The US is under occupation by a kleptocracy—so I am not going to defend any policy by those sleazeballs.
They are as alien to me as little green men from Mars—we have no values in common.
The difference seems to be that many Australians try to find excuses for their government trespasses on their liberties—I (and I believe many if not most Americans—depends on who is counting) make no such excuses for our home grown tyrants.
Our Federal elections are coming up early next year and the Labor/Green party is doing everything in their power to get our conservative government out and for them to be elected. Then it is when we are really going to have problems, as most of the problem issues you see about Australia, have been caused by the far leftists in the Labor-run state governments and the media down here (that is completely run by the Green Party). Right now, it looks the Labor Party is going to win and Anthony Albanese will be the new Prime Minister....he is far left and further left than Biden. So then the FR will really have a field day with policies going on in Australia. Here is a very recent article on Albanese: https://www.news.com.au/national/politics/labor-leader-anthony-albanese-announces-plan-to-cut-greenhouse-emissions-by-43-per-cent-by-2030/news-story/76c84b7ffd1b04b36e17f4f501e8d067
