You know naturalman1975, you’re a great guy but you sure are willing to let your economy go down the drain with lock-downs and attempts to get down to zero cases of the virus, which is ridiculous. It appears too many Aussies are like the frog in the boiling pot, finding out too late that their goose (pardon the switch from frogs to geese) is cooked.

Aussies have let their guns be confiscated by their gov’t, and are at the total mercy of their gov’t mandates on any subject. Australia has gone too far down the socialist road to easily recover from this path and are unarmed to boot. We could go down the same path if our citizens don’t wise up fast. The results of the mid-term elections should show us what trajectory we are on.

No, I'm not.

First of all, our economy isn't going down the drain. It's still doing quite well. It would be better without all the lockdowns, but Australia is still in excellent economic shape.

Secondly, I am totally oppose to zero Covid. And so is the Australian government - though it did flirt with the idea when it did still look possible (we have had periods months long without any active cases in the Australian community and most states are at Covid Zero right now). Even the Victorian government which has been the state most obsessed with Covid zero has mostly given up on that now.

Aussies have let their guns be confiscated by their gov’t, and are at the total mercy of their gov’t mandates on any subject.

Again, this is another myth about Australia. I'm a gun owner. Well over a million Australians legally own guns. There are more guns in Australia now than there were in the 1990s when according to the myth firearms were confiscated in Australia. Americans seem to have been conditioned to believe lies about Australia and I often wonder why. Is it an attempt to make Americans think you're more free than you are, by constantly telling them lies about how 'unfree' everybody else is?

Now that would be a conspiracy theory, wouldn't it?
