“But when I’m asked why Australians are fighting in the streets, I think it’s legitimate to ask the same questions of America.” I assume you meant to include the word NOT in your statement above. I don’t know who in this country is asking for Aussies to engage in violence but, I am not among them.
But, your response of actions in your country regarding “paperwork” is, “no offense”, pathetic.
The answer right now isn’t violence but, it is MASSIVE public displays of dissatisfaction. That is happening here in the USA.
Polling by even some Leftist MSM is showing that the outcome of the 2024 Presidential election is very likely to result in President Trump becoming the second President in US History to win a second term after not winning a second consecutive term.
The American people are not happy with the Tyranny of the Left. And, the resulting decline of wages, jobs, public safety, buying power(inflation), etc...
Guess what. I'm not seeing much reporting of this in either the US news media I watch here, or the Australian media I see either.
I'm not going to say it's not happening - but it's not getting much coverage.
I might suggest that you're not coming close to seeing everything that's happening in Australia either.
