[Before 2020 I always looked to AUS as a place I’d want to live someday. Now I know that the AUS gov’t is closer to a fascist style of rule than capitalist]
I thought pretty much the same thing - don’t remember what year, though, I came to the same conclusion. Always thought it was a good backup plan.
I still would have been driving on the wrong (right) side of the road...
Having become aware of how Australia does NOT have a robust Right-To-Keep-and-Bear-Arms in their constitution I was concerned about how much freedom there is in Australia.
Also, they seem to have a higher regard for the rights and lives of criminals, than they do for crime victims.
No capital punishment in Australia.
Pretty rare for a life sentence to be handed out.
Seems like murder convictions can be served out under some kind of “minimum term” that runs just 1/2 of the actual sentence.
Perversion of justice? Wonder what that statue would look like.
