The length and severity of the lockdowns are entirely in the hands of Glady’s Berejiklian and our unelected ”health expert” Dr Kerry Chant. This is where the uncertainty around our future is coming from and their grip on power seems to be getting stronger by the day, which is only increasing the uncertainty we face.
Australia is now officially a dictatorship, we used to criticise the CCP for their dictatorship, yet only a few years later we have followed in their footsteps. Australian police patrol the streets harassing anyone they like, fining people for arbitrary reasons that change everyday. All online activity can now be monitored by the police and we have seen a comedian’s employee arrested for criticising the government, just like in China.
Within reason I would recommend non-violent resistance to the new authoritarian measures we face. You don’t have to break the law, but within reason, you can resist all authoritarian measures.
I’m currently in Sydney Australia, where today is the beginning of a tightening of restrictions. So, luckily for you, I have time to sit down and write about what’s going on here in this authoritarian state, formally known as the lucky country.
