It is glaringly obvious now that Australian politicians and supplicant citizens have done deals with the devil, and with one another. Self-serving politicians and self-interested citizens. Big Government pretends to “protect” citizens, and the citizens pretend to believe them and go along with the myth that we 'are all in it together' as long as they do as they are told, accept the loss of freedoms and police surveillance everywhere they go (now also via their credit card transactions, it seems), and they will be rewarded. The plebs actually believe that politicians are looking after them. And, how good is all that money Big Brother is throwing around!

Rights now exist purely at the discretion of Morrison, Andrews and sundry dictators, elected and unelected. Australians are tamely allowing to happen here what happened long ago in China, Russia, and Nazi Germany.

Fear and rewards. Stick and carrot - at the moment; soon it will just be the stick. We will have more of China here than just their virus.

So, I give you one guess what would happen if the Govt. decided to stop vaccination & make it available to those who want to buy it !

Dear Ttbn,

Your accusations of government are superstitious because the capabilities, intelligence, intentionality and direction that you attribute to them are unfounded - their random unprincipled acts can better be likened to Brownian motion or to the path of flies and only mature intelligent beings can be sanely accused of malice.

The bullying, attacks on our freedoms and general surveillance is not going to end any time soon :-

Australia’s vaccination rate lags behind Jordan, Columbia and Mauritius.
A Melbourne nurse reported that, during an 8 hour shift at a mass vaccination centre, she vaccinated ONE person.
WHO says that complete vaccination in Australia is probably 2 years away.
One or two cases are announced, and the population waits breathlessly for another lockown.
In 2020, 515,000 were lost in the lower income areas; 195,000 jobs were GAINED in the higher income areas - i.e, the area where the people least affected by restrictions, but where champions of lockdowns and restrictions for others still enjoy the good life.. Why would they take the knee of your necks? Has lack of vaccination been due to political incompetence, or has it been deliberate? All that lovely power might be lost?

A stop to all this anti-democracy is possible, but people have to want it stopped.

I don’t agree with your concept, politicians are unintelligent.

They are generally speaking, unprincipled.

And I’m herein looking at a picture of our smiling Gladys encroaching herself onto OLO patrons by attempting to promote a taxpayer funded knee bend to climate change, advertising rebates for solar.

God save us from criminals.

Had Chairman Xi Daniel not been not been laid up, Victoria would have been in lockdown again by now.
