The Australian Medical Professionals Society (AMPS) has been formed recently as an alternative to the AMA.

Concerned about the "growing evidence" around the world that information has been withheld from public view, and that doctors have been bullied if they dare question any data related to Covid, the AMPS intends "standing up for medical transparency" to ensure open scientific debate.

AMPS members are refusing to be silenced, "even under threats to our registrations". They are concerned that regulatory bodies have forced compliance to medical mandates rather than leaving risk as a matter of personal choice.

The AMPS stands for 'medical transparency and open scientific debate'.

The AMPS says that the government regulator, AHPRA, has warned doctors and nurses not to question publicly government and public health directives, including those related to Covid, effectively gagging them with threats to their registration. Many professionals have been disciplined or suspended.

Of course, the AMPS might be giving too much credit to average Australians by not believing that they might actually want to be controlled by Big Brother, rather than taking responsibility for themselves. So much easier.

For the wider forum audience I read a great comment on Reddit which said:

"The USA is the "Land of the free". As such they had a really hard time getting people to comply with stay-at-home orders, masks, vaccines and social distancing. These restrictions impinge on personal freedoms, which in their culture is sacrosanct.

Australia meanwhile is the "Land of the fair go". As such we don't mind some restrictions as long as it's "Fair".

The difference between "freedom" and "fairness" doesn't often come up in a big way, but when you have a pandemic that threatens people's lives it seems fair to do our level-best to give those with compromised immune systems a fair chance at survival, even if that means giving up some personal freedom.

So I disagree that we're "obsessed with rules" or that we're opening ourselves to authoritarianism. I think what we have is a stronger base to resist authoritarian overthrow - those who abuse their power would be viewed as "unfair" and would find themselves facing a much less compliant crowd."

Thank God for Australians.

Lockdowns, travel restrictions, masks, all came from the CCP rule book. China aside, Australia’s Covid totalitarianism was viewed with amazement by similar countries.

Australians today are ripe for serfdom. A 'fair go' and scorn for authority is a myth, not even talked about these days. A majority of Australians polled no longer feel that they can say what they want to. Woke has won. The fact that many of us still think things are they way they once were, heads up bums, and scornful of dissenters to Woke, will make it even easier for the political class.

I would say 80% of Australians live in a daze, fooling themselves that she'll be right.

Dear Steele,

Well said.

It may also interest people to know that the Australian
Medical Professional Society (AMPS) is an employee
union. They are part of the "Red Union" movement that
began focusing on opposing rules from some states requiring
all workers in high risk industries such as health care to
be vaccinated, wear masks, et cetera.

The Australian Council of Trade Unions secretary -
Sally McManus has warned people to be careful of these
organisations. They are false unions run by LNP and their
associates (Malcolm Roberts is a huge supporter). This
amounts to an anti-vax campaign which will directly cause
working people to contract a deadly virus.

Thanks for the thread TTBN- Kudos.

"Red Unions"- interesting- there appears to be a movie released soon- is this red in the sense that the Republican Party is labelled as Red or in the sense that the communist party is Red. There has been some reference to the CFMEU being involved in Australia- or is this just CFMEU workers rather than leadership- remember the split between the members and leadership in the Melbourne protests as well as the crackdowns by the armoured militarized policeforce.
