Has anyone been following what happening to so-called Democracy Down Under?

A friend travelled to Australia right before COVID and she told me the Aussies considered Queensland the “hillbilly” state. She must have confused it with WA.

You clearly do not understand that a government that has nothing to fear from the populous, can and probably will do whatever it wants to to the populous. The populous doesn’t need to able to defeat the government, all they have to do is be able to cause them so much trouble that they will think better than to try to impose their will without consent.

Activist Judges.

Prove it.

I never claimed that they don’t support them. Sheep gotta be sheep.

Your argument has grown stale.

None of which has anything whatsoever to do with what I said.

What do you mean “again”? It’s still happening.

And when it’s convenient, they were just sightseers.

Proving @Hexenbiest’s point that “there is like zero natural immunity there.”

Sightseeing can be scary when you are privileged.

Wait: if they happen agree with the laws, why does that make them sheep?

Because the law makes them sheep.

So the laws that you follow make you a sheep?

Kind of makes the term meaningless.

You are missing the point. Their government disarmed them and they love it. They are sheep.

No, I think that you are missing my, and more importantly @westaussie 's point.

At any time, if the Australians found the gun laws onerous, they could vote in new politicians and roll back the laws.

The American way is not the only way. Other countries can and do things differently. That doesn’t make them sheep, that makes them different.

Have to give the protestors credit there for thinking. They just turned the riot police squad into something similar to a gay pride event.
