SENGER: "Extraordinary protest in Melbourne, Australia against interminable lockdowns, mandates, and the new pandemic law which would grant the executive indefinite emergency powers. No small feat, given past protesters have faced huge fines and police brutality. (VIDEO)"

Friend from there told me the media is trying to pass this off as climate demonstrations, but the signs people are holding prove otherwise.

Australia started as a penal colony and it's going to end as a penal colony. All in the name of "saving lives." I feel badly for those poor sheeple.

The media is propaganda that pushes an agenda as opposed to reporting reality fairly.

There's another one, Marisa, who's fond of reporting things like, "oh I was permitted to take a walk today and the weather was beautiful." As if that's a sign of a normal society.

Sounds just like China, but then again, Australians won't admit China owns them.

Never forget one thing.
Australia is an island.
Hence, it is VERY convenient to use it for crowd control test ground. Can't spread far, if something goes wrong and Aussies riot beyond control.
Thus, what you see in Tralia is what to come anywhere else, as far as all the protocols kinks will be ironed out.

People love to question how Australians could be such sheep being descendants of exiled prisoners, but what they don't realize is they are also descendants of law enforcement who kept all those prisoners in check. It's like one giant history of compliance and "do what they say"

Curious — have all these serious lockdowns brought the Covid numbers down enough to justify it?
