The scary part is that some (thankfully not all) countries use this as a blueprint. If someone would have suggested something like this was possible just a few years ago, most people would have though these were just musings of a lunatic conspiracy theorist. What is most frightening though is the short timespan it took for people to accept and even "welcome" this "new reality". my own quote
One of the comments on this video:
Australia is the "North Korea" of western democracies.
he answered with these links:
High court rejects legal challenge against Victoria's Covid lockdown
The high court has unanimously rejected the constitutional challenge against Victoria’s lockdown.
The case, brought by the hotelier Julian Gerner, unsuccessfully sought to argue that the Australian constitution contains an implied freedom of movement for any reason.
Supreme court rejects Victorian anti-lockdown protester’s legal challenge
A legal challenge to Covid-19 stay-at-home orders brought by a woman who protested against Victoria’s second wave lockdown has been dismissed.
On Tuesday the Victorian supreme court rejected Kerry Cotterill’s case, finding neither the orders nor the Public Health and Wellbeing Act breached the implied freedom of political communication.
Australian court upholds ban on most international travel
An Australian court on Tuesday rejected a challenge to the federal government’s draconian power to prevent most citizens from leaving the country so that they don’t bring COVID-19 home.
Australia is alone among developed democracies in preventing its citizens and permanent residents from leaving the country except in “exceptional circumstances” where they can demonstrate a “compelling reason.”
Most Australians have been stranded in their island nation since March 2020 under a government emergency order made under the powerful Biosecurity Act.

A video I was made aware of: Polish MP's protesting in front of the Australian Embassy. Like other, primarily Eastern Europeans, they remember what totalitarianism is like from their own more recent history.

More, from, 28.10.2021
Daniel Andrews (right) was called a 'dictator' in a hysterical 'screaming match' in the Victorian Parliament over his new pandemic management laws - as two polls show his popularity slipping. The controversial new laws allow the premier to declare a pandemic for an unlimited time and could see rulebreakers jailed for two years and fined up to $454,350. They also allow the Government to apply lockdowns and vaccine mandates to a 'class of person' such as the unvaccinated or workers with a certain type of job. In a heated debated in Parliament on Wednesday, which involved shouting across the chamber, shadow attorney-general Tim Smith (left) said: 'This is nonsensical, it's an abuse of power.
