The democratic police state of Australia

March 28, 2025

For whatever arguably good reason these laws are passed they eventually apply to any other good cause that the public may be protesting about.

Any curtailing of our right to peaceful protest moves us closer to the dictatorial/fascist states we see on our nightly news and the violence that invariably follows them.

We have sufficient laws about damage, graffiti, violence and freedom of speech without politicising everything and every opinion.

My concern is not that we have too many public servants, it’s that we have too many politicians with nothing better to do than pass laws only for the benefit of the too many lawyers and those who can afford them.
