Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud: You Must Give Up Your Freedom for Multiculturalism

Aussies used to be a hardy lot, as one would expect from a nation founded to house the outcasts from a more “civilized” society. Sent off to a land where just about every animal is poisonous or a killing machine that would scare the pants off any ordinary person, Australians built themselves a lovely little country filled with strong individualists.

The laws were already there. The gun laws and the hate speech laws in Australia are already strict but they were not applied equally to Australian citizens as Albo and Minns focussed on the “far right”. In response to a failure of the application of the existing laws the government is just implementing more laws. More laws to control innocent people.

And so, it seems, are the elite of Australia, who have been steadily chipping away at both the identity of Australians as a cohesive and free society and the freedoms that Australians have traditionally enjoyed.
