While the majority of residents take COVID-19 and vaccinations seriously, there are growing fears that freedoms taken away won't return under the ‘new COVID normal.’

If i can ask you when you think most people will start realizing that? all these restrictions, passports when you think most will stop and think for once?
The booster shots in Israel arent doing much to lower the covid cases.
When you think it would be enough for the pickle to hit the floor?

It will be interesting how the Australian politicians react to this kind of protest The police seem to be the brunt of chants and get completely rolled over when the crowd mows them down. Note these are not the MSM versions.www.bitchute.com...

Us Aussies are tired.
We've got Federal, State and Territory governments all doing their own things, One state (WA) is flat out refusing to open borders and making it nearly impossible to enter or leave, even with talk about banning anyone who is not a resident from entry (and still having to Quarantine) without been fully vaxxed.
The premiers of NSW and QLD seem to be more focused on oneupmanship against each other than actually helping their residents. There is a massive Delta outbreak in NSW, and instead of talking about how the State government will help, the Premier sends barbs and has constant arguments with the Premier of QLD.
Hell, SA went into a lockdown when the NSW outbreak began and had exactly 0 cases.
Victorians have been in a lockdown for 6-8 weeks now, with no sign of it ending.
We head the national cabinet Federal government and state leaders) Saying things will open up with an 80% vax rate, then publicly they go off and do their own things....NSW says 70%, WA says 90%..... Each individual state and Territory are talking about their own version of a Vax passport (I personally hate and disagree with this) and are forming a 2 caste system, the Vaxxed and un-vaxxed. 2 seperate "freedoms" for either group. This only serves to divide our nation.
People haven't seen family in months. We can't travel, have to submit papers to go into another state, run the risk of forced Quarantine if you go out of your state......
There's no direction, there's no leadership, there's no talk about how we get back to some form of normalcy.
Lets be honest, Covid isn't going anywhere. If it was going to be eliminated, it would have ages ago. It mutates just like the Influenza virus. The sooner everyone gets over Covid zero and we shift focus to how the country can live with the virus and go back to normal the better.
Getting vaxxed doesn't cure the virus, it helps to keep those people who do catch it out of the hospital system and helps to free up those systems to help people who actually need the care. Our medical system is struggling and overworked.
Covid. Isn't. Going. Away.
What your seeing from Vic with the Protests are people fed up and tired of constantly worrying about how they can provide for their families, how they can meet their loan/mortgage/debts requirements when they have no assurances that they won't be out of work tomorrow.
Those people who are getting violent as the minority, they are there only to cause trouble. Unfortunately when your throwing bricks, bottles, rocks etc, assaulting the cops, of course they will eventually respond. And of course your not going to like their response.
You don't win a fight fairly, you use overwhelming force. That's what the cops are doing. If you don't like it, don't be an idiot and go looking for trouble.
For those of us who have seen these protests and the Freedom Rally protests, the cops do not start this violence, but they will end it. They feel the pressures and impact of this madness just like everyone else.
If you've got issues, take it up with your elected members, your local, state and federal government. Protest those people.
Yes, Us Aussies are tired. But there are better ways to go about this than violence towards those who run towards trouble and danger when most people run away.
Back the Blue. Support the Blue. Shift your anger to those people who make the decisions, to those who are determined to undermine the unity of our Nation for their own personal pride.
I strongly disagree. Violence is the only thing these tyrannical governments understand. I hope they continue to break through barriers setup by police forces and continue to tell the government. Enough is enough. More countries need to be doing the same thing.

Agree with you. Virtually every other argument or assertion on this thread is just randome bollocks. We use the political process, we vote but there is no violence. There is nothing democratic about violence, but there is in terms of how you choose to vote. Anything else is just too American, too ATS...
