Things have heated up in Australia. No, not the weather. I am talking about the insane government and their tyranny. They have gone full authoritarian in response to a few deaths. People locked into their apartment buildings, shutting down towns, harassing old woman on a park bench.
One of the really ridiculous and tyrannical is the removal of the right to protest. If you even dare to talk about protesting the governments response to the COVID scamdemic, you will be arrested by police.
Think it's a joke? Well, then you need to pay attention. The first incident I am aware of is of a pregnant woman arrested for inciting a protest. Yes, because you aren't allowed to protest anymore. That isn't a right. You're a criminal if you favorably talk about protests,a s that is encouraging or inciting protests.
Where is this incitement taking place? Facebook. All you have to do is post in support of a anti-government protest for their bullshit response to COVID-19, and you will be treated like a criminal.

Watch the video below.

People called that video fake, even though you can see the badges worn by the police.
Well it happened again. I saw another video, but I can't find it. They went into someone's home and arrested them for a facebook post about protests.
It happened a third time at the very least that I know of. This person didn't let state thugs in, but that didn't stop them. The rammed his door down and burst in to arrest him for a Facebook post.

This is the psychopathy of order followers. They don't care about right or wrong. They don't care about your rights. They only care that you do what you're told. And if you don't, they just get mad and get violent. That's what the sate is anyways, a monopoly on violence. Arresting you for posting on Facebook in favor of protests, and to deny you the right to protest, is an act of violence. These are criminals pretending to uphold law.
It is fucking crazy, you are right in that regard and the response of the public SHOULD BE OUTRAGE!
Having said that, there are some people standing up. Like look at this journalist that got arrested for being a journalist! lol

It is important however to make the distinction between each state's laws and lockdowns. This is happening in the state of Victoria.
I am in Western Australia - over here we've as much freedoms as before the entire Covid-19 debacle. The premier has locked down the borders and mining companies are taking the West Aussie government to court for this as well (the true face of mining comes out).
Here's a protest song I wrote in response to seeing the first video of the pregnant woman having her constitutional rights revoked via State of Emergency powers.

Unfortunately most Australians will likely take this sitting down. A very comfortable people that had little reason to stand for much in the past. I've been disheartened many times by attempts as an activist to get people moving for their own rights.
Possibly this time will be different, but possibly not. The activists are seen as radicals. Freedoms we stood up for before are now considered illegal.
Possible the husband was calm simply because he was well subdued by the fear of what would happen if he made a debacle out of it, that and the fact that it was in a family home. I don't believe it was fake, it is becoming more and more common practice to video tape any interactions with police as people become more aware of their rights to do so.
I do consider however that a motivation for having it spread virally is to induce fear in those who would wish to also advertise a rally against Covid-19 lockdown measures.
On one side it assists the cause of waking people up to the state of what is happening to our rights underneath our noses; and on the other side it locks other people into a fear induced coma, mindlessly following their government orders (believing its for the greater good) and not speaking up (exercising their right to free speech).
We have grown so comfortable here in Australia with our freedoms, it is hard for the average person to consider that they can be taken away in a single moment.
