The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, Article 20: ‘Everyone has the right to peaceful assembly and association’. The police commissioner says: ‘anyone planning to attend a COVID lockdown protest in Sydney will be arrested’. They have replaced our democracy with a ‘Medical Government’, de-prioritised elections and emphasised medical control, to replace our previous freedoms.
The situation will be stable until eventually, the protesters become too numerous and their numbers will increase with every added restriction, and over time this political situation is not for a few more short years, but for the rest of our lives. CO2 output will diminish.
