The push back against government coercion, tyranny, mandatory vaccination, vaccine passports, border closures, medical apartheid and stripping away our basic human rights has gone to the next level in Melbourne and around Australia. Since when has it been illegal to walk down the street and protest tyranny? Unless tyranny really exists. Our constitution allows protests.
People have had enough of the coercion and the lockdowns that kill more than COVID-19. The government has lost control of the situation, having to use police bullying and brutality to back up their own lies and deceit so it can implement its draconian measures to take away our freedoms and livelihoods.
While many people in the Shire are wanting more opening, MP Justine Elliot wants to capitalise on the fear to promote her re-election. She wants to put a ring of steel around the Northern Rivers and bring in the army to enforce it. We should be treating COVID as a strong flu and treat the symptoms with approved and effective medication like many countries are now successfully doing and lifting all restrictions.
People who were illegally arrested or fined for expressing their concerns should be encouraged to not pay any fine and to fight for their innocence in court. What an absolute waste of police and government resources to keep fighting COVID and the people. All this for a virus that has a 99.8 per cent survival rate for most people and to encourage an experimental vax that has the potential to be more dangerous than the virus itself! And if the vaccine is supposed to work, why would anyone be worried anyway?
