Labor is passing laws that are more extreme than what Trump has attempted, on immigration and speech, largely at the behest of the media. But if Trump tried to do it, the same outlets would say they were bad, fascistic overreach. Insanely dumb country.

I'm terrified that this is true.
It is now OK to openly attack another country at will, so no difference between Putin's Russia and Trump's US
As anything now goes, no-one can complain if China invades Taiwan
What remained of the rule of international law has been torn up

It’s genocide that is "...unleashing forces in our community that are not being contained"—not those protesting against the genocide!
Ridiculous overreach from the NSW Premier and NSW Labor, announcing they will ban protests whenever they don’t like them.
