OMG, like the ALP + LNP on criminalising peaceful protest, on giving gambling a free pass, on the toothless Federal ICAC, on whistlebower non-protection, religious "discrimination" laws, increasing fossil fuels, decreasing environmental protection, undermining ALP policy (EPA, anyone) etc

The Hannibal Directive… (google it) was not just issued: it was expanded drastically from risking army personal deaths to prevent capture, to deliberately killing personnel and civilians so they could not be used in negotiations.
