To me, the suppression we are seeing in Victoria, should be met with armed resistance.
At what point does the power that the government has usurped from the people, get reigned in by force of arms from a disgusted public.
You also have to remember that Melbourne is a far left city like Portland, San Francisco and Seattle. The population so overwhelms the rest of rural Victoria (which is much more conservative). So Melbourne elects the Premier, who is Dan Andrews, who is far left and a dictator like DeBlasio in NYC. In Oz, the states have far more power than the USA and they make the rules for Covid, not the Federal Government. The police force is far left in Melbourne. So this is not representative of all of Australia. NSW (Sydney) now has a new Premier who is anti-lockdown, so that is great news. The tide is turning in Australia against the lock-downs.
