I see. So in other words, the Aussie PM believes in going full Emperor Palpatine. After all, if he believes he truly saved 30k lives taking away all freedom, then why not continue it forever? Just think, no more flu deaths during flu season. Very few car accident deaths.
Then, he could rigorously require a specific diet. That would saves 1000s from heart disease and obesity.
If everyone was forced to live in a 400 sq ft room, very few tripping deaths and injuries.
Then, most people could be put on a sedative and kept unconscious, and fed with an IV, practically no more crime injuries and murders. Think of all the money the government could save implementing all these policies.
Why, the list is practically endless on the how much good could be accomplished if people were forced to do exactly what the government demands in every situation in return for eliminating 100% of our freedom.
There was an episode of Mercury Theater’s The Shadow where a multimillionaire forced everyone to just lay about while he did everything for them, and they hated it. Orson Welles came along with Margo Lane and put a stop to that.
