That’s The People’s Republic of Victoria. Where the lefty government was thrown out, to be replaced by….a leftish government. Shades of NZ and Britain…..

FOR LIBERTY
The social liberals are really authoritarians in disguise. Nasty and vicious intolerant totalitarian scum.
Well said.
Remember what happened to Andrew Bolt. Soon they’ll be simply outlawing everything Conservative, opinions, views, speech, thoughts etc.
Enough Victorians like being ruled by the green fascists.
Yep, MK. It’ll be ‘democratic totalitarianism’.
Yep, more of Orwell’s ‘prophecy’ coming to pass.
“War is Peace,” “Freedom is Slavery,” and “Ignorance is Strength.”
Now to open a Gulag for the dissidents…
It’s always just a hairsbreadth away, Os. I find it amusing when people talk about evil Germans herding Jews into cattle trucks, as though they had some genetic predisposition for savagery, and we’re incapable of such things……give the liberals a hi-viz vest and a clipboard and they’ll do it, all right.
Conservatives persist in under-estimating the depths of hatred on the left.
Don’t need gulags when they can just take your children away. I read an article today where a man criticized a judge, and then a day later at 10:30 at night place and social workers swooped in and took his 12 year old daughter away. This was in Britain. Will post the link later, as I’m on my phone right now.
That was supposed to be police and social workers, I blame my auto correct!
I look forward to seeing that link, LM. It seems nothing is beyond the pale for our masters any more.
Here’s the link.
I remembered where I saw it (still on my phone).
If they bring in this law, I’ll put up a post on it and invite Victorians to insult, deride and denigrate these bastards in comments.
This is outrageous. Wake up you bloody Aussies. Are you all asleep?! Or are your brains all infected or infarcted?! Your collective torpor has gone beyond a joke., and is really starting to scare me.
What Redbaiter said, and given I’m far more mild than he, I suspect he held back, because I know I still am.
Remember Your History Or Be Doomed To Repeat It !

Australia Commits Suicide!

To dominate the people, you have to make them poor and helpless. No laws to protect them from those in power. No cheap energy no cheap food ,no freedom.
As someone currently serving time in the PRV (remembering this is the only state in the country where people have looked at a sodomite watermelon and said ‘I want that guy to represent me in Parliament – it is red, red, red here) I can attest there was a wave of hope and relief last year when the Bru,by Labor government was removed from office and thE Coalition elected.
Sadly there are many parallels between Baillieu in the PRV and Key in the People”s Socialist Republic of Aotearoa. Both men are individually wealthy (Key is rich off the currency trading floor and Baillieu from both inheritance and from riding the property bubble). Both railed against nanny statism when in opposition but have taken steps to advance the power of the state since being elected. Both are benefitting from a weak and largely circus-lime opposition.
Gillard and faux-conservatives like Baillieu are working to destroy Australia. And so far they’ve been pretty successful.
And while I’m about it, here are a couple of random, impertinent (OT) questions:
1/ in addition to single-handedly destroying the Labor party for a generation, is Julia Gillard also, unforgivably, bringing the role of Prime Minister into disrepute?
2/ in his shameless, craven assault in Gillard in an attempt to take back ‘his’ job, is Kevin Rudd bringing the roles of both Foreign Minister and Prime Minister into disrepute?
3/ are Labor looking to Stephen Smith the same way the Coalition looked to Brendan Nelson after the 2007 election?
