1 Easy enough to march in NYC. Large demonstrations need to be happening in all the major cities of Australia.

2 Agreed, but of course then they would be subject to arrest for violating the "emergency" protocols.

They need to march armed. Australia is at the point where they need a revolution.

3 Armed? In Australia? With what, torches and pitchforks? Their guns were taken away from them in a forced government "buyback" a few years ago, and the populace these days is basically relegated to "subjects," not "citizens." Their gun control efforts predictably had no effect on the "crime" that they were supposed to cure, but Sleepy Joe still touts Australia's "gun control" as a model the world should follow -- or at least us.

4 I know; gun violence is no better now in Australia than before the gun grab. But it did succeed in allowing the government to be able to do this without fear.

My Aussie friends on Facebook all tell me it doesn't matter though; the public there is just, well, OBEDIENT and wouldn't dream of revolting.

They've been cowed over the years, apparently.

BTW A girl I knew in college married an Aussie man and has been living there for years. She just came back to the U.S. because, as she said, Australia has become a police state. She was sick of it.

(I never went out with her but should have; she was game. But our timing was always off. Too bad; she was  a really cute girl, and a lot of fun.)

5 Martha and I have an Aussie friend, who unfortunately doesn't do e-mail. Jim was a clerk at our local supermarket and we became friends, invited him and his foxy wife to supper along with other friends. Jim was retired from the Australian Navy, and the guy we brought to supper was retired U.S. Navy, and of course they hit it off like Scotch and water. Jim retired from the supermarket and they settled down in our town, but after Obama started doing his thing they decided to go back to Australia. About four years ago his wife died of cancer, and it's taken him a long time to recover  (I can understand -- she was wonderful and a real beauty). We exchange Christmas cards and newsletters, and we've always been sorry they didn't stay here, but we understand.

I wonder if he'll have anything to say about the "Aussie situation" in this year's Christmas newsletter?

6 I bet he will. A lot  of Aussies are really, really mad about it.
