On February 1, 2020 had somebody asked you to pick the country whose citizens would mount a mass protest against government tyranny that would spark a worldwide movement,
and which country would zoom from freedom to tyranny in something like zero to sixty in three seconds,
Note: you can’t play this as it has, of course, been taken down.
I’ll bet your pre-lockdown answers would not have been, respectively, Canada
and Australia.
The new rule was introduced by the Western Australia government, not the supermarket chain
Note bene: Australia’s dictates have nothing to do with “health.” This mechanism is intended to reward compliance and punish non-compliance. It’s not even subtle anymore, their “incentivizing” their citizens to behave as they wish is simple in-your-face tyranny. This week it’s alcohol, next week medical care and the following food and fuel. That is how tyrants work
