Did Australia leap ahead and stop this process by ridding itself of the Morrison/ LNP? Or because we are generally regarded as being 20 years behind are we merely witnessing a delay in this forward movement? If the Dutton/ LNP continues it’s Abbottesque nope nope nope opposition it doesn’t bide well for our once two party bipartisan Democracy but rather indicates what might be seen as the continued Monkey Pod room push for a future coup. In a true Democracy a loss must be accepted as much as is a win. Is that what Dutton is doing?
Candidates who amplified false claims about Donald Trump winning in 2020 did very well in this month’s primaries. Their victories are one more step in the direction of authoritarianism.
Last week, the Morrison government, supported by the ALP, passed a law that allows for security agencies, on the most flimsy of pretexts, to access and manipulate the electronic data of any citizen. It continues the slide into authoritarianism that started with the Tampa affair 20 years ago.
How in the world could 1% of the population ever win elections over the 99%? Simple. The 1% bamboozles the 99%. To win elections, the right must conceal its true intentions from the voters and instead engage in manipulative tactics, like lying and fearmongering. The lies are not just little lies.They are whoppers. They are the complete opposite of the truth. They are 180 degrees from the truth. They are the polar opposite of the truth, like from the North Pole all the way to the South Pole. Hence the term Big Lie.
