A police state can present itself inn many forms countessalmirena. You're using some very brutal examples in other countries to counter what Mr Sabhlok, has said. Did you know that Australia has been on a gradual downward slide as far as freedom and liberties are concerned? Well by Western Standards he has a valid point.
In the wake of the Sept 11, 2001 tragedy and further on, Howard implemented laws and gave authorities powers that could easily be abused. And they may be one day!
Not content with destroying workers rights and lusting after an American style medical system where if you don't have insurance you can die, he wanted something that could be likened to what was happening in Germany during the 1930s. Fraser was on to it!
Well, OK that was back then and is another issue. But ......
People are having to go through checkpoints and they are (In the opinion of many) also being prepped mentally / emotionally for something that could be made mandatory.
FINANCIAL REVIEWWhy I was right about Victoria's police state
The critics of Daniel Andrews' authoritarian virus response have been proved correct by the draconian omnibus COVID-19 emergency bill.
John Roskam Columnist
Sep 24, 2020 โ 2.22pmAt the beginning of April, I wrote in these pages that Labor Premier Daniel Andrews, in response to COVID-19, had created a "police state" in Victoria. The column ran with the standfirst: "Economic devastation, house arrest and a police state. Surely there could have been a better way."
I described how under Andrews the most extreme home detention laws in the country had been enacted and enforced without public debate or parliamentary scrutiny, and how the government regulations that controlled every aspect of Victorians' lives were being made and then changed, literally "hour by hour at the whim of politicians and bureaucrats".

You do tend to put an overly dramatic spin on things countessalmirena.
Unlike you, I don't reject Mr Sabhlok's viewpoint with abhorrence. I look at it as an intelligent analysis which indicates where we could possibly be heading.

A police state is a government that exercises power through the power of the police force.
A totalitarian state controlled by a political police force that secretly supervises the citizens' activities.
In the wake of the Sept 11, 2001 tragedy and further on, Howard implemented laws and gave authorities powers that could easily be abused. And they may be one day!
Now you are starting to sound like one of those US citizens that believes in the 2nd amendment and all the
conspiracy theories about the US government.

Again with the suppositions from your imaginations that has no base for believabilty.
And that is why there is such a VAST difference between what the countess writes and it's acceptance by others as there is knowledge and that this is Aus and not anything that can be termed as a a police state as that refers to brutailty and loss of freedom by all citizens.
If the lockdowns hadn't happened we would've had 1000's of more cases and more deaths and if the lockdown had been removed early like the stupid protesters wanted then we would've had more cases as well.
What did all the protesters achieve during lockdown?
They got out of there home to protests during a dangerous period where others could die because of their stupidity about different things and what did it achieve/change because of it NOTHING.

You obviously have no idea about checkpoints and why they are/were necessarily and NO they are NOT used as you mentioned and once again you have gone into conspiracy theories and even trying to use the unfounded (In the opinion of many) .
Mental health can be a big issue for some and imagining things that aren't true can impact people lives in a very negative manner.

The part is that there was no better way as proven by the outcome so his diatribe is just a lot of nonsense.
