Remember several years ago they disarmed the population.

You are either very imaginative or completely taken in by a web site that has no truthful comment. You tried this concentration camp caper a week or two ago. Have you no real news to report?[/quote]
They're desperate to deflect from an abject public health failure with covid.
Trump made masks political during a pandemic??? Who does that? He would've been Chief today if he did his job.
"Freedom!" and "Tyranny!" are in high rotation with GOPers these days after cues from GOPagogues and Fox. And these mugs buy into it hook, line and sinker.
Rightwing US pundit Candace Owens compares Australian government to the Taliban, calling it a ‘tyrannical police state’
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/oct/22/rightwing-us-pundit-candace-owens-compares-australian-government-to-the-taliban-calling-it-a-tyrannical-police-state-“ ... When do we deploy troops to Australia? When do we invade Australia and free an oppressed people who are suffering under a totalitarian regime? When do we spend trillions of dollars to spread democracy in Australia?” she asked. ..."
While US rightwing commentators are keen to portray Australians suffering under tyranny, the public health measures adopted by federal, state and territory governments have been overwhelmingly supported by the population.
The measures have also been largely successful. While Australia has had about 1,500 deaths and 130,000 cases, the figures are far below the US death toll of 730,000 deaths and 45m cases, even on a per capita basis.
... and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis

You know, they’re enforcing, after a year and a half, they’re still enforcing lockdowns by the military,” Governor DeSantis warned.
“That’s not a free country. It’s not a free country at all. In fact, I mean, I wonder why we would still have the same diplomatic relations when they’re doing that.
“Is Australia freer than China, communist China, right now? I don’t know. The fact that that’s even a question tells you something has gone dramatically off the rails with some of this stuff.”
Only just over 1,250 Australians have died from COVID, compared to more than 54,000 Floridians.
Florida averages 350 deaths per day in a state of 22 million people.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison defended Australia’s response to COVID, arguing “cultural differences” were behind the different approaches.
“I think we are different societies. I mean, we‘re great friends and we share beliefs and values that we hold dear … but in Australia, when it comes to public health, we’re a very pragmatic nation,” Mr Morrison told US network CBS.
“And I can tell you, the virus doesn’t care what you believe. The virus cares about how it can come and take your life.”
