We aren't free and never have been. Our system of land means that we are essentially tenants of the Crown (even if we "own" the land). We have no freedom of speech. We voted twice in referendums to not allow local government to become the third layer of Government and they did it anyway. Then they declared all free land as "public land" which belong to local governments. Who are also allowed to make their own lay independent of the State or Federal government as long as it's under the guise of planning law. Our heads of State are just Chinese puppets and we continually sell off national assets to Chinese State-owned corporations.
Without the US we are simply a resource outpost for China and a source of (future) slave labour.
The mass of people are oblivious and like it that way. They think it'll never affect them...
Its not free anymore
The Australian System is utterly fucked.
