Ask Victorians, locked up for 9 months.

 

People have been sacked over free speech.

 

 

Aussies were prevented from entering their own country last year. People prevented from going to family funerals.

 

Pregant woman prevented from crossing a state line.

What things aren't you allowed to say ?

You can find other jobs where being vaccinated isn't compulsory

Those were special rules for dealing with the pandemic , they are temporary rules which will be changed when they Covid threat subsides

Im not talking about human rights in Australia and how their elected politicians handled the covid crises, but overall your claim is wrong. 
 

ones freedom choosing to not take the vaccine take away anothers persons freedom. Dont mix pandemics and how it have been handled with freedom. Thats just utterly wrong and stupid.

So you want to eliminate freedom from people to expand freedom? Makes no sense

I do believe that "free speech" here is curtailed, if you just post links without giving an explanation as to what the link contains 

Surely you can read it.

The 2021 edition of Freedom in the World, covering the events of 2020, marked the 15th consecutive year of decline in global freedom. Of the 195 independent countries assessed by the report, 73 experienced aggregate score declines

Boil a rabbit slowly it doesnt know its being cooked. Same thing with humans and freedom. 15 years in a row of freedom declines.

Yes, but I prefer not to reply to whoever wrote the article .  

Should I reply to Kate Dilley, who wrote the article ten years ago ?

Or can you write something using your own words ?

You claimed no loss of freedoms. I proved you wrong.

 

Reading is the best way to learn new things.

 

I dont care if you reply or not.

 

Read the links and see what is happening in the world.

Can you please tell me if  you are over or under 40 years of age.

 

You say that you have nor freedom.

 

Answer me this then.  If Japan had not attacked Pearl Harbour and <deleted> off the Americans. Then in al likelihood Australia would be a colony of the Emperor of Japan.

 

What kid of freedoms do you think you would have had under the military rule of the Imperial Japanese army.

 

Please do not tell me that it would not have happened.

 

 

They didn't "give" their lives, or sacrifice their lives.

Their lives were ripped away. Taken.

I really hate those euphemisms.

Karen have you ever served in the military.

 

If not then I am sorry for your lack of education.

 

When a soldier enlists in the military they make a promise  to put their lives on the line.   During WW! and WW2 these people knew that there wre ch ances that t hey would not make it.  Yes they went wher they were ordered but I can tell you from experience in the military that they all knew their chances and yes while many of them died a violent death it was still doing something that they wanted to do. For their country.

 

Please do not diminish the acts of heroism and what they did because you do not like the choice of words.  Every man that stormed those beaches or dropped into Europe did so so that they could fight Nazism and assist those being t reated poorly.

I lived through it. Many on here predicted the end of freedom but freedom stayed and Premier can be voted out shortly if people decide. Australia highly rated free press and democracy. Just look at recent election. 
My grandfather was actually too young in world war 1 and too old in World war 2 but faked his birth certificate in both. I think he would have understood what happened as he lived through Spanish flu.
