If you want to keep making sweeping claims then yes your geography is wrong. Melbourne has the record but often Victoria outside of Melbourne was not in lockdown whilst Melbourne was. And lockdowns have ended anyway. Australia is a big country and most of us do not liive in Melbourne. And how the police there handled a thousand looney anti vaxxers does not make it a police state. I was in HK when over one million protesters were in the streets and there was industrial quantities of tear gas deployed. Do not compare Australia to HK. I still have many friends and ex colleagues in HK but it will be a very long time if ever before I return there.
