When will Australians wake up and realise they live in one of the most over-regulated societies in the world? A Czech friend of mine who ran away from Big Brother in the '70s says it really concerns him that Australians aren't so very far away from being as 'free' as the Communist bloc countries of that era.
Rise up and protest!
