Who would ever have guessed this was Scott the Salesman Morrison
Morrison has attached with America a nation that history has shown abandoned peace for the business of redefining war.
The greatest shame looking back is that it wasn’t science that put us
50-60 years back and behind the 8 ball. It wasn’t science that
misinformed us and restricted our work on Climate. Its’ not science that
is screwing with us and Covid either. Back then in the 60s to protest was a call to "Turn on, Tune in and Drop out" not forever but the 1960s-70s version of a gap year. So certain drugs became illegal.
After early psychiatric experimentation in the 1950s and ‘60s, followed by decades of prohibition – sparked in part by the backlash against the hippy counterculture – psychedelics are experiencing a renaissance. A new wave of research has returned to hallucinogenic drugs as potential candidates to treat psychiatric conditions.

Throwing away any notion of a social contract and that "individualism is just all me, no we" a handful of basically misinformed working-class protesters took to the streets to revolt, protest, tear down the "system" and basically any notion of their part in any social contract. Meanwhile, they were trying to do the extreme work of justifying the right's demands to change the government who is to blame. Is it a coincidence that Matthew Guy just became leader of the State LNP opposition and needed an anti-Dan movement on the streets and front pages? Trump a right wing celebrity lead the way in the US. So who is leading it here?
More than one Trump-Pence flag was seen amid the crowd, along with a red MAGA cap or two. The disparate group of unionists, anti-vaxxers, anarchists, right wingers (including Proud Boys and neo-Nazis) and general troublemakers shut down parts of a city already crippled by COVID-19. Their agenda, apparently initially sparked by suspension of access to tea rooms and mandated vaccination due to viral spread in the construction sector, was hijacked. It morphed into a general protest against authority, targeted at lockdowns, government, police and even the construction union.

Your Freedom comes with a Social Contract
We are proudly, according to the LNP, 47th in the world when it comes to Vaccinations. "It's definitely not a race" according to Scott Morrison and Greg Hunt and they are guaranteeing we don't know just how slow they have insured we've been.

When your a voter and it's your electorate but the biggest influencer is never you what is your role in Democracy?
Research from the Centre for Public Integrity has shown that over the past 20 years, the property and construction sectors disclosed a total of over $54 million in donations to political parties. Callum Foote reports.
First, there’s the explicit “quid pro quo” corruption as occurring where a candidate for office “may be tempted to bargain with a wealthy donor to exercise his or her power in office for the benefit of the donor in return for financial assistance with the election campaign”.
Secondly, donations can buy increased access to politicians, such as the case where Chinese billionaire real estate developer Huang Xiangmo was given a meeting with Bill Shorten in 2015 due to his considerable donations.
Donors can also impose penalties on parties reliant on private campaign funding if the recipient does not govern in the donor’s favour.
This form of corruption is called clientelism, which the High Country considered a “more subtle kind of corruption”, which is harder to prove.
