The app for independent voices
If you still need an ‘in your face’ demonstration that ALL GOVERNMENT of any political persuasion (and those they serve) is the enemy and ALL legacy media of any political persuasion is their willing and obedient accomplice, I give you Australia’s leader of the (‘conservative’) opposition giving an interview to a ‘journalist’ in Australia’s ‘leading conservative news channel’.
Here is the full exchange, including the initial question from the ‘journalist’, which is not shown in the video:
LAURA JAYES (‘journalist’):
We’ve seen the war also foment tension online. We saw the terror threat raised to Probable yesterday. But there are multiple fronts now.
One of those fronts that I found most interesting has come out of Covid.
There’s the conspiracy theorists, the anti-vaxxers, who are finding support in dark corners of the internet.
What does this say to you about – and I know we can all be perfect in hindsight, Covid was unprecedented – but what does it say to you about government overreach, and government, essentially, controlling people’s lives and the effects that that can have?
PETER DUTTON (‘Conservative Opposition Leader’):
Well Laura, there’s no doubt for when you speak to friends and family in Victoria, for example, there is a long tail and a huge mental impact on young people, in particular young girls.
The talk of massive increases in relation to mental health needs, etc., and many families tie that back to the very significant heavy hand of Daniel Andrews with the lockdowns in Victoria.
None of that, though, should give rise to the sort of conduct that you’re referring to.
I would say to anybody in our community, whether it’s within your friendship group, your family group, the work group, whatever it might be, where you see somebody’s behaviour changing, regardless of their motivation, or if they’ve changed radically their thoughts about society and government, etc., you need to report that information to ASIO, or to the Australian Federal Police as a matter of urgency.
The Director-General of ASIO needs to be taken seriously when he gives his words of advice yesterday.
ASIO is Australia’s domestic spy agency.
