    I really wish people would freak out over our police state - mass surveillance, attacks on encryption, prosecuting people who embarrass governments -- like even 10% of how much they freak out over China's police state.

        If it helps any, I’m also quietly and surely freaking out about the state of things. Work for the dole is slavery, possibly worse than serfdom - it’s less easy to find someone to blame. It’s systemic and soul destroying. Why would a government destroy their own people? #auspol

        It’s not a wage the worker can negotiate, it’s not a wage that meets award rates. This is not a wage, it is state sanctioned slavery. A wage has a minimum set or in some cases agreed to rate. This is not negotiable and all you get is less than acceptable. #RaiseTheRate #auspol

        What a sad state of affairs it is when this is obvious and those who could change it refuse to do so. People are not only a commodity, they are also easily led into destruction of what they can separate as ‘the other’. Civil society should always aim to address this. Ugh!

        I am suitably freaked out @BernardKeane! Australian's democratic and civil rights have been eroded exponentially since 2011. Beyond Orwellian. And few care.

        Guess this is due to the ignorance of the facts or the ill-informed due to Murdoch Media Until we can hv an ethical, honest media again, the busy,& disconnected, will always be ignorant of the truth in politics

        The China response is almost entirely racist, if the LNP proposed that system tomorrow it would get wide spread domestic support and possibly bipartisan support from Labor #auspol
