Today, 2 September 2020, is a day of shame for the State of Victoria and, by implication, for Australia.

In the early hours of this morning, the Upper House of the Victorian Parliament voted to extend the Labor Government’s State of Emergency legislation for another six months. The vote was 20-19 and the majority was only possible because a ‘Green’ politician, an ‘Animal justice Party’ politician and a ‘Reason Party’ (formerly called the ‘Sex Party’) politician sided with the left-wing Labor members of the House.

This legislation has been in force for six months already. I have previously warned in this blog that the basic elements of our freedoms are being stripped from us with very few voices raised in protest. I warned that such legislation can have serious consequences but I am sure that most people who read these portents of doom said to themselves that Guy is going overboard again with hysterical over-exaggeration.

Later today, using their powers under this existing ’emergency’ legislation, two male Victorian police officers entered the home of a woman WITHOUT a search warrant. One was much taller and larger than the woman. It happens that she is pregnant and was about to leave home for an ultrasound. The officers HANDCUFFED her hands behind her back in front of her young children before taking her away. This event was shown on television this evening.

Her ‘crime’ is that she posted a message on Facebook saying that she wanted to organise a rally to protest against this legislation. She had not yet protested but simply said that she would like to do this. But, apparently, you can now be arrested for expressing thoughts that the government doesn’t like.

You may have thought that I was exaggerating in earlier comments. But this is now a reality in the police state that is Victoria. Australians were once horrified by stories of the Gestapo and KGB arresting people for no apparent reason. Thousands of our men and women went to war because of these atrocities and died for a concept called ‘freedom.’ This year, because of this legislation, no one celebrated ANZAC Day publicly and barely a whimper of protest was voiced. Only a few people will be concerned about this woman’s plight. The Australia I was born in is fast disappearing.

I want to follow the lead of the patriot in the squashed Warsaw uprising in Poland in 1944 who wrote a book entitled ‘Rather Die Fighting.’
