Hello everyone,
This is an important event that has occurred and I would like us all to discuss it. It has nothing to do with reefing, but it is something that will impact all of us.
This country is getting worse and worse by the day. It is getting pulled apart piece by piece. I was going to go on about how corruption is destroying the country, but I came to a realisation... Corruption is actions done in secret behind closed doors to benefit the corrupt individual(s). It is done in secret... secret. What is happening now can't really be considered corruption can it? It is not actually done in secret. They are telling you, to your face. They are telling you they are taking your freedom away. They are telling you the reasons why they do things such as destroy the NBN. They are even telling you about bullshit scholarships. All you need to do is listen, forget, and go back to being a fucking drone.
They are using terrorism threats to scare us into obedience. They are using the media to prevent us from knowing important things and pushing their own agenda. They are lying to us. They are controlling and manipulating us. They are profiting off of us.
Oh, and in case you thought that there will be whistleblowers to keep them on their toes, you would be wrong. Now they can simply jail the whistleblower for speaking out against abuse of power.

I don't know what to do. I don't know what we should all do. But there is one thing I do know, and that is people can only be pushed so far. Once they get pushed too far, they snap. I want us all to unite and make them remember that we are the ones holding the power. We seem to have forgotten that. I don't know how Australians will go about doing that, but getting angry and showing an emotion towards the state of things is a start.

Of course, by "our" he does not mean you and me. He means those who control you and me. He means the powerful. He means the politicians. The internet is our only resource we have to get unfiltered information and to actually know what is going on in the world. They are going all out to put a stop to that. They want to know what you look at, when you look at it, who you called, how long you spoke for, etc.The internet poses one of the greatest threats to our existence - Palmer United Party Senator Glen Lazarus

He is telling us he is taking away our freedom as though it is nothing.Regrettably, for some time to come, Australians will have to endure more security than we're used to, and more inconvenience than we'd like. Regrettably, for some time to come, the delicate balance between freedom and security may have to shift. After all, the most basic freedom of all is the freedom to walk the streets unharmed and to sleep safe in our beds at night. - Tony Abbott
