Given that Australia closes its borders and doesn't even allow its citizens to come back can we compare it to a dictatorship like NK? Combined the strict border controls with the rising concerns over press freedom by the Right to Know coalition – an organization advocating for information access – after Australian federal police raided the national broadcaster ABC and a News Corp journalist’s home earlier this year over two stories that were based on leaked classified information.
The media outlets are also calling for improved protections for public sector whistle-blowers – who have been charged for leaking information to the press – as well as an improved freedom of information regime and defamation law reform.
This seems to be common now, journalists being threatened with law suits and social media censorship. What has Australia really become and what is the governments end game?
At least for the time being your media is better than most of the mainstream media in the states. They seem to tell the truth so the government acts upon them. Whereas in the states, the government owns the mainstream media behind the scenes mostly. Australians knows China is wanting to influence their country just as they influence the United States so no you're not North Korea there isn't one man you'd have to kill to make the dominos fall but rather they want you to become like China.
