As someone who was born and grew up in a totalitarian country, I hope I am not going to underestimate your risks but I would say that some bad law now and then does not mean you are on the slippery slope to a totalitarian government. It just means that we live in an imperfect world. I admit that I do not know much about Australia, but AFAIK you are not on a strategically important location right next to a much more powerful aggressive neighbor, there is no major economic crisis (think "we cannot get enough food" type, not "we can afford slightly fewer iPhones" type)... do you really have enough reason to think about moving to another country? Did any rich and independent country in history just "slipp" to totalitarianism? I am not saying you should not be cautious... but this feels out of proportion. Just my $0.02.
