Australia barely protests about anything, and when a group of passionate people finally standup for something they believe in, they generally are ridiculed. Politicians squash any kind of dissent, even passing laws restricting protests. This isnt about antivax/anti-lockdown protests either, im talking about climate change, social inequality, workers rights etc. Australia is a largely apathetic country, complacent because of their own wealth and removal from the international community. But the situation is going to turn quite negatively for Australia, its becoming progressively worse because nobody actually believes in anything fundamental. We keep installing savvy businessmen politicians rather than people with a longterm vision for the country. The result is exacerbating social problems. It makes you think where the countries priorities are when homelessness in Melbourne has gotten terribly worse in the past 7 years. People rather maximise their gains on the property market, borrowing exorbitant amounts of money to buy property they cant really afford, meanwhile devaluing the currency. The result is the social fabric of a nation disintegrating.
