I’m also here, and quite concerned. I’ve seen how quickly a country can erode (Syria, Ukraine, Hong Kong) and am questioning the future of this country.

  What do you mean by "country erode"?

    From the context I think he meant “turn into a shithole.”

    Probably general stability and rise of authoritarianism.

      How's that Ukraine(a country from that list) has authoritarianism on rise? Any verifiable metrics to prove it?

        Maybe GP refers Crimea, but it seems that it's not good to apply the case for Australia.

  I guess I don't really follow the reasoning with the examples. Syria has always been a somewhat dangerous place. Ukraine got invaded by Russia. Hong Kong was taken from China by the British, became it's own nation and is currently being ... taken back against its own will in a sense. Not that it couldn't happen. But Australia is not really a place I would imagine a violent uprising happening compared to most other places. I think we have too much social cohesion, even between those who are politically opposed.
