"Increasingly tyrannical and corrupt"... perhaps they were referring to the proposed misinformation bill, where anyone could be found guilty of misinformation, except the government. Don't worry, it was slammed to the sidelines by Human Rights Commissioner, Lorraine Finlay[1].
Or perhaps they were referring to encryption backdoors, or the pandemic response. Regarding the pandemic response, the state governments were more tyrannical than federal.
