Comrades,
After 107 days, yesterday was hailed as "Freedom Day!" in NSW by the new unelected Tory State Govt. Head Honcho. The Ruby Princess purposely shied away from such a phrase on public health advice, but the new Kid Premier is having none of that, oh no siree, it's ScoMo's famous "snap back" all over again and business as usual, "you deserve back-to-normal" with the State Govt. Dept. of Propaganda releasing a fine public image of the upturned arse of our freshly minted Great & Glorious Leader doing things...
Freedom to go to the pub is great news for those with no job, living on the poverty line, the sick, the crippled or the hundreds of thousands of good denizens of NSW who simply couldn't afford a beer even if they wanted one. Such fabulous news. Freedom used to be described as not something you are free to do, but something you are free from - such as hunger & tyranny, but that appears to be a very archaic idea now in conservative circles, concerned only, as they are, with the "boom times" that are assuredly coming. And despite, or perhaps because of, Rooting Dom making a fool of himself first up, and adopting the Bonking Boris policy of "let 'er rip and watch the bodies pile high!", still we have very little to no idea in which direction we travel in times of plague.
