That's not the case at all.
You lot were grateful for your govt's response to covid....and seem to have an "oh well" attitude towards personal liberty.
There are no similarities between us. You lot? Do you identify with demoncrats? Australia is a diverse nation, there are liberals, labour, gun owners, anti gun lobbies, etc. You mean left, and farther left, correct? No, I don't.

During several visit to OZ, some of those rather extensive, most of the Australians I have met and worked with have been polite and gracious folks who take their roles seriously and have tried to produce results of quality. For the most part they have been honest with themselves, and others, about most professional and government matters.
Those qualities do not at all seem present in the Australians posting here on these issues. The lot in this thread seem of a very different sort, and credibility is sadly lacking.
In many conversations over there, and some with Australians here and during activities in other parts of the world, candid discussion of our relative social, political and governmental situations has given the strong impression that love of individual freedoms and the freedom of citizens in general does not burn nearly as as strongly in them as it does in the US. For the most part they seem to much more willing to bow to manipulative politicians and intrusive government actions. YMMV. So you do like Biden. Given the nature and breadth of the issue, your question on Biden seems odd - but then, you did not insert a question mark - or has your government cancelled such usage? Do I like Biden? Try as I might, (and have seen his actions since he was a teen) there seems nothing significant about the fellow that could be likeable. And, as Pres, he is doing a bunch to strongly dislike. So, what do you think? Not everyone here is as comfortable with democracy as you seem to be. How much would you really let the government get away with, and supported by opposing opinions of the rights and freedoms of others? How on earth would you have any secure knowledge about the degree to which others here have "comfort" with democracy. Get real there Queensland mind reader. Your second sentence does end with a question mark, but the content does not make sense - does not form an answerable question. Oh no, don't tell me you are still in HS studying grammar and syntax. Come on man, I don't really believe that you are as stupid as you try and make out to be but more so dishonest by avoiding truthful conversation, you know, like you do in all those religious threads. So whereabouts in Australia did you visit? Your earlier response was astonishingly vague. Did you actually visit Australia?
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

Nothing personal. But Ignorance really is bliss? There is little difference in the political parties in Oceania. The Liberals are nothing like the Greens. Each party looks after its own interests and constituents first and foremost and the general public socond. But you are right in a way, there are no good options. Australia is not unique in that regard. Look at the state of your own nation.

Are you guys allowed to have spent cases or is that considered paraphernalia? Serious question.

Farmers can still have them but not off the farm. Lever, pump, bolt, straight pull, etc, are legal. As are hanguns, semi autos, revolvers, etc, but you need to be a club member.

Now, please be quiet, Wow you actually answered a question, along with the usual additional accusatory verbage. I was wondering what you considered as "extensive". Tourists always have a very narrow slant on things, mind you there's a whole lot I haven't yet seen here either.
