I find it worrying just how far their government has taken surveillance and police violence especially when in some respects Australia's laws are more draconian and overreaching but simply not as fervently enforced as in the states.

I hope that our stronger democratic institutions and process protects us from following in their footsteps but I really worry about what the typical Australians priorities are. I find it unbelievable how popular one nation is given the current US government being a living breathing example of what a militantly anti immigration government looks like.
