Sad situation. Aleksa and Alex putting out excellent content as usual. Glad they’re covering it
That whole situation
…is like something you’d expect from a dictatorship. Are we the bad guys, actually?
The galling thing from an onlooker’s perspective is that the Australian government can have the case evidence disappeared for trial purposes but will probably go on to make legislation and policy reforms on the basis of that same evidence being brought to light.
The state ain’t nothin but a thug.
True ANZAC spirit
Please elaborate?
In WWI, Australia and New Zealand had their own separate part of the British army called ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) that was reported to have shown true courage, endurance, and ingenuity while maintaining an irreverent attitude despite their first campaign being the horribly mismanaged and disastrous (by British commanders) Gallipoli campaign. Basically similar to this guy’s situation the ANZACs were giving their lives in wars that weren’t really their fight in order to appease imperialist countries they had ties to and still showed themselves to be really great people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anzac_spirit
