Death of the Lucky Country

Summary

The article expresses deep disillusionment with Australia's current state, viewing the deportation of a high-profile athlete as emblematic of the country's descent from a liberal democracy into a corporate-controlled, authoritarian regime.

Abstract

The author of the article "Death of the Lucky Country" vehemently criticizes Australia's decision to deport world-renowned athlete Novak Djokovic, framing it as a symbolic act that signifies the nation's transformation into a puppet state for global corporate interests. The piece reflects on Australia's history of exploitation and subjugation, from its origins as a British penal colony to its present-day treatment of indigenous populations and the erosion of democratic principles. It argues that the country's response to the pandemic has been a facade for stripping away economic independence, civil liberties, and justice, leading to a loss of national identity and the emergence of a society governed by fear, coercion, and the enrichment of the elite.

Opinions

The Federal Court's ruling to deport Djokovic is seen as a betrayal of Australia's democratic values and an indication of a compromised judiciary.
The author feels a sense of personal embarrassment and shame for being associated with a country that suppresses rational dissent and imposes a narrative of control and profit.
There is a perception that Australia's wealth has been siphoned off by foreign interests at the expense of its people and indigenous communities.
The article suggests that Australia's pandemic response is a pretext for advancing a fascist corporate agenda, prioritizing the interests of the ultra-wealthy over public health.
The author predicts that those with the means will flee Australia due to the loss of hope in the face of systemic corruption and the absence of an independent judiciary.
The piece mourns the decline of Australia from a once self-sufficient and robust nation to a subservient state, marking the end of the 'lucky country' dream.

Death of the Lucky Country

The ruling by the Federal Court of Australia to deport the world’s fittest, most successful athlete as a potential health risk to the public, is the final foolish nail in the coffin of what was once the thriving liberal democracy of Australia, and is now the corrupted lackey of global corporate elites. I am embarrassed and ashamed to be part of a country that imprisons and then deports people for having informed rational views on the runaway corruption that is taking place under the ‘Reichstag burning’ guise of a hocus pocus pandemic. I am embarrassed and ashamed to have to live subjugated and intimidated by a bullying political hegemony that endlessly harasses and coerces its lab rat citizenry into conforming to a fantasy narrative based on nothing more than lies and profiteering. Australia has devolved not so much into the banana republic envisioned by ex-Prime Minister Paul Keating, but rather a big pharma republic run by corrupted thugs prosecuting a fascist corporate agenda of thuggery and theft.

That Australia has become the ugly talisman for the most extreme of global corporate fascist interests is devastating but, when you consider the country’s miserable history, hardly surprising. The place has been infested with overseas economic interests from its ignominious inception as a plundering British penal colony back in 1788. Its wealth and resources have poured liberally out of the country for 240 years. This theft has been contingent on destroying and dispossessing the First Nations people of Australia, driving them into unimaginable subjugation while debasing and degrading their extraordinary culture. This is a legacy of tyrannical racism that still reverberates powerfully through the psyche of the nation and remains utterly unresolved. Australian culture has always had its ugly, violent underbelly, which includes a psychotic propensity to scapegoat vulnerable minorities.

But at least in the past the country had the triumph of distance to drive local production and help engineer a robust degree of economic independence and self-sufficiency. Now however, manufacturing has been shut down and local businesses have either already gone belly up or are in the process of being driven into bankruptcy under the despicable ruse of protecting people from some trumped up horse shit of a pandemic. This is all about money. This is all about taking money out of your pocket and putting it in the coffers of the already super-rich. The obscenely rich mother fuckers running the global media, pharmaceutical, tech, food and chemical companies — running the world effectively — have declared war on humanity and Australia is their captive bitch.

Many people living down under have been hoping that legal challenges to mandatory vaccinations and other disgraceful ruses to enforce tyranny and terror onto the populous, would, as they made their painfully slow way from the in-bred sand-pit politicking of regional state legislation up to the Federal arena, eventually receive a fair and balanced hearing based on the rule of constitutional law. The decision to deport Djokovic today quashes that hope. The full bench of the Federal court have fallen in line with the fake narrative of the captured and broken political system of the country. There is no independent judiciary. The vile criminals who have taken over the asylum have won. It makes me ashamed to live in a land where the justice system has, like the political system, become an agent of oppression. Australia is broken beyond repair and those with any semblance of reality that live here know it. Expect a mass exodus by those fortunate enough to hold citizenship with another nation. The dream of the lucky country is over, replaced by the sycophantic corruption of the lackey country.
