It's clear the government is on the back foot over the lockdown. The protests over the weekend made it look as though they were the cause of the lockdown relaxation. This is good, and we need more of the same, especially in Victoria, where the most extreme measures still apply. The restrictions on socialising, normal family life, work, and even going to church, are ridiculous. The solution is to take no notice of them and protests are a great way of rubbing it in. If this is done on a massive scale, governments will think twice about doing this kind of thing again. Governments in the West are keen to use any excuse to engage in social engineering and extra control. They think Coronavirus is a great pretext. What not to do. The main argument being used by governments ruling by decree is to declare all opponents of the lockdown to be extremists with views most people don't share. This was always going to be their strategy but there's no need for us to play the game. We

We were never told about the change. When did the Federal Government (several State Governments are also involved) change its policy from "Flatten the Curve" to "Eradication"? When the lockdown started we were told it was merely for flattening the curve, preventing a sudden rise in hospitalisations to free up our health system. In fact, the hospital system has never been overloaded.  Now we are told (today) that even 18 new cases a day of (healthy) people testing positive is too many to stop the lockdown. Plainly the virus is less of a burden on the health system by the day. What's the problem? Mission accomplished, why are people waiting for their freedoms to be given back? The government has changed its policy to one of complete "eradication" of Coronavirus. This means that the fear campaign and restrictions on society and its well-being will continue for the foreseeable future. "Eradication" will not happen, for all kinds of reasons. T
