There just isn't any way something like that could happen here.

I watched an interesting movie on the topic.

Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002)

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0252444/
That was a good movie.
I watched Rabbit Proof Fence with my girls when they were teens. It's a good history movie.

I recently watched The Tracker. Not as good a movie as Rabbit Proof Fence but a a look back at historical Australian perspective.

Contact is really interesting. It's a documentary that has a cool story and video / pictures of the first interactions with whites and a group of aboriginies (1964). There are some interviews with the younger ones later as adults telling their side of the events.

Hundred arrested / fined during lockdown protests.

Australia seems to be locking down tight for a long time to try and stop Covid, not sure if it’s working. I understand a lot of Aussies are overseas and arnt allowed back.

From what I've seen the rates of the disease are low over there, but living in a prison camp isn't a life and like every other isolated place in the world, disease will hit them hard if and when they ever open up.

This is what happens with no Constitution. Now the question is, at what point do we refuse to allow our government to continue to usurp our Constitution? We are less than one step away from the exact same tyranny.

Having the Constitution means nothing, what matters is how are you going to protect and enforce your unalienable rights. It looks to be time for our Australian friends to follow the lead of our founding fathers. Sadly, it looks to be that time for us in the US too.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
