Problem is, there is nothing for us to rebel against at this exact moment. I am tired of being told to resist. I resisted while there was something tangible to resist, in that I refused the jab, refused the masks, refused the tests and refused the lockdown. But that simply meant I was alone. ALL the shops, ALL the medicos, ALL the clubs, everyone else complied. So while others were allowed to shop and sit in restaurants or see health professionals, I was not. That is all over for now, but do I expect Australians to resist next time? On past evidence, no, I don't.

The French solution requires humour and spirit and intelligence, and a sense of togetherness, of shared purpose, which are features of a strong and proud culture such as France. In Australia, we no longer have a strong and proud culture. So, yes, we already have the country we deserve, and we deserve it because we allowed our pride in this wondrous land to be destroyed.

I wish I could find some simple way to focus energies. But I cannot even keep myself engaged.

Viva La France. I wish the same would happen here. People weren’t interested in hearing about Dr Phillip Altman who ran at our local election. They just turn away from any talk of jab injuries. As I drive around and see more and more surveillance surreptitiously appearing, I wonder what happened to the Sydney and the Australia I grew up in. What will be the thing that gets them angry enough to protest? The French have always been good at pushing back.
