And I think something happened.

I actually don't think it would happen again in Australia.

I think what's happened, ironically, because of the deceit and the manipulation of the media by the government and the misuse of public so-called experts, I think what the government has done, tragically, is actually break public faith in vaccines.

And I think we're going to see a terrible rise in things like measles, mumps and rubella, which I think is a perfectly safe vaccine.

because people are scared away from vaccines because of the appalling way that the government handled the COVID-19 vaccines.

We were lied to.

There's no getting over that.

They had reservations from early on about AstraZeneca, and they pulled it off the market with barely an announcement.

And they also made it impossible for people to sue the drug companies that were responsible for making these dodgy vaccines.

And they effectively gave them a green light to continue operating with the kind of reckless disregard for public safety that they showed in the development of these vaccines in the first place.

It should never be allowed to happen again.

And I think...

What it showed, frankly, was the lie to the great Australian anti-authoritarian claim.

You know, we're not.

We're quite meek.

We rolled over and let the cops and the military tickle our tummy.

I know.

To be honest with you, on an international basis, it's very embarrassing.

You're a laughingstock.

I mean, I have American friends who constantly cite to me what happened in Victoria under Dan Andrews' premiership.
