oh Australians really like rules.

so when lockdowns come out we (especially in the west) just loved going into lockdown and dishing shit on those that flouted the rules. its a weird dichotomy that we're very easy going and freedom loving yet also love rules and enforcing them.

Yeah nah.

I will criticise the government and their laws, be skeptical, be very vocal about my privacy rights etc.

But when it comes to covid, the restrictions make sense, and I agree with the goal for which they are deployed to meet, which is reduce spread, hospitalisation, and death.

So do I like rules? No. Do I want to stop the spread? Yes. It's that simple.
