Today on The Dossier Podcast, we had a great chat with Adam Creighton, the Washington correspondent for The Australian. Adam has written for The Wall Street Journal and The Economist, and he earned his Masters in economics from the University of Oxford. Adam helped us break down the current situation in his home country, detailing some myths and realities of Aussie culture, and making sense of the country’s embrace of endless lockdowns and “Zero COVID” fanaticism. Enjoy!

As much as it pains me to see what is happening in Australia, I can't help but be reminded what they did years ago. The citizens gave up their guns in the name of safety and security. No wonder, as Adam says, they are compliant. They gave up their guns and they complied with each and every lockdown. By the third or fourth on the government got the message that this is OK. This is what they want. I'm sorry for Australians, but this is what they voted for, and they got it.
Couldn’t agree more! The most complacent society I’ve ever seen. Very spoiled and naive. Welcome to the real world!
The libtard left are unarmed and vaccinated as usual!
They are reverting back to a prison colony.
Viruses on the rise in the winter months? Who'd a thunk it?
The Vaccines are deadly Aussies are being forced by the government to take this killshot the Aussie you interviewed needs to do more research in what is in the Vaccine it is not safe at all. https://www.brighteon.com/dc43ea4a-e64b-42a4-8737-1efb436751b5
Interesting the first I've heard mention of the normal deaths that take place every single day, which BTW are around 164,000 worldwide from all causes, a fact of Life of you will...
A wise man, not a politician clearly, said early on during this fiasco "do not go into a lockdown, if you don't know how to end it!!!!!".
Proving to be prophetic as ignorant politicians continue to drag their people back into unscientific, useless, damaging draconian lockdowns, that have decimated economies and peoples finances beyond repair.
They keep locking down?? They have seen it does not work. Why do they keep doing this? The definition of insanity is to keep doing something that doesn't work, hoping for a different outcome. Also NZ is in kiwi covid hysteria, as well. Total irrational hysteria.
The Australian culture is completely narcissistic and selfish. So it’s not surprising that they enjoy ‘punishing their subjects for any sign of individualistic ideology. I’ve lived in 5 counties on 4 continents and that includes Poland. Australia is the most dictatorial place I’ve ever seen!!!!
those polls are bullshit . they don't support the lockdowns . look at the protests in the street. the controlled media tells them that "everyone else supports it" to give the governments actions an air of legitimacy
Go breakinti a house in Carlton Australia and you see how many runs there are! Pray as you come face to fave with an Italian grandma dressed in black
Austrians took.the cash from gun buy backs ( unregistered guns and bought more guns, registered guns! So this guy is false in that! Actually now there are more guns than before the buy back many owned by immigrants! It's the fascist left that has propagated the myth that guns are illegal! Total bullshit! We have 4 legal guns in our house I including a semi auto German machine gun my grams bought back from the war. This BS has prevented a lot of the trusting folk to in liberal areas to buy baseball bats to defend against African home invasions when they could have the real thing!
