Australia has been implementing re-education policies since the gun ban. There’s a definite demarcation in social and political views at about the age of 35-years-old. Those in the younger age group seem to have little issue with government mandates and controls. They see it in their best interest. There are exceptions, of course, but overall that was my impression talking to people and what I saw in their media while there.

Now that they’ve been faced with a crisis, perhaps this will give some of the younger people a little cautionary perspective on trusting government entirely. ALL people in elective offices are there for one primary reason - they crave authority. Hopefully they’re learning a lesson from this.
