PROTEST IN MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA SATURDAY NOVEMBER 27TH, 2021...
(COMMENT AND ANALYIS ON AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS)
The federal government in Australia, the Liberal-National coalition of Liberal Party Prime Minister Scott Morrison and National Party Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce, was clearly complicit in the coercion to vaccinate Australians.
Mr. Morrison, along with other prominent Liberals including Treasurer Senator Josh Frydenberg, spread the "gospel" of "vaccination will make you free".
In recent weeks though Morrison, considered a "Conservative" and "Christian" linked to the mega-church Hillsong based in Sydney, is changing his narrative criticizing restrictive proposals like the one being advanced by Victoria Labor Party Premier Dan Andrews to give him new "pandemic powers".
And at this week's sitting of Parliament in Canberra, the government is moving "religious freedom" legislation that would enable religious groups to stand by their convictions and not hire gay employees.
