People would move on if there was real accountability and until there is the spectre remains.
Personally I think we need to bring back the guillotine, but I’d settle for life in max security prison. And not just 1 or 2 mid-level bureaucrats - EVERY FUCKING ONE OF THEM. From the PM down to the Premiers down to the bootlickers in State Health Departments, the Cops, the Scientists, the Media, the lying cunts at the TGA, AHPRA, Nurses Unions, Teachers Unions, the paid social media bots - there would be 25,000+ people in this country who need to face justice for the shit that they did.
The only thing that has been learned is what level of tyranny Australians will put up with the next time these bastards want to control people. There have been zero lessons in good governance, in handling online discourse, in policing, in public health policy, in education etc. - none of them have improved an iota and have all to varying degrees gone backwards during and since Covid.
That’s what we can change. Putting every one of them in front of a jury of their peers, giving a full accounting of what these people did, and then holding them fully accountable for their actions. No more of this “we didn’t know at the time” or “I was just following orders” horseshit, no more excuses, consequences.
Without consequences this will merely be a small first step for worse action in future, such is the nature of power.
