Description
During COVID, the land ‘down under’ transformed into the land of the ‘lockdown.’
In his book, ‘Lockdown Australia’, Dave Ives gives an on-the-ground, eyewitness account of the madness that took place in Australia during COVID.
‘Lockdown Australia’ is a must read for anyone interested in finding out how crazy things got in Australia during COVID. Find out how the political overlords, and their eager henchmen – with the intensity of a rugby grand final match - picked up the ‘tyranny football’ and ran for the goal line. They almost made it.
You see, the politicians pulled off an amazing trick, a con – impose tyranny but convince almost everyone that it’s not. How did they do it? Easy, they announced, ‘It’s for the good of the people.’ That clause made it all ‘OK.’
Fortunately, the overlords fumbled the ball, overplayed their hand, and many people are waking up to the reality of the COVID madness. People are talking, sharing their stories, finding out the truth. Dissenting voices abound and we need to listen and learn making sure the ‘con’ is never repeated. Dave Ives is one of those voices.
If Australia falls into the ‘tyranny hole’ again, we may not get out. And the days of ‘She’ll be right mate!’ will be gone – maybe forever.

This is a short story about seeing through the madness, while being "locked down" in Australia, trying to get home to the US.
As an Australian living in Australia, I can attest to the authenticity of events and attitudes of the masses.
I applaud the courage and determination to not be swayed from one's morals and beliefs.
I cannot understand how a wife and mother of US born citizens isn't granted entrance back into the country, but all these celebs (who probably aren't vaxxed either) get free rein 🤷
Oh wait, I think I know.... 💲💲💲

This book was an eye opener, as someone who didn’t pander to any of the Covid scamdemic it was one to read for me. Absolute tyranny reined during that time and I for one didn’t bow to it. The UK it seems though wasn’t half as tyrannical than Australia! I thoroughly enjoyed this expose on the Government’s handling of its people during the pandemic, plenty of data in here to show it was unwarranted; a sheer disgrace and I think everyone should read this book.

This book intrigued me and I wanted to know more given that during this time I was desperate to go back to Australia for my dying father. I also wanted to understand the difference between UK and Australian treatments - a lot was very similar and others a lot more draconian and lasting longer. What I would have really liked was more about the Australian impacts and less about getting a US green card. I didnt realise that was also being covered.
But all in all so glad that I read this book. I may not agree with everything but open for ideas.
