You do not have our consent

Written by Fiona Bluff on Scomo's (Australian Prime Minister) FB page.

This is an open letter to Australian politicians who have allowed our country to become a place I no longer recognise. But you have lost my consent. In fact, I don’t remember you ever asking.

So let me be clear. You DO NOT have my consent to crush our way of life. To criminalise me for going further than 5 kilometres from my home. To set up police checkpoints on our roads - roads that I paid for, when I used to be allowed to work, when I used to be allowed to leave my home without explaining myself to someone in uniform.

You DO NOT have my consent to keep me from my family. To tell me “we are all in this together” while forcing us to stay apart. To lecture me about the morality of seeing people I love or checking in on a neighbour I pass at the shops. To make me “register” to see a friend. What sort of nightmare are you creating?

Who are you to tell me it is “good” to obey you, and “bad” to defy you? To come onto my screen daily and lecture me on my “behaviour”. To position a police officer behind you every time you speak. To hide behind public health officials. To threaten me with jail if I don’t listen. To fly police helicopters over my neighbourhood. To put the “riot” squad and the military on our streets (for our own good, of course). Who are you to decide what is “good” and “bad”, and to enforce your new world order with weapons?

The only type of “bad” I recognise is the powerful forcing the weak to do something against their will.

You DO NOT have my consent to confiscate my right to protest. To paint those who make their voices heard as bad people. To pretend they punch horses. To use the dark tools of propaganda. To tell us they are criminals. What are you really scared of?

This is a hostage situation, dressed in the language of public health. You have created a nasty police state, a dystopian nightmare, an ex-democracy, a petty dictatorship. You are frightened of your own people, and you don’t want them to be heard. You need the media to serve up its daily offering of fear porn. Who knew that you guys would work so well together?

None of you have lost a dollar, of course. None of you have volunteered to stop drawing a salary, to accept $320 disaster payment instead of making a living. You are the worst type of hypocrites, lecturing on the morality of a pain you do not share.

And now you encourage us to call the police on each other? To be a nation of dobbers. To distrust our neighbours. How deep are the scars you are creating?

You DO NOT have my consent to trap me in this country. To make me seek an “exemption” to leave. To decide where I must live my life. Is there any clearer sign that you have lost the consent of the governed than to force them to stay?

How dare you masquerade as our saviours. Our behavioural masters. Our moral enforcers. Our life extenders. I do not want your “protection”.

You have forgotten what you are. ‘Public servants’. Think about those words. Don’t twist them. Why don’t you let us be the judge of our own safety? Let those who wish to hide, hide? How dare you make these decisions on my behalf. You are destroying our lives in order to save them.

You are no longer ‘public servants’. Instead, you demand the public’s obedience down the barrel of a gun. How have you become convinced that using force to prevent people from moving freely is anything other than criminal?

You are destroying everything I love about this country: our bravery in the face of danger, solidarity between neighbours, the strength to muddle on, the freedom to come and go as we please.

Let’s be clear: there are many who despise you. These are the ones you are trying to silence. These are the ones you are afraid of. They are growing in number and they are enraged by your conduct.

That's the thing. They're so disconnected from the People, and so convinced of their own ability to hold on to power, and their ability to steal elections, they no longer give a flying F- what the People want. They simply do. Not. Care. And they will not care, because as long as they can get by with it, they will do so. And we--the People--have allowed it to happen. Complacently.

But, as a former soldier and a former corrections officer, I am most disappointed in the sheep-like obedience of the police and military. They, of all people, should have had the personal courage to say, No. To Step out of formation. To refuse to follow illegal orders. To stand up for their family, friends and neighbors. To uphold whatever Constitution in whatever country they are from. I am sickened, deep in my gut, to the point of nausea, every time I see a soldier blindly follow the orders of politicians, who have never served, who do not deserve our respect, every time they tell them to obey. I hope they are sick, too. I hope they can't look at their own face in the mirror, or sleep at night. I served with Aussie and NZ soldiers in Afghanistan, and they had my upmost respect. I have worked closely with American police officers, and they had my respect. No longer. I hope you are sick with your betrayal. I hope you are on your knees at night begging forgiveness of a God you have failed, and a people you have abandoned. I hope you you wake up. Because if you don't, you no longer have the respect of the People whom you swore to protect and serve. And if you no longer have our respect.....
