Malcolm Roberts, Senator for Queensland, Australia, has posted on X, saying: "The UK clearly has 2-tiered policing."
Mr Roberts continued: "Only by voting wisely will prevent Australia from following the UK’s path - turning into a communist state."
Mr Roberts' full post:
Is the UK Sliding into Dystopia?
Watching the sad events currently underway in the United Kingdom, one might be forgiven for thinking we've descended into the dystopian world long foretold by classic literature. One Nation agrees with Milton - free circulation of ideas is essential to moral and intellectual growth. To attempt to preclude falsehoods underestimates the power of truth.
Originally intended to prevent incitement to violence, hate speech laws have now devolved to the point where criticising the government has become a criminal offense, leading to the imprisonment of citizens in the UK. At the same time, the UK Government is failing to ensure the safety of its own streets. The UK clearly has 2-tiered policing.
As we face the next manufactured social or medical crises, there's no doubt that Australia's law enforcement will commit the same abuses of civil rights that we're currently witnessing in the UK.
Only by voting wisely will prevent Australia from following the UK’s path - turning into a communist state.
To conclude, let me be clear: there is no justification for violence from either side of a protest. Equally, the actions of a few should not result in the stripping away of rights from the many.
