It is fucking crazy, you are right in that regard and the response of the public SHOULD BE OUTRAGE!
Having said that, there are some people standing up. Like look at this journalist that got arrested for being a journalist! lol

It is important however to make the distinction between each state's laws and lockdowns. This is happening in the state of Victoria.
I am in Western Australia - over here we've as much freedoms as before the entire Covid-19 debacle. The premier has locked down the borders and mining companies are taking the West Aussie government to court for this as well (the true face of mining comes out).
Here's a protest song I wrote in response to seeing the first video of the pregnant woman having her constitutional rights revoked via State of Emergency powers.

Unfortunately most Australians will likely take this sitting down. A very comfortable people that had little reason to stand for much in the past. I've been disheartened many times by attempts as an activist to get people moving for their own rights.
Possibly this time will be different, but possibly not. The activists are seen as radicals. Freedoms we stood up for before are now considered illegal.
Ya, it's a warped messed up world and it's full on crazy in Australia , or some parts, as well as other countries stepping up their tyranny game as well. It will spread as crazy tends to do that :P
