Australian here.
When I was a kid some 30 years ago everyone wanted to go to America. It was seen as this amazing society where you could do anything, be anything, see anything!
It’s not that way anymore.
Now it’s seen as a dangerous place, where you have to take measures like in this article to protect yourself.
Trump really has destroyed your country’s reputation. It’s incredible.
We have pretty much the same policies as the USA when it comes to digital rights, including border force being able to search your devices upon entry.
Yeah we are going down the same path unfortunately.
I think we will be pretty fucking close once we have PM Potato
