Australia/Deep state

Australia/Deep state (Deep state)
Abbreviation	AU/DS
Headquarters	Australia?, London?
The Australian deep state may be closely controlled from London/Washington, and used as a testground for emerging social control legislation.

The Australian deep state is not yet well documented here. Although nominally independent from London, in 1975 The UK and US deep states collaborated to carry out a clandestine coup d'etat against Gough Whitlam (which was not well understood at the time). It marches in lock step with The Deep State on topics such as the "war on terror" and the COVID-19/Lockdown.

History

Sir John Kerr, who on the CIA's orders invoked "reserve powers" and dismissed the Australian Prime minister

Gough Whitlam became Prime Minister of Australia on 5 December 1972 and carried out policies unwelcome to the UK and the USA. Some of his ministers publicly criticised the Vietnam War, condemning the US indiscriminate bombing of towns, civilian targets and dense population centres as corrupt and barbaric. Whitlam also expressed his unhappiness about the Pine Gap spy station in the middle of Australia, spying on everyone including civilians, government and military. In 1974, the White House made 'coupmaster' Marshall Green the US ambassador to Australia. In 1975, a clandestine coup d'etat removed Whitlam from power.

2020s

Unlimited spying on citizenry

Full article: Australia/Universal surveillance

After a 2015 bill claimed that the government had rights to carry out very broad warrantless mass surveillance of electronic media, including banning warrant canaries. The powers claimed were so broad that they have been called "nearly unlimited", but efforts continue to expand their scope and use more resources to track and monitor citizens. In December 2018, it passed laws which claim the right to compel both "local and international providers — including overseas communication giants such as Facebook and WhatsApp — to remove electronic protections, conceal covert operations by government agencies, and help with access to devices or services."

COVID-19/Lockdown

{{FA>COVID-19/Lockdown}} Although reporting relatively few deaths due to COVID-19, Australia took a decidedly extremist line during the COVID panic of 2020, enforcing strict COVID lockdown measures and drastically curtailing freedom of speech as well as freedom of movement.
