I'm going to give you an insight into future Australia under Labor, the Greens and the coalition—well, those that don't have a backbone, anyway. You will toil much longer for less and eventually for nothing, just like they did in the old Soviet Union under Joe Stalin. You will be confined to your suburb or country town, unable to move beyond its boundaries, because that will emit too much greenhouse gas. There will be no getting around it, because all of your biometric data will be used to keep you in check. May I suggest you don't put off that visit to the relatives overseas, even though our tanking dollar will make it an expensive exercise?

Say goodbye to your steak dinner and the Sunday lamb roast and prepare your taste buds for a diet of bugs and worms mixed with your feed-grade lentil mash. Forget about cash. How dare you even think to make a transaction that won't be monitored and need approval. Forget about the necessity of reliable, on-call energy. Like they do in Third World Africa and even in northern Queensland, you will buy your electricity ration ahead of time. Those smart meters you've installed will ensure you can only use it when the government lets you.

The same will apply to your fresh water and home or property ownership. Abandon that great Australian dream because, as Klaus Schwab tells us, you will own nothing and you'll be happy. You'll be happy because your government says so, and woe to the poor Aussie who dares to say they're not while under misinformation laws. Welcome to the future, Australia, coming much sooner than you think, courtesy of your own government—unless, of course, you're super-rich.
