I live in Australia. Do you know how absolutely batshit ridiculous it would be for the government to even try to pull of something like that. Most of the country is rural. We have free elections. This is insane.

The best is that he saw an article and admits he did not read it, but then tells us what the article was about. How does he know what article was about if he did not read it.

As an Australian (living in Australia), this raises a wry smile. Saddening to think people actually listen to this and worse, believe it. "Even if it's fake, the fake is a warning" would have to be amongst the most ridiculous statements ever.
