As for the freedoms currently possessed by Australians...
This weekend I'm hosting a party. Not a big party... it's going to be about 80 people.

I live in Australia and find your title offensive.
Where do you live?
Only the most valuable sports franchise in the world, though I think you already knew that. Worth more than $5 billion. Five Super Bowl victories and three losses, though they’ve been pretty lackluster since their last appearance in 1995. Their stadium is impressive. Cost more than $1 billion, has a retractable roof, can seat up to 105,000. It’s reputed to use more electricity than the entire nation of Liberia. But I don’t know anyone who likes the owner, a repulsive creature named Jerry Jones. The cheerleaders are hot; not just super attractive but professional dancers.

Careful, you're libel to get some 'mericans all riled up.
Standard defensive tactics
Ignore the issue at hand and hilite someone else’s problems to deflect
Any ‘mericans would be foolish to play that deflection game
Now that sounds like a party! What are you serving for breakfast?

Melbourne's a hellhole, but it's still better than everything the USA has to offer.
Don't confuse Democrat-run cities in America with the majority of America.
I have a lot more freedoms than any normal citizen in Australia, for instance.
But keep your ignorance on!
It seems oddly fitting on you.
Not everything comes down to blue or red, lol. Something tell's me your're ignorant of the freedoms possessed by Australians.
I'm not blue or red... I'm an Independent that is currently thinking that Trump would be a good choice for this year because blue currently sucks.

This weekend I'm hosting a party. Not a big party... it's going to be about 80 people.
The local Sheriff and some deputies are coming out too because they really like my shooting range... 700 yard targets, a separate (to the right!) 25 yard and 50 yard target set for pistols.
My 50 cal I've cleaned up for the year and we will be having some fun with it...
The law is bringing automatic weapons so that should be fun too...
I will be serving my personal wine for the year...
Somewhere in the middle of that some of us are going to go to my sweat lodge, do a bunch of peyote (legal for me) and we will see what the Gods talk about...
The next day I will make a big breakfast, then I will ask for volunteers to help me run an electrical line to my pond (which I did not need a permit to build) so that I can put another aerator in the pond so that my trout (that I did not need a permit to bring on my property) will have a little more bubbles.
I also do not need a permit to extend the electricity on my property, because my property has no Covenants.
SoOo... how free are Australians again?

You are one of my favorite posters and I agree with 99.9% of what you say, but in this particular case I think you're wrong to insinuate we have just as many freedoms as the US. Yes we have some freedoms that many people assume we don't have, but we also have a great deal of freedoms the US doesn't have. Moreover we're becoming a much more left-leaning nation than the US, which has led to a lot of new regulations in the last few years. I've written about it in a few threads, one of them being Australia: From Convicts to Crybabies. The fact people let this girl be beat up like that is just more evidence of how scared and docile we have become, and I entirely blame the MSM and other forms of social engineering.
Really? Don’t you want to live in one of the Blue State paradises where people are arrested because they were too selfish and opened their shops while ignoring their governors call to care more about flattening the curve?????

So this happened in broad daylight, in a capital city, in a train station, a gang attack and nobody helped this 16yo girl. She couldn’t defend herself against a gang of 8
What is this country I live in coming to, people stand by, watch this and do nothing.
Outside of that media ignore this
This is great footage for the media, great drama, great appeal for news networks to rake in views and nothing.
Sensationalistic journalism is the catch cry from msm, it’s all they have left to sell advertising and nothing.
No media outrage, why, colour?
Police can’t touch it because the girl is afraid of more attacks, does that make the police in Victoria insipid and useless, legal system impotent, useless
If our police force went on strike then nobody would notice if that’s the case
Heart breaking

Get out of the big city.
Try crap like that in more rural areas and people will come running to assist a kid in danger like that.
ETA: Imagine you get out of the big city in aussie land same thing wouldn't happen, for some reason us inbred un cultured hicks believe in things like helping each other, personal liberty, personal responsibility.. etc.
