Even in Orwell's nightmares you could take a walk in the countryside, laugh with your mates at the pub, grab a pint... But not in leftist Australia.

It's so scary that this is true. Even at the end when Winston had gone through his... re-education... he was still able to go about, even met with Julia again. He was actually more "free" in that totalitarian hell-hole than the Aussies in today's climate.

How bizarre is that? Life truly is stranger than fiction.
