If anything, it just proves that a place like Australia, with the appearance of being a "liberal democracy" can get away with shit that other countries (Israel, Brazil, Belarus, Russia) cannot, without triggering some form of "sanctions" or at least "censure"... :-/

Sanctions are not imposed on countries like Belarus or Russia because they are not 'liberal democracies', but because they are not governed by puppets of the American regime. The human rights stuff is just a pretext.
