You hit the nail on the head. Aus isn't a democratic nation it's an authoritarian corprotocracy but people don't care. Most Aussies actively choose no involvement in politics whatsoever.
Covid has exposed the powers that be to be about exactly that: power. In the US, gun and ammo sales are through the roof due to the overreach of government. Everyone in the west has been warned by seeing how our governments react to try and control us. Well, everyone except Sweden and South Korea.
The surprise to me is not that governments are doing this. The surprise to me is that so many people fall in line with it as if they are incapable of thinking for themselves. Maybe after so many millennia of being serfs, slaves, and other subjugations its just in our DNA.

Because there is over a year's worth of evidence from other countries that Covid is dangerous and spreads indoors easily and that lockdowns are an effective means to (at least temporarily, until vaccines take over) counter it?

But we just pretend it isnt happening because people value some security theatre more than any freedoms now. People as a mob have lost the ability to behave rationally, totalitarian populists have rolled in, and they've been welcomed.
Basically we're fucked.
Edit: the post is dead, which is understandable given this kind of discussion is not what the website is for. What the OP is frustrated about, and what terrifies me, is that there is literally nowhere to have a sensible discussion online about what is happening. Any questioning the official version is shut down an name called. We're not a western democracy anymore, this is truly frightening.
