Resisting Tyranny: Will We Learn the Lessons of History?

On Tuesday, the Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews resigned after nine years in office. During the global virus outbreak, Dan imposed one of the harshest and longest lockdowns in the world that gutted the state’s economy and caused an exodus of people to other states. Recently his government has faced investigations into corruption with many of his ministers and MPs resigning although he was able to emerge relatively unscathed. But with the Commonwealth Games debacle and an upcoming National Inquiry into managing the virus outbreak, Dan saw that it was time to go. With the downfall of another tyrant is a lesson for us. How do we resist tyranny going forward?
