⁣Sky News host Alan Jones has spoken to Crawford School of Public Policy's Professor Ramesh Thakur about "unchecked medical tyranny" as the "entire machinery of state, backed by fear-peddling media, is unleashed on its citizens".

"I have been absolutely befuddled; it's impossible for me to comprehend how we have allowed the state to get to a situation to dictate to us who we see, when we see them, how many we can have in our home, and many of those restrictions... have been counter-productive against scientific advice," Professor Thakur said.
