At the recent protests against vaccine mandates in Canberra, police deployed long-range acoustic devices (LRADs), which transmit at high volumes and frequencies. A spokesperson for the ACT Police has confirmed that LRAD's ( long range acoustic devices ) were deployed.
Canberra protesters, including women and children, were badly burned by directed microwave energy beams, complaining of blisters on their faces, arms, and torsos. Concentrated microwave radiation can inflict painful burns on the skin from long distances away.

Once in a while, a voice you’ve never heard seems to come out of nowhere. The voice punches you in the gut with concision and force. When that happens, you know you’re hearing the voice of a leader.

The Canada and Canberra debacle - even the bees are swarming at the Beehive in New Zealand.

It’s the season for green-money showers in Australia – the Coral Community just got one billion dollars of green bribes from PM Morrison (this after $141M from PM Turnbull just over 3 years ago). Koalas got $50M from Morrison whilst the Queensland Government bought a huge grazing property to be converted into a national park.
