Senator Alex Antic is a member of the Liberal Party representing South Australia in the federal parliament since 2019. In this wide-ranging conversation, he opens up about how COVID-19 became his political awakening, admitting he was "far too cavalier" in trusting government and bureaucracy before the pandemic revealed how easily institutional power can be weaponized against citizens. Senator Antic was the only senator to vote against Australia's recent hate speech legislation, walked away from party pressure, and currently fights to repeal "no jab no pay" laws that withhold government benefits from families who don't comply with childhood immunization schedules. We examine the broader pattern: an alarming expansion of state control over just 18 months including hate speech laws, hate crime laws, firearms restrictions, digital ID frameworks, and the under 16 social media ban, all targeting free speech & other human rights. Senator Antic shares why Australia is no longer sovereign.
