According to a survey of Australian attitudes, ongoing government-mandated lockdowns are pushing more Australians to value freedom over the law.

At the end of the June quarter of 2021, 29.3 percent of Australians agreed with the statement that “Freedom is more important than the law.” This was a significant shift compared to the 21.6 percent that valued freedom over the law during the quarter ending March 2020, one year prior.
