A South Australian federal election candidate has taken to social media to claim Australians are on the brink of being sent to forced labour camps.
Suzanne Waters, the United Australia candidate for Grey which spans 92 per cent of the state, said the election was “a choice between freedom and communism” before comparing the country’s future to the system of the Gulag.
The Gulag was a series of forced labour camps and prisons set up in Soviet Russia from the 1920s to the mid-1950s through which it is believed 18 million people passed and between 1.2 and 1.8 million died as a result of their incarceration.
“After this election, if we don’t have a change, we might all end up in the Gulag – and that is not a far stretch,” Ms Waters said.
“This will be the last chance you have at (freedom), there will be no turning back after this election.
“You will have no hope.
“We’re about to have a tyrannical takeover in our government.”
The Facebook live follow Barker candidate Maddy Fry defending her media tirade about pedophile cover-ups and a black market in aborted foetus body parts.
Speaking to The Messenger in the aftermath of the video Ms Waters said her claims were actually her recounting the stories of what other people had told her and she had no idea how a gulag would work in Australia or what it would look like.
“I’ve had a lot of people come to me and tell me they are quite scared about what the future will hold,” she said.
“I believe a lot of people are concerned about the future.”
Ms Waters, who was speaking over the weekend to a group of supporters at Denial Bay on the Eyre Peninsula, explained she was a regional paramedic before she was forced from her job due to a double vaccination mandate from SA Health.
She was accompanied by a man, who later broke into a rendition of The Seekers’ I Am Australian, said his grandfather had been part of the gulag and he could see the same thing happening in Australia.
She then unleashed on donkey voters who would not “stand up for freedom”.
“People here in Australia don’t know persecution,” she said.
“They might think they do, but they haven’t seen family members driven off, put in prisons and jails and killed and beaten. (There were) five million at any time in the gulag in Russia, most of them died (or were put into) forced labour.
“We sit here in Australia and we have a lot of ‘Jennifers and Jasons’ whose idea of persecution is to be addressed by the wrong pronoun … that’s what they whinge about.”
According to the 2016 census about 7 per cent of the population of the Grey electorate are Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people, the highest percentage in the state.
Several Aboriginal lands and communities existing within the electorate were part of the stolen generation where Aboriginal children were removed from their families.
Ms Waters said she could “understand” how Aboriginal people would be able to know what persecution meant.
