The battle between liberty and tyranny is an eternal struggle, fought across generations and within every human heart. This volume of The Western Australian Jurist examines tyranny from diverse angles, including government overreach during Covid-19 and the rise of woke ideology. Building on previous editions—Fundamental Rights in the Age of Covid-19 and Wokeshevism: Critical Theories and the Tyrant Left—this collection continues to explore the threats to freedom and the enduring necessity to resist tyranny on both societal and personal fronts.
