The battle between liberty and tyranny is an eternal struggle, fought
across generations and within every human heart. As Joshua Forrester
notes, tyranny will always seek to suppress freedom, demanding an
unwavering defense. 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.
