"The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous, rather than cowardly." - Robert Anton Wilson
First they came for the health care workers, and I did not speak out — because I was not a health care worker.
Then they came for the aged care workers, and I did not speak out — because I was not an aged care worker.
Then they came for the childcare workers, and I did not speak out — because I was not a childcare worker.
Then they came for the police, fire, armed and service workers, and I did not speak out — because I was not a service worker.
Then they came for the teachers, travel, retail & construction workers, and I did not speak out — because I did not work in these industries.
Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me.
(Adapted from Martin Niemöller’s quote about the rise to power of the Nazi Party in Germany).
