I'm quite sure. My city actually did that, during our 200 day COVID lockdown.

Australia has long been a test-bed for things other Western governments are keen to try. We were the 0.1 Beta.

But Gaza is the 0.2. Imagine how our elites are gloating over a "15-minute city" whose electricity, water, fuel and food are centrally and externally controlled, and can be cut off at any time if the locals get uppity.

In preparation for Australia's return as 0.3, perhaps, gathering firewood on roadsides or other public land here now attracts a $5000 fine, natural gas connections are illegal for new homes, and solar inverters, new cars etc etc are grid-tied, internet-enabled, and backdoored. For safety. And there's a camera on everything.

I bought a farm. And its offgrid. But its going to suck for most people...
