What's happening

Children have helicopter parents, but can't have best friends, climb trees, walk to school, or be unsupervised.

Uni students have safe spaces, trigger warnings, and fears of microaggressions...

The government increasingly has policies to shape what you eat, how you spend your money, what you put in your body. Tells you not to smoke, but also not to vape.

Increasing regulation has made NSW an actual Nanny State (to the point that law requires childproof locks on the windows of your home).
