no-one can control you

you're not in captivity

do almost anything you want

go wherever you want

live happily

not being treated like animals

doesn't cost anything

not being restricted by anything

We discussed why we might be free.

Some said they feel free because.....

  we have others that love us

Australia isn't owned by another country

we have happy families, homes and a school

and great friends

we can go out of bounds except for the road

we are not employees

we can play with reasonably safe things

we feel lucky when we watch the news

they feel safe in their family

all the family is at home
