Hong Kong is screwed and is going to turned into a despotic nightmare. Will Hong Kong see their citizens rise up finally or will they whimper into silence?

Australia will offer extended visas to Hong Kong residents who feel threatened by new national security laws imposed by Beijing.
Australia won't open up a new humanitarian intake for Hong Kongers who fear persecution under the laws but will instead, it will focus on students and temporary visa holders - primarily those who are already in Australia.
The Chinese Embassy in Australia issued a statement in response to the PM's announcement. You can read it here.

There are protests everywhere these days.
