I think it's safe to say that we lost. It's over.
We tried. We really did, but at the end of the day, bureaucrats and not people determine how the world is run. Australia is just the beginning. When Trump wins and the UK falls apart, that will be the final blow to civilization as we know it. Humanity raped the world and now it is going to rape us back. This is merely the great filter in action; a species rendered helpless in the face of their own mortality. Another evolutionary flunk tossed into the garbage bin of cosmic history.
