Video has surfaced showing the dramatic arrest of a woman in Melbourne not wearing a face mask, where the arresting officer is accused of “choking” the 21-year-old.

My husband and I lived in Saudi Arabia for five years. He worked for ARMACO as a gas engineer. As my husband said "It was the adventure of a lifetime."
ARAMCO gave all of us lavish repat money and we saw a lot of the world that we KNEW we'd never see once we got home.

Morroco and Tunisia...not pleasant or fun. Did you pick up any Arabic words or phrases?

Shows if you live in Victoria under a left-wing government, shut up and wear your mandated mask, and don’t give the police a hard time if you don’t like it.
