It's as if Australia isn't averaging just 4 COVID deaths a day.

A little surprised Aussies haven’t rebelled yet.

Cell phones are evil bump.

They can’t use them to spy on you if you don’t have a cell phone.

Easy peasy.

RE: A little surprised Aussies haven’t rebelled yet.

Thousands of Aussies have taken to the streets. But it isn’t enough. You gotta vote the bums out and replace them with people who will support FREEDOM ( while you still have the chance to vote ).

An anal shot would be more appropriate I think.

That's it? They'll have to actually drive to police roadblocks. Get arrested. If they all do it in a line, the police will eventually give up.

What if you travel and your cell is at home?

What if you’re asleep?

Off to the Goolag?

So? Australia is not totalitarian like China. The police/military will not be willing to slaughter their people. Use that against them.

I don't think anyone is permitted to leave their state in Australia. Depending where you are, you may not even be allowed to leave your home.

They have lots of guns. But just like here, no one is willing to fire the first shot and who do you aim at anyway?

“I think every South Australian should feel pretty proud that we are the national pilot for the home-based quarantine app.”

The Aussies should start with the person who uttered that creepy statement.

I’ll bet they’re going to be getting a lot of those.
Any time they’ve done their tattletale tip lines and websites, they get flooded with peepeechosetz.

At what point does an ostensibly free country cease to be a liberal democracy?

When they turned in their guns.
