Sometimes this information is so false/exaggerated that you have to laugh. I believe this “Red State” really might be a”Red State “ coming straight from the CCP.

p.s. This of course is not Australia’s government organization, Tennis Australia is a private company that you were praising just two weeks ago. It is like the NBA or Nike on the USA wanting to please the CCP.

I have repeatedly and you keep posting ridiculous stuff and do not research facts. So if you want to live in your fantasy world that Australia is so bad while your own country is falling apart and pawns of the CCP go ahead.

We praised them a few weeks ago when they stood up to the Aussie covid authoritarian crap. We attack them when they appease communist China.

It is called being consistent.

but identity politics is ok! yesterday was Pride Day at the tennis, with the rainbow flag flying, & the public - including little children - waving small rainbow flags, etc:

25 Jan: Daily Mail: Sophie Cachia and girlfriend Maddie Garrick celebrate Pride Day at the Australian Open by packing on the PDA and sharing a tender kiss
By CALEB TAYLOR FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA
Both women wore rainbow-coloured sweat bands on their wrists to mark the Australian Open’s first Pride Day event.
Later, the women posed at signage for the Grand Slam with them appearing upbeat at the celebrations...

btw the Australian Open is being shown on free-to-air Channel 9, which has ELEVEN channels. mostly they show 2 matches concurrently, sometimes 3.

but today, they stopped broadcasting a quarterfinal featuring their most prominent player, Rafael Nadal, after two sets, in order to have one men’s doubles match on their channels showing the tennis, because it features two Australians, one of whom is an absolute media darling, Nick Kyrgios.

whilst the covid rules stipulated 40 percent capacity crowds for the tournament, appearances by Kyrgios or Australia’s Ash Barty, appear to have virtually 100% capacity, as these are the only matches those who are attending the tournament seem interested in this year.

one rule for us, etc...

We don’t have the vaccination police and camps yet.

But tell us how Australia has not devolved into just another human rights war
criminal government like China’s or North Korea’s.

Surely that can’t happen here in the US, right?

Right?!

Why, President PedoDementoCorruptoCrat would put his foot down, for certain!

Tennis Australia is indeed consistent, they are for open borders like the USA government is, and like the USA government and big USA sports companies they are afraid of offending the CCP and to the point of the Rainbow issue they, unfortunately,just like all the big sports groups in the USA,are supporters of the LBGTetc movements.

p.s. how many people do you think are now in quarantine for 14 days in the one quarantine camp in the Northern Territory now? HAWK many political prisoners are in prison in Washington DC? Where are our vaccine police located? You have a Federal vaccine mandate for all health care workers. Our only Federal mandate is that aged home care workers are. You are kicking military people out of the military for not being vaccinated.

Didn’t Australia start out as a prison?

So the Australian quarantine camps and the Australian police casing down
those that escaped, and doing contact tracing and such to fill them in the first
place, what was that?

On one side, we have all the reports that got out. And people and even police
there, finally beginning to resist...

On the other, your unsubstantiated claims that what? None of it ever happened?
(Meanwhile the focus is shifted to debate over a sports player or two...)

??!

Convince us it was all fake news and Australia’s government is really a bastion
of liberty, freedom of expression, self determination, and self defense, without
camps or mandates.

(We may need someplace to escape to if we don’t fix 2020, and the USA
becomes Venezuela.)

Here we go again. I cannot believe how little Americans know about the history of their own country. Australia owes its founding to the American Revolution. Britain was sending its convicts to America. When the Americans started to win Britain had to find a new place. So the first convicts were sent to what is now New South Wales in 1788.

MSM jumped on the story that France’s new laws would prevent Djokovic from playing at the French Open, despite the Sports Minister previously stating he would get a medical exemption.

if the following is true, the new law still includes a provision for natural immunity:

25 Jan: AP: Vaccine loophole to reignite Djokovic charge
As questions quickly arose about Djokovic’s status in France following his deportation from Australia, Sports Minister Roxana Maracineanu previously said that as soon as the law was passed the country’s vaccine pass would become compulsory to enter stadiums, theatre or exhibitions, “for all spectators, practitioners, French or foreign professionals.”

But the vaccine pass is not restricted to vaccination.

Under the law that took effect on Monday, anyone who has proof they tested positive within the previous six months is exempt from having to show a vaccine pass. That suggests Djokovic could play in the French Open in May and June, the next Grand Slam tournament, because he has said he tested positive in mid-December...
