See this is the problem - people take a kernel of true information and exaggerate it into things it's not.

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?

Nobody was 'doing contact tracing and such to fill' anything.

And there is only one place in all of Australia that could be called a 'quarantine camp' - not camps plural, but one, and that only exists because the NT government happened to have a former mining camp available for use and decided that would be a more secure and comfortable place to keep a very small number of people who could not safely and reasonably quarantine in their own homes.

Three teenage boys climbed a six foot wire fence and left - over the objections of their parents as it happens. Yes, the police tracked them down and returned them.

The Northern Territory took the approach they did, because due to the large size of the territory (about twice the size of Texas) and its low population (about 250,000 people) often living in tiny isolated communities of less than 100 people, hundreds of miles from any town, it was not safe and practical to provide necessary health care to sick people in those tiny isolated communities so bringing them somewhere where they could be treated if necessary makes sense. They also have only about 20 ICU beds in the entire territory, and other states were closing their borders so they could not guarantee being able to provide ICU support in the even of a large outbreak, so they were very intent on limiting things. You may still disagree with the choices they made, but it's a very different situation from the one people seem to imagine applied.

this has riled a few Aussie today. this is the virtual WEF which Xi Jinping spoke at recently. Morrison is known for his smirk, but it’s particularly obnoxious in this clip:

24 Jan: xyz.net.au: Evidence that (Australian ‘Conservative’ Prime Minister) Scott Morrison is a WEF Shill
By David Hiscox
The Liberal Party was reelected in 2019 specifically because the Labor Party’s environment policy was downright insane and would destroy our economy. Morrison’s commitment to “net zero” is essentially the same policy, if not worse...

This makes the following clip, of a WEF spokesperson congratulating ScoMo for pushing along Australia’s “digital transformation” and “energy transformation”, very interesting...

VIDEO 42secs Tweet: Syrian Girl
This is the Prime minister of Australia being congratulated by the WEF for introducing Digital ID by using Coronavirus as an Excuse.
This was his priority not the virus #MyGovID
Look at disgusting smirk on his face! So proud making his Paymasters happy...

Look at that smirk.

The psychopaths who run the World Economic Forum want to destroy Western industrialised civilisation. To do this, they are using the “climate change” scam as a pretext to destroy our energy production, and the Covid scamdemic as a pretext to destroy our freedom.

They are determined to implement their Great Reset, a policy which nobody wants and nobody asked for.

Unlike the USA where companies don’t back down the protests by the public and our conservative politicians, Tennis Australia is now allowing the “where is....” t shirts.

I was more impressed with the story from the lady the police tracked down.
Yes, I know she admitted she lied, but now is a good time to be sensitive to
the dangers posed by a bio-medical surveillance state. Especially a global one.

In any case, it’s good to hear things were not nearly as bad as what is being
done to our January 6th political prisoners here.

And while we don’t have camps yet, we did have nursing homes that a few
murderous Governors turned into death camps, so advantage Australia, there.
More advantage Australia if they are not mandating masks and vaccinations,
along with vaccination papers, especially on children. Are they?

Current western governments and corporations obviously prefer China methods to traditional western freedoms and competition. It’s up to us to replace them.

If you're talking about the person I think you're talking about, I'm really not impressed with her story. Basically quite a lot of what she described seems to have been very unlikely to be accurate - she named organisations as being involved for example, that don't actually exist. So it's difficult to assess exactly what did and didn't happen. I mean, I'm sure the core of what she said is true - but there's a lot of missing detail. And if she hadn't lied, her situation would have been different, and I don't really think she lied as any sort of protest. I think she was just dumb enough to think nobody would check.

More advantage Australia if they are not mandating masks and vaccinations, along with vaccination papers, especially on children. Are they?

There are no vaccine mandates that apply to children in Australia. The only vaccine mandates we have (which differ from state to state) are ones relating to employment - there are some jobs (in my state, a lot of jobs, in some other states, less so - I'm fairly sure, the only group that is mandated across all of Australia is aged care workers).

Masks - again, depends where you are. My state generally has the strongest rules (because our state government is genuinely authoritarian). Right now, we need to wear masks in indoor situations where social distancing is not possible. There have been times when the rules were stricter than that - having to wear them outside as well - and times when they were more relaxed - we were pretty much mask free about a month ago, before they used the Omicron surge in numbers as a reason to reintroduce stricter rules. But again, there are other states, where masks are pretty much gone, and some places where they've rarely been required - there may even be some that have never required them, but I'm not sure on that point. It really does depend what part of Australia you are in.
