Howard Springs, Quarantine Camp, Northern Territory
Posted on 11/22/2021 1:39:29 PM PST by ransomnote
In an appalling breach of human rights, 38 indigenous Australians in the Northern Territory have been hauled into quarantine camps by the army.
The Australian army has begun forcibly removing residents in the Northern Territories to the Howard Springs quarantine camp located in Darwin after nine new Covid-19 cases were identified in the community of Binjari. The move comes after hard lockdowns were instituted in the communities of both Binjari and nearby Rockhole on Saturday night.
Northern Territory Chief Minister Michael Gunner announced today that the “Residents of Binjari and Rockhole no longer have the five reasons to leave their homes,.” The five allowable reasons to avoid lockdown that he referred to are buying food and supplies, exercising for up to two hours, care or caregiving, work, or education. It is a case of if it can’t be done from home, and to get vaccinated at the nearest possible location.
“They can only leave for medical treatment, in an emergency, or as required by law.” says Gunner, he continues that “It’s highly likely that more residents will be transferred to Howard Springs today, either as positive cases or close contacts,” adding “We have already identified 38 close contacts from Binjari but that number will go up. Those 38 are being transferred now.”
Gunner said that he had contacted the Prime Minister last night and that they are grateful for the support of about 20 ADF personnel, as well as army trucks to assist with the transfer of positive cases and close contacts – and to support the communities. He also said “We are doing an assessment today of what extra resources we might need from the Feds, and the Prime Minister is ready to help further – I thank him for that.”

Quarantine facilities
There are two mandatory supervised quarantine facilities in the Northern Territory; Centre for National Resilience in Howard Springs, Darwin, and the Alice Springs Quarantine Facility, Alice Springs. As stated on the Northern Territory Government website, A person in quarantine must;
Chief Health Officer Direction 52 of 2021 sets out what a person must do when in quarantine at the Centre for National Resilience and at Alice Springs Quarantine Facility. This direction is law – every person in quarantine must do what the Direction says. If a person does not follow the Direction, the Northern Territory Police may issue an Infringement Notice with a financial penalty. (Source)
The Northern Territory as of today, November 22nd, 2021, has a total of 38 “Cases” of what they deem to be COVID-19, which makes it even more blatantly obvious that the excessive new measure has nothing to do with a virus.
Was that back when there were 7 channels on the television?
What is the smoke plume from?
Number 4 is GP.
Looks nice there. Definitely can see the upgrade in native living since the British came.
Much more colourful and synthetic.
I am sure they will love the fences.
I now teach secondary school... you’re either patient or you don’t last long :)
“Aboriginal people will be extinquished.
This is pure conspiracy theory in my view. There is no plan to ‘kill off’ anybody.”
500 million is the goal. The left overs will be served by ai robots. That’s the conspiracy, so yeah, if that is the plan then they gotta “kill off” a bunch of people around the world. Not just aboriginals.
But that’s just conspiracy talk.
fix your problems and then get back to us
I lost my patience on my 80th birthday, it’s not coming back.
Now why would I waste my important time with you on that.
Facts:
"There are no plans to put unvaccinated Australians into isolation camps – and the screenshot used to circulate the claim is from a hoax social media account.
7NEWS has a number of city and state-based Instagram accounts, including 7NEWS Melbourne, 7NEWS Sydney and 7NEWS Queensland, however it does not have an account with the handle “7newsvictoria”. No such user could be found on Instagram at the time of writing.
In an email to AAP FactCheck, a spokesman for the media company said: “7NEWS has never published this and the account is fake.”
Similarly, a spokeswoman for the Australian Department of Health said the “post is false”.
She told AAP FactCheck in an email that the government was collaborating with state and territory governments to design and build managed quarantine facilities “intended to support the quarantine of returning international travellers”.
In future, vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers could face different quarantine requirements, but this wouldn’t mean unvaccinated people living in the country would be put in camps.
“Decisions regarding quarantine requirements for vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers are continuing to be considered as Australia progresses through the National Plan to Transition Australia’s COVID-19 Response (National Transition Plan),” the spokeswoman said.
... end of post (AAP sourced) The quarantine facilities are managed by state and territory governments, and a number of states have plans to build quarantine facilities – which have sometimes been referred to as “camps”. These facilities are for travellers arriving in the country, not unvaccinated residents as suggested in the post
Nope. Currently Tokyo at present.
My problems are nil. Not sure what you are implying by the coment or the graph?
Not where I was headed with that, but it’s none of my business to begin with, so I’ll just say, “Cool.”
Hope you continue to get something out of this beyond responding/trolling the dumber comments. Your older posts were some of the best on the site.
Don’t get me wrong tho... While I suspect your views are much more trusting of the establishment (and perhaps for some good personal reasons), I share many of your frustrations with the current state of American politics. Hard to discuss things when people have lost their minds.
The reformed former prison colony reverts to its original mission.
Pretty funny when you see what the Americans have done to the prisoners locked up for petty offenses on January 6th. Looks like worse condition than contrecentraion camps and little due process. Doesn’t look like many Americans are upset by your fascist government and taking to the street with protests.
Things are so bad in the USA, I guess they need to look outside so they feel a little better.
Look over there...a squirrel!

I will be honest with you. I think our government is every bit as evil, if not more so. Frankly if China nuked DC tomorrow, I’d stand in line to buy ‘thank you’ cards.
I have not changed one bit.
A lot around me has changed. I am assuming and hoping after all of this flirting with populist, one man-centered nonsense is out of everyone’s system things will get back to normal, but I can’t guarantee that soon. People will just have to learn I suppose. (See my profile for a statement of my core conservative values)
