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.
So, let me get this straight. They are transferring people with the virus to ‘camps’. The issue is not whether they have been vaccinated. The deciding issue is that they test positive for the virus. Correct?
So what has changed? Why couldn’t these COVID positive people continue to self issolate within their homes?
Australia is turning into a dictatorial nightmare. Democracy and freedom have proven to be short-term aberrations in the human historical process.
There used to be a guy on public-access TV here in the Seattle area who was a follower of Lyndon LaRouche. He had it in for the Brits and the Royal Family, and I never knew what that was all about. Now, as I observe the tyrannical policies being implemented in the British Commonwealth countries, I’m beginning to wonder if that guy was on to something. This is all so bizarre.
Australia is the testing ground for what they can get away with.
Xi runs Oz now.
Liberalism at its finest is indistinguishable from ‘30 Germany.
Every country, including the US, should immediately cut all diplomatic ties with that place and kick all of their diplomats out of their respective countries.
Let them live like they want to and cut them off from the rest of the world.
Won’t take long before Chinese warships start sailing off its coast.
Fake website.
Totally bogus.
100% correct.
All of these governments are doing what they think they can get away with doing to their people.
This story is basically true. But it ignores a huge amount about the specific situation.
This type of highly targeted approach to deal with real danger to small specific groups is far superior to the previous approaches being taken in some parts of Australia of mass lockdowns of whole cities to try and protect a tiny number of people.
Teach DEM to give up their arms.
Australia institutes CONCENTRATION CAMPS should be the headline.
Coming soon to the US???
I don’t know how ransomnote sleeps at night, with a mind so possessed by constant fear, disaster, looming doom.
This is hellacious.
Forward me any story on this tinfoil hat operation’s reporting of the Covid-19 status in Japan… Because Japan is proving to be one of the most successful nations worldwide in their approach to Covid… The figures speak for it… And the methods adopted to combat Covid here fly in complete contradiction to this crackpot website masquerading as journalism or academia.
The difference between us and them is guns and ammo. Lots of 'em.
If not, do you think Biden would hesitate to pull this on us?
