Northern Territory police say they don't believe three teenagers who allegedly absconded from Darwin's Howard Springs COVID-19 quarantine facility this morning came into contact with members of the community.
At a COVID update press conference, NT Chief Minister Michael Gunner confirmed the teenagers, aged 15, 16 and 17, tested negative for the virus yesterday.
He said all three were from the Binjari community near Katherine and had been sent into quarantine as close contacts of positive cases.
~~SNIP~~
The facility is housing people affected by the Katherine region COVID-19 outbreak as well as returned travellers from repatriation flights, including a man who tested positive for the Omicron variant on Monday.
He said the escape could mean an extension of the time the teenagers were required to stay in quarantine.
"Absconding from Howard Springs isn't just dangerous — it is incredibly stupid," he said.
"Because we will catch you and there will be consequences."
When do the oppressors start not coming home? Fight or die.
Per the Deep State down there, this isn’t a quarantine camp.
It’s a Centre of National Resiliance.
And if that doesn’t creep you the Hell out...
“Why do they even have those facilities?”
Ahhhhh, critical thinking skills.
Please post links that you consider to be a more accurate portrayal of real time events, thanks.
No doubt.
Remember that Farrah got billing on the promos to entice moviegoers? “Starring Farrah Fawcett.” Yeah right. Turned out she was in it for about 3 minutes and had about the same number of lines.
No matter, Jenny Agutter was hotter anyway.
Help us out.
Detail the inaccuracies of this article.
Does the “detention facility” exist? Yes or no please
Did these young people escape from the facility? Yes or no.
Were they captured and brought back to the facility by force?
Yes or no.
You sound like a happy slave.
What no FR pro-jab goosesteppers calling these camps fake?
It looks like the Great Escape all over again. I was hoping these human rights dissidents made it to the Swedish embassy and could request political asylum in the embassy from the pro-vax death cult that is now Australia.
The facilities were originally built in 2012 to house 3500 temporary Japanese oil and gas construction workers through 2018 for the giant Impex project. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-29/inpex-legacy-riding-boom-avoiding-bust-nt-economy/10236158 When the project was finished the Japanese gave the facilities to the Northern Territory in 2019. Now on the average with returning Aussies from overseas and housing the few aboriginals, it has on the average only 600 people. The overview of the large site, makes it look like it holds many people (it can), but that because it was first built for the 3500 Japanese, but at the peak of construction there were 8000 (only 1000 were local) workers who had to be housed and it was expanded. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/jun/04/beyond-marketing-cliches-inside-howard-springs-quarantine-centre-i-find-shel You might not like the policy, but Australians returning to Australia had to spend 14 days in quarantine. In the past, they were put up in hotels in the downtown cities (some states are still doing it). It didn't work very well, as many of the workers at the hotels got the Covid, so they started bringing some overseas to the facilities in the Northern Territory to house these people. https://coronavirus.nt.gov.au/travel/quarantine/mandatory-supervised-quarantine They normally just stay for 14 days. The facilities are fairly basic, but clean and in most cases, much better than where some of the aboriginals live in squalid conditions(their own choice) in the NT. This story in the Washington Post (I know, a very lefty media site), tells the story of an Aussie returning home and his experiences staying there for the 14 days. It shows what the rooms and food look like. They are hardly concentration camps. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/australia-darwin-covid-quarantine/2021/05/21/f72bc0ac-ad1b-11eb-82c1-896aca955bb9_story.html It a bit outdated from May, because now all Aussies can come home and I believe the borders are open to all on December 15th.
Again, you might not like the policy, but this article explains why the few aboriginals from one community were moved to the same facilities where the returning Aussies were in quarantine. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-11-21/nt-explainer-on-new-cases-in-binjari-and-rockhole/100638192 Many of the aboriginals liked living there, but should only be there for 14 days, unless the outbreak continues.

Do you think they would be getting away with this if they hadn’t taken away their guns couple years back?
See post 74 the comments on this thread are pretty funny.
