FYI first person account of Covid internment at Howards Springs, Darwin Australia

Just posted a few hours ago by Freddie Sayers on the yt “unherd” ( which btw is well worth watching intelligent discussion) channel just posted:
https://youtu.be/mGFdWcJU7-0

A Young lady had contact with a friend who’d had contact with an alleged infected person. Police cameras caught her scooter tag leaving friends house.
First contact undercover cops in plain clothes to remain discrete and the saga goes on from there...
This is a direct result of Australian "Contact Tracing", and leads directly to her internment.

The Young woman relates reason for her 14 day incarceration in Darwin’s Howard Springs Internment Camp.
Includes her phone footage of camp guards issuing a warning from straying from the tiny porch...
Quote the masked man, “We’re all just doing the right thing, yeah?”
“I just want everybody to do the right thing and unfortunately it’s my job to make sure they do.”

Folks should not forget that the post-war Nuremburg Trials only occurred after the Third Reich was utterly destroyed.
Merely citing the rulings doe not even give these polite thugs pause because they are likely completely ignorant of the trials.

This was an involuntary Australian CDC health commitment to the covid camp which occurs without any legal due process,
and whisked away with just enough time to 'pack a bag', or risk a $5,000.oo fine.
Contrary to many accounts, the covid interment camps are not luxurious, but are in fact, quite stark and basic housing.
It should be noted that at no time while in custody had she ever tested positive for covid.
This is a video warning to us all as to what we might or could expect in the furtherance of covid containment.

The Ozzie actually claimed the local tribe “agreed” to the confinement of all of their members.

Anyone who disagreed with the tribe was totally f*&^ed of course.

That is how Aussies define “democracy” these days—two wolves and a sheep deciding who is for dinner.

Naturalman, who, unlike yourself, is a well recognized Freeper, was pointing out the profuse amount of bull crap, some of which is likely produced by Chinese trolls working against the US and Australia. There are a lot of trolls on FR right now as you must know, eh?

I read all of Naturalman’s posts very carefully, and he has a very high tolerance for collectivist thinking and crushing of individual liberties.

That is why Australia does not look so bad from his vantage point.

Reminds me of when the Soviet NKVD rounded up "class enemies" in the Baltic states in 1941. They were given a few moments to pack a bag before they were herded into box cars to be shipped off to the Gulag.

The interviewee said that she lived in Victoria but because the lockdowns there were so brutal, she moved clear across the country to Darwin, only to experience even greater repression.

Those camps aren’t being built just for Covid.

So is Australia NOT forcing people into camps against their will, and chasing down escapees like they were runaway slaves? And they did NOT arrest that pregnant mom in front of her kids because she posted on Facebook about an upcoming protest? And did Australia NOT just pass a new law allowing the government to delete things from your social media OR post things as though they were from you?
Did they not forbid citizens from leaving the country AT ALL?

Those are not conspiracies. They are straightforward facts.

Well, that VIDEO of her and overhead pictures of that camp and her discussion of her treatment there and how she fell aren’t ‘trolls’ from China.

I commented on this yesterday:

It says why in the article: “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.”

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.
