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.

For Japanese oil workers? Oh cool, so then like Auschwitz. Got it.

Trivia:
Auschwitz;
Started as a former World War I camp for transient workers and later a Polish army barracks, Auschwitz I was the main camp (Stammlager) and administrative headquarters of the camp complex.

Sure is sweetie, but we are vociferously against those un-American abuses. You on the other hand are cheering them on. How do you say Eva Braun in Aussie?

Haven't had to , but friends who came back into Oz, who have said they are pretty nice. These facilities are only apply for people coming into the country, people coming into NT from a “hot spot” and the little community of aboriginals.

We haven't left the country since the Covid and we usually travel at least four times a year, usually once a year to the USA (but with all the violence there now, we might not visit for awhile). Things are so messed up down here with each state having control of borders, we haven't even left the state in almost two years, because we can't take the change of getting back, even into our own state. This is the issue which I believe is the worst violation of human rights in Oz. Some states like People's Republic of Victoria (Melbourne) led by Chairman Dan Andrews, had horrible restricitons and lock-downs (worse in the world) and that state has had it borders locked down the most. Three y years ago, before Covid, Melbourne was voted the best city in the world, that was a joke then, but it really a joke now!

Things are much different here in Oz with each state controlling its own borders and requiring their own individual quarantine rules. The Federal Government only controls the national borders. Here is the NT guidelines and what the facilities contain:

https://coronavirus.nt.gov.au/travel/quarantine/quarantine-fee

When these were built by the Japanese for their oil and gas project in 2012, they were built for 3500 oil and gas construction workers and at the height their were 7000 foreign workers and 1000 Aussie workers. The architect firm won an award for the design:

https://aecom.com/projects/manigurr-ma-village/

That is the reason that this facilities look so large from the air, it really now is able to hold 850 temporary people, mostly just for 14 days each.

All these article are just propaganda either from the left or right, depending whose view there is. While the one woman in this thread was very unhappy, here is one from a women last year who thought it was great:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-09-11/quarantine-in-darwin-howard-springs-facility-becomes-a-holiday/12648762

It irritates me that we are beating each other up when both the USA and Oz are having our problems and China just takes advantages of this. The PRC does indeed put out a lot of anti-Australian propaganda every day as we have been the country leading the opposition to the PRC over the Hong Kong takeover, the investigations of the Covid origins, protecting Taiwan, keeping them our of Asian trade alliances and kicking many PRC out of Australia who were infiltrating the government and universities.

Lol How about your putting of Americans for trespassing in solitary confinement, little representation, cannot even see their relatives and forced confessions by the leftist justices and given ridiculous sentences. Meanwhile the ANTFA thugs supported by your state and Federal Government riot, burns things down, kill people, with hardly any protests by the good people of those states.

Sounds like the USA is far more along to the path of pre-WW2 Germany than Oz.

And are there any protests about these poor people being held in Washington DC? Hardly any, one reason now is the Americans have been so scared of anyone protesting these acts by your Justice Department, that their home will also be raided by your FBI storm-troopers and also put in solitary confinement.

They are a former prison colony whose residents voluntarily gave up their right to bear arms in 1990’s. If we dissolved our 2nd Amendment, we would be Australia on steroids. Talk about a nation going cuckhold.

Even if the concentration camp facilities are Five * and fit for a king this virus does not warrant forced relocation into concentration camps.

all over Aussie MSM today, from Murdoch media below, to taxpayer-funded ABC etc. how many times does it say “white supremacists”? what they mean are Trump supporters, don’t doubt it:

VIDEO: 38secs: 3 Dec: news.com.au: US white supremacists groups are spreading vaccine misinformation to Aboriginals to do them ‘harm’: Premier
White supremacists in the US are spreading vaccine lies to Aboriginals because they want to do them harm, one premier warns.
by Melissa Iaria
White supremacists groups from the US are spreading vaccine misinformation to Aboriginal communities because they “want to harm” them, Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan says.

The premier attended a roundtable of community leaders from the state’s Goldfields region on Thursday, and said he learned false information was being spread via social media to Aboriginals.
The information was found to have originated from the extremist groups in America.

“At the meeting just now we heard from one Aboriginal person who said white supremacist groups are sending information to Aboriginal people that they shouldn’t get vaccinated,” Mr McGowan told reporters.
“Now, the suspicion is these white supremacist groups out of America wouldn’t be unhappy if bad outcomes occurred to the health of Aboriginal people in Australia.

“Some of these groups spreading misinformation like white supremacist groups are doing it because they want to harm Aboriginal people, so I just urge Aboriginal people to listen to the experts.
“The experts say the vaccine is safe and effective and it’ll save their lives.”...

If you really knew (or maybe cared) about the relations between Australia and China, you wouldn't make those kind of remarks. The PRC hates Australia because we are the lead country in opposing their take over of Hong Kong, investigating the origins of Covid, using slave labor, proposed attacking of Taiwan, and opposing China from participating in Asian trade arrangement, amongst other thing.

Everyday their propaganda machine with their daily English newspaper puts out propaganda, much of it against Australia and the USA.

In the meantime, your American Government is the back pockets of the PRC, thanks to the Bidens, your government will not even stop companies from buying goods produced by slave labor.

If you really care take a look at these:

First thing. Identify and dox the camp guards and the good Australians “just doing the right thing.” Then, identify and dox who are ordering the guards who are, “just doing the right thing.” Then, burn the camp to the ground while free citizens stand guard at the homes of the thugs “just doing the right thing.”

Well, we have the Americans to thank for some states becoming a penal colonies and settling what would become Australia. Before the Revolutionary War in 1776, the British sent prisoners to states in the USA, some as indentured servants, especially to Maryland, Virginia and the penal colony of Georgia. It is estimated that Britain sent over 50,000 convicts to America.

Even while the war was in progress the British still sent convicts to America , and even kept a lot of prisoners from Britain in ships, even in New York harbor while the war was going on. When the war ended in 1783, Britain had to find a place to send their convicts.

https://sydneylivingmuseums.com.au/stories/why-were-convicts-transported-australia “Until 1782, English convicts were transported to America. However, in 1783 the American War of Independence ended. America refused to accept any more convicts so England had to find somewhere else to send their prisoners. Transportation to New South Wales was the solution.”

So in 1788 Britain sent the first convicts to Sydney, New South Wales. Peak was in the early 1830’s and that last convict landed in Western Australia (Perth) in 1868. During those 80 years, it is estimated the Britain sent around 164,000 convicts to what would late become Australia on January 1, 1901.

We did not give up our rights to guns. Since the restrictions were put in place, the number of legally owned guns has actually increased and the average gun owner has twice as many guns as back then. It is true, that it is very own to own a semi-automatic rifle, unless you are a professional hunters. However, shotguns and pistols are not that difficult to own, but they are licensed. So yes, we do have much stricter regulations than the USA, but is is myth to say that all guns have been banned.

Thank you for your reply. I’ve been following Australia since this started. I certainly learned how strong state rights are there. To close the borders for so long has got to be heart breaking and angering too.

My son stayed in one of the ‘trailers’ for the night about a year ago. Although no foreign travel was allowed in your country, he is a govt contractor. He and about 6 or so employees stayed the night and left the following morning. It was definitely not what he was expecting as you can imagine. But, he’s experienced several countries with their own Covid policies.

The difference with this video is that they were vindictive in response to her initial lie. She quickly explained herself. One would have expected some compassion. The punishment did not meet the crime.
I’m glad they offer a small outdoor sitting area. I’d lose my mind without it. It wouldn’t matter how nice it was. Also good they realize some people with severe anxiety may actually need medication.

For vacation reasons, I’d wait till things settle down. Unless you’re in the inner city in a sketchy area, you wouldn’t know this violence was taking place. Except Right now there’s some protesting of sorts in Waukesha, Wisconsin. In my area, everyone is acting the same as always.

Stay well.

When saying ‘wait till things settle down’, I’m referring to Covid, Not the violence. But, I’m not sure when/if it ever will. That alone adds to just how strange our world has become.
