My daughter, who works and lives in Melbourne told me yesterday that they are now under "Modified quarantine",
since the recent covid "Delta" and "Kappa" variant infections occurred cross-town in Melbourne, Vic.
As a result, instead of strict quarantine of 5 km., the new modification allows them to travel 10 km.,: for food, chemist, medical appointments, and 1 hour of exercise outdoors.
If outside your area of confinement, you are subject to arrest or outrageous fines.
They are awaiting government information on the quarantine,as their upcoming 3 day holiday occurs this weekend (Queen Victoria Day ? )

The most recent outbreak is attributed to a non-carrier staying for 14 days in a covid quarantine hotel, and testing negative upon release,
and days later, after normal activities in the community, testing positive.
Apparently, he caught covid while in the 14 day quarantine hotel upon departure.
Their numbers of covid infections are so low, that they are able to conduct "Contact Tracing". Refer back to Elon Musk incident whereby on the same day, he tested twice as negative, and twice as covid positive; actually, the PCR testing procedure is highly inaccurate !

Population wise Florida with 22 million people is just smaller than the entire country of Australia.

In Florida we have had 2.5 million cases and 37,000 deaths from covid.

Meanwhile, in Australia they have had 30,000 cases and 910 deaths in their sparsely populated country.

It seems the Aussie’s are becoming a police state. That is a shame as I have enjoyed my many visits to their country.

Probably Queen’s Birthday Weekend...

It was the birthday of one of the kings but they kept it even though Queen Elizabeth has a birthday in April...

NZ has the same weekend....

It seems to me that Australia and Canada are “beta” sites for what the so called “elite” globalists want to do to the rest of us.

This is why you never give up your guns.

My daughter who lives in Sydney explained how New South Wales approached the pandemic differently than did Victoria, the state Melbourne is in. Unlike Victoria, in NSW there was never any harsh lockdowns or much business’s disruption. Instead, they relied on contact tracing and selective isolation. Wherever you went in Sydney, whenever you entered a business or restaurant, you were required to check in with a QR code. Businesses which did not comply were shut down. Whenever a Covid case appeared, the infection was traced back to a patient zero, and then traced back outward to those potentially effected, who were then quarantined and treated. This approach gave NSW a slightly smaller Covid rate than Victoria.
