‘Filthy, Disgusting & Selfish’: Australian Leaders Blast Anti-Lockdown Protesters, Unleash ‘Strike Force’ To Track Them Down
Post In Trend ^ | Ankita Dixit

Australian police have already issued hundreds of fines in the wake of mass anti-lockdown rallies, and are looking for more info about the violators, as state leaders condemn protesters for endangering other people’s lives.

In just 24 hours after Saturday’s mass protest, police in New South Wales issued 510 penalty infringement notices, Deputy Commissioner Gary Worboys said, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. He vowed that the authorities will continue to investigate the acts of “violent, filthy, risky” behavior.

A STRIKE FORCE IS SET UP RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT THAT CONTINUES TO ASK FOR PEOPLE TO BRING FORWARD ANY VIDEO FILES OR TELEPHONE FOOTAGE THAT THEY HAVE OF THAT SORT OF BEHAVIOUR.

NSW Police Minister David Elliott earlier announced that at least 22 veteran detectives will be working as part of a special unit to identify and track down people who attended the rallies.

State Premier Gladys Berejiklian echoed these sentiments, saying she was “absolutely disgusted” by the mass gatherings, and urging anyone who recognized any of the activists to contact police immediately. 

’IM JUST SO UTTERLY DISGUSTED, DISAPPOINTED AND HEARTBROKEN THAT PEOPLE DON’T CONSIDER THE SAFETY AND WELLBEING OF THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS.

 

NSW reported two deaths and 141 new cases of Covid-19 on Sunday, which is slightly lower than the day before. Authorities, however, have hinted that as the protest risks turning into a superspreader event, the month-long lockdown in Sydney might be extended even further.

“We don’t want a setback, and yesterday could have been a setback – time will tell,” Berejiklian said. The state’s current lockdown rules bar residents from leaving home except to obtain food and other “essential” goods and services, for medical care, including vaccinations, and for outdoor exercise and “essential” work.

The state of Victoria in the meantime recorded only 11 new cases, but Premier Daniel Andrews blasted the protesters for putting “many other people in real danger,” and said that he could not rule out that the state’s own lockdown will also be extended.

WE CAN’T VACCINATE AGAINST SELFISHNESS, AND THESE PEOPLE SHOULD BE ASHAMED, ABSOLUTELY ASHAMED, IT’S JUST WRONG.

Since the pandemic began, Australia has repeatedly staved off the spread of Covid-19 with some of the world’s most draconian lockdown measures, in pursuit of driving new cases down to zero even at the expense of civil liberties. Over the course of the pandemic, the country recorded just over 32,700 cases and 916 total deaths.

On Saturday, thousands of people sickened by perpetual restrictions and confinement marched through major Australian cities, chanting “Freedom!” and clashing with police who were deployed to disperse these “illegal gatherings.”

The safety and well-being of their fellow citizens is their fellow citizens lookout and not anyone else’s.

That must be because you still somehow think this is just about Covid.

What would BLM do? A lot more than clash, and then they get left alone.

Next time...every protestor should wear a ski mask obscuring their face.

And carry baseball bats for self-defense.

Antifa/BLM tactics would come in handy, also.

Mass civil disobedience is called for.

The government is dividing people. It’s long ast the time that the people unite against tyranny. Start as peaceful civil disobediince, “just say no.”

What’s filthy, disgusting and selfish is the government.

What is going on down there is criminal. They’re telling the people this is an open ended State control of their rights, with no end in sight.

“Filthy, disgusting, and selfish.”

Pretty sure the feeling is more than mutual.

Early on Sweden recognized the folly of trying to prevent the spread of Covid via lockdowns and masking. It’s crazy, in the face of clear evidence, to continue draconian lockdowns. Setting zero infections and death as the standard to return to normalcy is nuts. I’m really surprised the Australian government is so fanatical about the Covid.

Why are you surprised that the Australian government is so fanatical about "the Covid"?

Australia is as secular as the next Western nation. And when it gave up the fear of the Lord along with the rest of the countries that were once described as "Christendom", it (like us) gave up the wisdom that such fear brings.

The real mystery is how a country as progressive as Sweden managed to demonstrate the intellect and the foresight on Covid that none of the other formerly- Christian countries did.

Stay home, hide from the virus, lose whatever immunity you may have built up.

” I bet the political ax will have to fall on privileged foreigners like Portman and Cohen, too.”

One of the major reasons for all this BS is to show the steerage class that there are separate rules for the Royalty. It’s a like a new version of Jim Crow and they want us to enforce it on each other while they live in complete freedom.

See Nancy Pelosi and the hair appointment.

Now I get it — people who aren’t afraid of far-from-lethal diseases are selfish.
