Australia's New South Wales has gone stark, raving mad. Eleven days ago, it renewed complete lockdowns, including barring people from speaking to each other, thanks to a few hundred new cases and the deaths of two men in their 90s. These new cases were on top of the 12,588 cases and 91 deaths since last February, out of a population of 5.3 million — in other words, numbers that aren't even a statistical blip.
That, it turns out, was the beginning. The state shepherded tens of thousands of children into arenas and injected them with vaccines, it's arresting people for leaving their homes, and it's shooting dogs. No wonder Australians are starting to riot.
On August 12, I wrote about the decision in New South Wales (which is the most populous state and home to Sydney, Australia's largest city) to reinstate lockdowns. For a disease with a >99% survival rate, people were told they could leave their homes only to get food, go to work, or get medical treatment. Even worse, aside from telling people to refrain from all social interactions, the premier, Gladys Berejiklian, told people to inform on each other, a classic totalitarian move that destroys familial and social bonds.
Meanwhile, Canberra, Australia's capital city, has announced that there's a goal for the lockdown: it will continue until the virus is gone. Of course, viruses are never gone, especially viruses that have been manufactured in a lab to go directly to a human host, without the necessity of an intervening animal. Even if Canberra temporarily gets to zero cases, the moment people from the outside world enter (and they will), COVID comes right back again.
Believe it or not, it got worse after that.

Yet its the left doing all this, kid
The blood and adrenaline were flowing freely ...
This is, among other things, a great example why a written Constitution with specific, written Bill of Rights, is actually essential to a free republic.
Any rights Australians think they have exist completely at the whim and discretion of the government.
Communist. NOT Fascist
The government went full fascist, and it’s not because of covid. Covid is the excuse, not the reason.

All I do now is D**k around. /sparks.
According to one of our Aussie FReepers, the “children” were grade 12 and they weren’t forced. How many 12th graders take their parents anywhere?
Feel that I still don’t know the whole story. 22,000 does seem like a lot of any one grade even for Sydney area.
Sort of like influenza. And hey, what a coincidence, "COVID" seems to affect the same people, to the same extent, as the flu...
Oh, the humanity! Cut down in the prime of their lives! You selfish bastards who want to live as free people, YOU are the reason those men, with so much life left to live, have been taken from this world!
Covid is the excuse tyrants are using to be tyrants.
Yes, it is.
