Does your constitution provide you any written freedoms?

No you did, you gave up the right to call out your own government for stealing your individual rights!

Explain that to your kids and grandchildren..

You were afraid, and you traded their future freedoms for the idea of safety.

You own that.

I think Australia actually has a legit death count

We do not....

I am friendly with a managing nurse at one of Nashville top three hospitals

They are paid 14,000 per Covid death and 42,000 for Covid dialysis patients and so on from the feds who pass funds down to the states

The hospital tests every deaths for Covid and if u test positive regardless of actual cause Covid is listed to get the money

She does this for a living ...precisely

Our death rate is actually some truthseekers claim about one tenth of the total

So we are not overrun with this many deaths

Another way to tell is has our aggregated death rate and gross numbers each spiked accordingly

No they have not

It’s inflated for politics because our leftist govt like yours wishes to use Covid to bolster fedzilla power

Vax mandates and shutdowns

Americans do not respond to govt control as easy as Aussies

Not sure why honestly....your founding history would have indicated more throw off the yoke culture to me

I haven’t been there in almost 40 years....I can tell a nation that used to be hyper masculine no longer is

It’s weird to watch

When I was there men were rowdy and fought easy and women were kind of a tier down

Now women are big in power there and you guys have hipsters too and lost your guns in a big way

It’s just unnerving a bit...to witness..feel free to tell me I’m full of shit

I did well with women there then...they cussed like men but would tell me ...as a southerner ...the opposite of your southerners ...in Aussie northern Australia culture is more like southern. USA culture

Anyhow Aussie women loved I was soft and polite and non agggressive to them

Aussie men were brusque to women....this is early 80s

Sorry to ramble....I love Aussies

Our cousins around the world pretty much

What about the "quarantine camps" we keep hearing about? Any truth to that?

I spent a lot of time in your corner of the world while I was a flight attendant. I had a lot of fun in Sydney, Melbourne and over in Auckland. I'm hoping the best for all of you!

Thanks for the thoughtful, dispassionate description of what is going on in Australia. Do you know if the Covid situation similar in New Zealand? I understand they have a lot of lockdowns. My impression is that the national government of New Zealand holds relatively more power, but I don’t know.

What they got today is rubber bullets and pepper spray among other things.

They have used those weapons today and injured protesters at other locations in Melbourne.

They have the potential to fire projectiles here but they may damage the Shrine Of Remembrance in the process.

basically the same type of crap here in the US; we have some (not many) state governors who are going full Gestapo on their citizens and other governors who are just telling “BRAINDEAD BIDEN” to shove his executive orders where the sun don’t shine.

I am a native Californian and unfortunately for me, I live in one of the GESTAPO STATES, our governor (DER FURER) keeps saying “DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO”!

Is it true that your coppers killed a protester with a rubber bullet?

(Heard it on that livestream.)

This is completely unreasonable and tyrannical. It does not follow the science or the history of disease outbreaks. The Australian people should not lose their liberty “for their own good.” The power-mad government will NEVER give it back.

The Australian people MUST fight this tyranny and NOT GIVE AN INCH.

There is nothing reasonable about turning people into prisoners who have committed NO CRIME.

It is wicked for a government to argue it is enforcing tyranny to keep you alive when the result is your life becoming NOT WORTH LIVING.

Humans are social. They need fellowship with family and friends and fellow worshippers to remain psychologically healthy.

They need to shop for items they need and want.

You cannot meet evil half way. It is still evil.

My father was an American Air Force pilot and I was born in Texas. My mother was a war bride from Queensland. I am a dual citizen of both the USA and Australia.

It is not us Americans who do not understand Australian tyranny. It is Australians who are foolish to comply with this wickedness. These politicians are not scientists and they are refusing to even allow a debate, by highly skilled doctors and researchers, regarding alternative treatments.

These government monsters are deliberately hiding horrendous adverse reactions to the shots.

Their crimes against humanity include false imprisonment and trying to force a single, dangerous and experimental solution upon the people when there are cheaper and more effective solutions (as in India, with Ivermectin) which are cheap, proven effective for millions and do not require turning citizens into prisoners.

It is an absolute disgrace for Australians to believe the lies of these political lunatics and allow themselves to be locked away like they are dangerous felons.

COVID-19 is only deadly if you’re the elderly or considered to be medically high risk. All of this is an overreaction because you gave up your liberty. Liberty is not free. You have to pay a price in order to keep it.

Thanks.

Is it just rumor that someone got killed with a rubber bullet yesterday?

Our flu cases and flu numbers have also been very low throughout the pandemic.

What about the "quarantine camps" we keep hearing about? Any truth to that?

Sort of.

People coming into the country need to do two weeks quarantine. The Northern Territory still has a quarantine station (most of the rest of the country doesn't) because it's always had to deal with 'asylum seekers'. So they are using it. That could be referred to as a camp.

I haven't looked into it in detail, so I can't rule out there aren't some other facilities somewhere else too but they are a small part of the picture.

Other states have just been using hotels and they have proven to easily leak the virus into the community. So there is talk of building similar facilities. But with typical government timelines, if they do get built, the pandemic may actually be over.

But nobody has to come into the country - in fact, it's bloody hard to get permission to come in at the moment. We have Australians stuck outside the country screaming to be allowed in who are more than happy to spend two weeks in quarantine if they can go home after that.

People who are infected in Australia, or close contacts of those infected can normally quarantine at home but there are exceptions and they are generally moved to hotels as well at the moment, but again, that's less than ideal.

Some people are suggesting large numbers of people are being rounded up for no reason and sent to camps. Nothing like that is happening - even if people are quarantined, it's normally two weeks - clear test at the end of two weeks, you go home, and most people are clear at the end of two weeks. If you're not, yes, you'll have to stay longer.

When I see all the Americans who claim your last election was stolen fighting in the streets I might be a more inclined to listen to Americans preaching about freedom.
