While speaking about the vaccination rates in New South Wales, Australian chief health officer Kerry Chant expressed optimism that they’d soon reach a 90 percent vaccination rate for the 16 and over population. Even still, however, she quickly poured cold water on the idea of life returning to normal ever again.
"We will not be going back to pre-COVID levels. We are always going to have to be mindful that COVID exists," she said. "We're going to have to engage with booster shots, we're going to have to engage with advice from time to time when we see outbreaks. We're going to have to respond, so it's not going to go back to normal, we can't deny that we have to live with COVID."

The comments came after violent protests over vaccine mandates for the construction industry rocked Melbourne, Victoria.
Australia has taken some of the most extreme measures against Covid-19, severely curtailing citizens’ freedoms by restricting interstate travel, setting up detention camps, going after booze, creating Orwellian apps to track Covid compliance, and more. Some liberal writers in the U.S. have wondered if Australia can even call itself a democracy anymore.

Meanwhile, other countries have declared the opposite. Denmark lifted all Covid restrictions earlier this month, celebrating a “whole new era,” while Sweden removed most remaining pandemic restrictions. Norway also ended them, with Prime Minister Erna Solberg declaring, “the time has come to return to a normal daily life.”

Australia’s Chief Health Officer on COVID: Australia is never going back to normal

Asinine, hysterical/irrational and self-defeating. So much for the defense of the federal government down under.
A change of Government can do wonders unless all Australia’s Elites are Crazy
Looks like the Aussies are going to have to do some ugly things to get their country back. Sad. Many such cases.
The Dr. Fauxxi of Australia.
Down under, where sneezing in public will soon become a felony.
Thanks
We tried that. Look what happened.
We see it here in the US too.
Once tyrants have a lever of power in their hand, they are loathe to give it up.
I see more viruses and more serious viruses being released to keep this gig going for them.
Thanks to China, the world now lives with the threat of COVID 19 forever.
The only way to get back to normal is Nuremberg trials and executions for the Pfascists worldwide.
There’s a cure for that problem.
Is it me, or do these people seem to derive a sick satisfaction from excersising their demonic, irrational power over people?
Not in any way a surprise. Tyrants never give up their self-anointed, omnipotent new powers ... unless they are forced to. Tyrants, even petty tyrants like the ones in Australia, must be forced — physically forced in most cases — to treat people as free citizens; to treat people morally, ethically and fairly. Won’t happen otherwise as these self-anointed tyrants have a real taste for control now.
Went to Arkansas this past week, only one person was wearing a mask. Now for the insane part: he had his mask on in a store, nobody else did. Then he got on his motorcycle and rode away wearing the mask but had no helmet!!!!
How crazy is that? His head could be smashed like a pumpkin against the curb but at least he’s wearing his mask for safety.
How’s that Democracy workin’ out?
