The video is crap - legitimate news surrounded by ridiculous spin

Pointing out the NAZI's told their prisoners the first day they were there for a medical checkup.

Yes, the Nazis did certain things. Australia isn't doing most of those things and it's ridiculous to make that comparison.

These people that test negative for covid are being "quarantined".

A small number of people who were living in the same house in overcrowded, unsanitary conditions as people with infections are being quarantined to see if they become infectious. Once the incubation period is over, they will be allowed to return home if they continue to test negative. If they test positive they will be treated, if needed, and tested until they return negative tests. Then they will be allowed to return home.

Those that escaped will likely face maximum fines.

Possible, but unlikely. They may not be fined at all and if they are, it is very unlikely to be the maximum.

The Aboriginal Australians are claiming this is a land grab. What happens when they can't pay their fine? Will they lose their lands?

A few people have made that claim. They are wrong. There's no mechanism by which their lands can be taken under these laws. There are other laws that could be used for that purpose if somebody actually wanted to do that, but those laws are not being used. Because that isn't what is happening. And, no, failure to pay a fine could not lead to loss of the type of title these people have.

A ‘penalty unit’ is $222 under Commonwealth law, multiplied by 300 (maximum units) equals $66,600

First of all, I don't get where you get this 300 multiplier from. You haven't provided any evidence for it. I doubt it's true, although you may have been lead to believe it.

Secondly, Commonwealth law is irrelevant in this case - Northern Territory is what applies. A penalty unit is currently $157 under Territory law. I only mention the difference because it just illustrates how you do not know what you are talking about.

you claimed the maximum fine for extremely poor people living in large communes was $5000.

Yes. Because it is. This is a fact.

It was higher then I thought. you keep claiming the max is $5000. yet I give sources.
Level 3 at $222 per unit from the link I gave earlier.
2,400 penalty units is the maximum units you can get under level 3 which equals $532,800 for escaping. There is no way in hell a poor person can come up with that. You wonder why they think this is a land grab?
