Australian Authorities Say Draconian Vaccine Passports Could Last For "Years"

Entertainment venues such as “play centers, gaming and gambling, theaters, concert halls, museums, cinemas, and live music venues,” will also be off limits for the unjabbbed.

Australia has become notorious for becoming the developed world leader in inflicting the most draconian COVID control measures on its population.

So what the hell do the Australians have, what makes them so special that the devil is exerting such an inordinate effort there? Is there some special quality in the people, an unrecognized geographic resource, or are they just easy pickings? Trying to see the big picture.

[devere]

Who knew that Australia was so full of would-be fascist leaders?

[Allegra]

Authorities in Western Australia say their draconian new vaccine passport scheme, which bars the unvaccinated from most public places, is likely to be in place for “years,” because we just get OFF to all this power and control over people.

[fella]

If the Ausies don’t change their leaders soon in 5 years they’ll be speaking Chinese.

[MinorityRepublican]

To Aussies becoming fascist.

[Jeff Chandler]

I’m beginning to disagree with Randy Newman.

[freespirit2012]

I guess they are assuming that the people won’t get sick of the mandates and replace the politicians who are pushing them.

[cgbg]

It would be long before the population is begging the Chinese to come and rescue them.

[Lockbox]

This went from fighting a disease to using Power to claim Total Control.

I believe Australia has been chosen to be a test lab to see how far they can push people. The response by the citizenry should be to set some for some of these jack booted thugs.

I heard a news pundit say if you ask for flu or cold medication in the pharmacy (I didn’t get the name) they will require you take the covid test then and there.

Should have gotten the name but I was searching for weather reports.

“Who knew that Australia was so full of would-be fascist leaders?”

It happens when the guns are taken away!

I heard a news pundit say if you ask for flu or cold medication in the pharmacy (I didn’t get the name) they will require you take the covid test then and there.

Then it might behoove us as Americans to make sure we have a good supply of OTC meds on hand.

And ALWAYS check the expiration date before dropping it in the basket to make sure you get the furthest date out, and know that many meds last far longer than that.

Liquids I would be less sure about, but pills, would not be such an issue.

[MDLION]

“pharmacy”

Wonder if they’re mandating that by law? Otherwise people just go to a competitor. A gazillion pharmacies, Kroger, Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreen, mom and pop independents, on and on. I would tell them why I’m going to their competitor. How fast would it take for profit greed to change the policy?

Guess I’m not going to Sydney or any place else in Australia anytime soon.

[naturalman1975]

If you don’t go to Sydney because of crap being pulled by the Western Australian government, you’d be a bloody fool.

Western Australia is literally the other side of the country from Sydney. It has a completely different government.

The management of the pandemic in Australia is almost entirely in the control of state governments for constitutional reasons.

Americans can’t seem to grasp this simple fact - I don’t know why, it’s not as if the US doesn’t have states.

What happens in WA is utterly irrelevant to what happens in NSW and vice versa. They are two utterly different jurisdictions.

Some state governments in Australia have acted like absolute tyrants, and taken advantage of the fact that Australia’s constitution doesn’t allow the federal government to overrule the states on ‘public health’ matters.

But that isn’t most of the country and tagging Australia as a whole for this would be like judging all of America based on California.

[naturalman1975]

Australia is a collection of six different states and two territories each of which has entirely separate governments.

The Australian constitution gives the federal government authority only over a very limited range of areas. Anything outside those areas is completely under state or territory control. The federal government cannot stop the states or territories doing anything like in those areas.

One of those areas is ‘public health’.

Now, we have two state governments - Western Australia (which is what this article is about) and Victoria (where I live) which have been batcrap crazy and totalitarian about COVID. Both of those states have hardcore socialist governments.

Western Australia is now the most extreme (it’s overtaken Victoria over the last couple of months, as the Victorian government finally became a little bit more reasonable than it had been.)

That is what we are seeing here - the most insanely paranoid of Australia’s state leaders spouting off his nonsense in his state that he has completely cut off from the rest of the country. He is the only one spouting this type of crap about the pandemic going on for years. Everywhere else in the country is now working on the assumption it’s almost over. He’s the one nutty exception.

He doesn’t speak for all of Australia. He doesn’t even come close.
