The French government is showing no signs of letting go of what they have described as being stabbed in the back by the Biden administration and the Australian government over a deal involving which country would provide Australia’s Navy with new submarines.

NSW to trial geolocation and facial recognition app for home-based quarantine

The pilot will be jointly operated by NSW Health and NSW Police and entails a seven-day home-based quarantine program for around 175 people. It will be run across a four-week period and commence sometime this month.

The app will use geolocation and face recognition technology to monitor whether a person is complying with the state’s quarantine rules. It will also provide people with a testing schedule and symptom checker.

The government added that the mobile app would be supplied by random in-person checks and penalties would be doled out to individuals who breach their isolation during home-based quarantine.

Australia’s COVID overreaction could come to US

Resistance to COVID-19 countermeasures has reached a fever pitch. Tractor-trailer drivers on strike. Large-scale protests in the street. Civil disobedience on a massive scale. The government’s reaction is one of Orwellian overreach and efficiency. This is the current situation in Australia — but soon could be happening in the United States.

Australians erupt after PM takes advantage of COVID double standards to see family while millions remain in lockdown: ‘What a disgrace of a leader’

Morrison traveled to New South Wales over the weekend in a private jet to visit family on Australian Father’s Day even as millions in the country remained in lockdown and were unable to visit out-of-state family members, the New York Times reported.

The prime minister spent time in Sydney before returning to Canberra to partake in a national security meeting, an action which critics immediately labeled as an example of double standards.

Yet instead of owning up to the blunder, Morrison defended the move in an interview published Tuesday, telling Sky News that while he understood people’s frustration, his trip did not violate any lockdown rules.

UNTOUCHABLE TRANNIES: LGBT exempt from Australia’s covid lockdown tyranny while cis-gendered must obey

As Australians suffer under the heavy boot of another government-imposed total lockdown, the Mount Druitt Police Area Command in Sydney held a “Wear It Purple Day” pride event in celebration of the Cult of LGBT.

Circulating photos show law enforcement officials densely packed inside a building in direct violation of their own orders not to congregate. They ate cake and cupcakes and partied it up while the people were confined to their homes under threat of punishment.

Australian Authorities to “Lock Out” Unvaccinated From Being Able to Participate in the Economy

Premier Dan Andrews made the announcement during a press conference where he told citizens, who remain under a draconian lockdown and a 9pm-5am curfew, that the unvaccinated will be kept under such restrictions indefinitely.

“There is going to be a vaccinated economy, and you get to participate in that if you are vaccinated,” Andrews said. “We’re going to move to a situation where, to protect the health system, we are going to lock out people who are not vaccinated and can be.”

Australia Traded Away Too Much Liberty

In a bid to keep the coronavirus out of the country, Australia’s federal and state governments imposed draconian restrictions on its citizens. Prime Minister Scott Morrison knows that the burden is too heavy. “This is not a sustainable way to live in this country,” he recently declared. One prominent civil libertarian summed up the rules by lamenting, “We’ve never seen anything like this in our lifetimes.”

Up to now one of Earth’s freest societies, Australia has become a hermit continent. How long can a country maintain emergency restrictions on its citizens’ lives while still calling itself a liberal democracy?
