Riot police firing rubber bullets into lockdown protesters. Rescue dogs being shot to prevent volunteers travelling to collect them. Nighttime curfews and one hour of exercise per day. Five-kilometer travel limits. Soldiers patrolling suburbs to enforce lockdowns. Health bureaucrats advising the citizenry not to stop and talk to their neighbors while walking their dog.

They’re building massive Covid quarantine camps in Australia. Prisons, but for innocent people.
But don’t think about that part. Think about all the construction jobs. And the meals are locally sourced!
For the finest internment camps, ask for Wagner Corp. internment camps! https://t.co/7NNPGO6yup

Victoria’s sixth lockdown is set to be extended by at least a week as a group of MPs push for Dan Andrews to concede a zero-Covid target is unrealistic and lift some of the harsher restrictions.
Senior ministers told the Herald Sun residents and businesses should hold little hope of coming out of the scheduled lockdown-lift on September 2, given the rate at which the virus is spreading.
For YOUR SAFETY, we’re sending you to a camp away from everyone.
No need to worry, it’s for the greater good, nothing to see here. https://t.co/o57gWK9DFs— Ezra (@EzraCeleste) August 26, 2021

Australia’s leaders are making a disastrous, idiotic, and irrevocable mistake. It is a mistake in which leaders sacrifice both the soul of their democracy and the well-being of their citizens on the altar of a false god: the god of Covid-Zero. They have claimed that this sacrifice is necessary to keep citizens safe, that it will keep them safe, and that there is simply no other choice. But each of these claims is a lie. As with all such idolatry, their sacrifice will bring them no favor. It has brought, and will continue to bring them, only ruin.

A $35K fine for sixty people who gathered in an “illegal” church worship in Sydney. A group of rescue dogs that were shot by a local council so that rescue center staff would not travel to pick them up under the guise of Covid restrictions. Police firing rubber bullets at lockdown protestors. Despotic state premiers refusing the prime minister’s call to reopen once 80% vaccination rates are achieved. Homes of Covid sufferers in South Australia to be marked so that their neighbors can rat them out to police if they breach tyrannical stay at home orders. Celebrities offered cash payments by government to promote the pro-vaccine propaganda line. The military ordered onto Sydney streets.
Why are we surprised? Did anyone think during a plague crisis, real or imagined, that our government would react in any way other than the most stupid, ineffective and damaging? Look at their prior form over the last sixty years. At all levels of government, from the federal to the state and to local councils, the results speak for themselves. A consistent rate of public failure. And underneath all, a foundation of endemic corruption.

The video starts with a man who has COVID and apparently doesn’t care, with video showing him coughing alone in a ‘public lift’ without covering his mouth. They have a warrant for his arrest.
Then we have ominous words from the police chief. He says this man is an example of the “worst of the worst”.

Several impounded dogs due to be rescued by a shelter have instead been shot dead by a rural council in NSW under its interpretation of COVID-19 restrictions, alarming animal activists and prompting a government probe.
Bourke Shire Council, in the state’s north-west, killed the dogs to prevent volunteers at a Cobar-based animal shelter from travelling to pick up the animals last week, according to council’s watchdog, the Office of Local Government.

This is the way you build resilience in an economy – no-notice intermittent shutdowns.

As lawmakers continue debating reparations in the U.S., Australia’s prime minister said Thursday his country will pay millions of dollars in compensation to Indigenous people forcibly taken from their families.
For decades, a debate on reparations has been ongoing in the U.S., but it gained renewed attention last year as people around the world marched in protest of the death of George Floyd, a Black man who died in May 2020 [of an OD-Ed] while in Minneapolis police custody.

The cafe page on Tripadvisor has a majority of very negative comments. Some users criticized the lack of hygiene of the local and the staff (“it seems like the management trawled homeless ghettos for their staff and then did not pay them enough to afford soap or razors,” one client says), and there are also critical of the high prices of the products and their poor presentation. But the most striking are the complaints of disdain for male customers: “Spend half an hour trying to get a waitress to come over and when they finally showed up they told me I’d have to wait because I was a “cis gendered white man” and there were women who needed to be served first. According to the waitress I’d have to wait until ALL women in the shop were served before they’d take my order, even those who came in after me. I left at that moment and will never return,” a client says. Another user complained in November 2018 of the cafe policy: “extreme toxic femininity and literally attempting to make men feel bad.”

Things are really super sketchy in Australia. The covid restrictions have been getting increasingly more intense, as a result two weekends ago massive protests started. However, this past weekend thousands of police were deployed in rings around metropolitan areas to stop people from assembling to protest. At the same time this past weekend, Google blocked Sky News from uploading news feed to their YouTube channel.
JUST IN – Australia sends in the ARMY to enforce it's "Zero Covid" lockdown: Soldiers and police will patrol Sydney alongside helicopters with blaring sirens telling people to disperse or they’ll get fined.https://t.co/rILo4TEXAb

New South Wales Police Commissioner Mick Fuller requested the support of 300 soldiers to ensure greater compliance with Covid restrictions. Let’s rephrase that to what it really should read: the head of punishments on the plantation of New South Wales has called in 3oo more enforcers to ensure the slaves remain obedient and compliant to their masters.
