The Australian government has been on the receiving end of more and more criticism for its Covid response lately, not just domestically but from overseas. There’s a lot to criticize, from soldiers patrolling state borders and policing the streets of Sydney, to people being arrested for merely posting about lockdown protests on social media, to police accessing QR-tracing information and firing projectile weapons at lockdown protesters, to news broadcasters naming and shaming Covid patients who violate isolation orders, to the frequently ineffective hotel quarantine system for travellers being replaced with purpose-built quarantine facilities and Orwellian surveillance apps. The states of both Victoria and New South Wales have begun moving toward reopening after the Delta variant proved zero-Covid goals unattainable even amid strict lockdowns, but will do so by adding Australia to the growing list of nations that have implemented the dangerously authoritarian policy of vaccine passports. www.rt.com/op-ed/534371-covid-free-australia-surveillance/

I hated growing up there. I warned about this sort of thing back in the 80s when I was a kid. My sister got a divorce from a guy who was the embodiment of a sociopathic military/gov

I saw a memo to Sellers on eBay today that as of 09/02 due to COVID restrictions, the U.S. Postal Service was no longer providing service to Australia and any mail in the system was being marked Return to Sender.

Every country has its crackpots but Australia's full of them. The place provides a test bed for experimenting for the States, with its relatively small population for the size of the land.
Easy isolation of whole communities etc.

I say the penal colony gene explains this country's behavior.

Headed at the top by a guy that goes on holiday while his country burns, having refused Fire Service urgent recommendations 8 months before, that would have mitigated quite a lot of the destruction. That goes around after trying to shake the hands of those whose homes have just been flattened, even grabbing one girl's hand who didn't want to shake his hand, and placing in his own.

I'm not a fan of Morrison but to be fair, he isn't the one implementing vaccine mandates, lockdowns, curfews, 5 kms limits from the home and a lot of the other crap. That's down to the individual state governors. Morrison can't override their decisions.

He probably hasn't any idea of what's going on, anyway.

Whatever happened to quiet refusal ? Is refusing quietly the typical NZ attitude to being raped and murdered?
