Yes, this is from the Guardian. I'm no fan of them, but it is, surprisingly, one of the few outlets to cover this in depth (there's political reasons for that, but I won't go there)...

I don't think anyone has posted this here, yet, so I thought I would.

I won't post my usual views on the subject, or pass judgement on it. I'll leave that up to you.

I also won't reply to comments, probably, unless I can offer information that might be useful to someone, or something... Again, this is just to "make others aware" of what is happening. Beyond that, again, I leave the discussion up to you.

And finally, this will probably be my last post, potentially, at least for a while, so... Enjoy, and go to town, I guess.

I know nothing in Aus makes sense right now, but I really don't get why you wouldn't allow people to leave the country (I mean I can in a "we can't let our subjects be exposed to freedom" kind of way but it can't be that bad over there, can it?) Not allowing people to enter the country at least makes sense.

Also

According to the 2016 census, 49% of Australians were born overseas or had at least one parent who was born overseas.

What the fuck, Australlia?

let herd immunity develop

The WHO redefined herd immunity to mean when a certain threshold of the population get the jab. Wikipedia changed their description of herd immunity from a generally understood biological concept to "a theory that some researchers hold". The health minister of Sweden was shamed for attempting it.

The best-case scenario of why everyone collectively lost their mind is that governments and politicians are incompetent. They've simply been reacting to the mass hysteria in the public by trying to pretend they're doing something. We cannot expect consistent logical behavior from them. Meanwhile the authoritarians, big pharma, and the media have taken advantage of the situation and nobody is standing in their way.

Um, the politicians were the ones working lock-step and sync with the hysteria-inducing media in order to illegally enforce lockdowns. It's why people like Whitmer is being sued for the over-extension of her powers; there was nothing "incompetent" about what she did, it was all deliberate. Done with malice.

And just to give you an idea of how much malice, they specifically went after people defying the lockdown to "make examples" of them so others wouldn't defy the lockdown orders: https://wbckfm.com/emails-michigan-ag-nessels-office-corrupt-vindictive-office/

Keep in mind that this is part of the same group who have been working to attack anyone exposing the election fraud: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/11/huge-exclusive-michigan-ag-dana-nessel-sends-cease-desist-order-journalist-demanding-erase-detroitleaks-video-showing-voter-fraud-training-face-criminal-prosecution/

And the courts are all in on it: https://krdo.com/politics/cnn-us-politics/2021/08/04/lawyers-sanctioned-for-conspiracy-theory-election-fraud-lawsuit/

We could attribute incompetence to their methods if what they were doing wasn't deliberately evil.

You're seriously advocating for a hard lockdown? No. I will never place my faith in the government.

Maybe when our government consisted of men that proved their loyalty and reinforced their devotion to the community daily.

Now? 350 million people, many idiots, voting in fake elections? Never.

What the fuck, Australia?

Immigration from Europe was heavily encouraged until the early 70s.

Are those Australians? Or "Australians?"

Australia is full of poisonous parasites and vipers all just wanting to cause you harm. Also, it has dangerous wildlife, but that's aside the point.

If the corrupt police notice, leaving without government authorization would mean having to seek asylum until you can demand a pardon as you will likely have an outstanding hidden warrant should you ever return...

Just thought I would add: I've seen it written in the community of people following this in Oz that there is an amassing of military vehicles at a base west of Brisbane (which is in lockdown)...

Now, this might mean nothing, but with soldiers on the streets in Sydney, and a general controlling the (increasingly forced) "vaccine rollout", it is a little worrying...

Well, I personally am worried, at least. My idiot parents, though (as an example)? Perfectly fine with it.

Anyway, technically Australia has no provision to declare martial law, so if it does happen, it would be "unofficial"... But the fact that it COULD happen is what scares me. We're already a fair way towards that, frighteningly, after all...

I wish I could say the Yanks were coming to bail you out, but we've got our own tyranny problem to deal with before we're able to help anyone else.

The world's lost the plot, and we're all going to have to find it again on our own.

Good luck, and godspeed.
