Where are the "my body, my choice" advocates now? Conspicuously absent, once again. This fucking nanny + police state is completely out of control (tanning beds are banned, here, too, as is a lot of manga and anime. Yes, tanning beds), and this is another brick in the wall...
A lot of nefarious shit was announced, today, including QLD likely going back into lockdown over SIX (!!) cases, and the cancellation of our main international cycling event, NEXT YEAR...
So France, Italy, Germany and Spain can ALL have their big cycling events, with a crowd, in 2021, but Australia, fucking Australia, can't even have the race, in fucking 2022...
I realise that most people here won't care about cycling. That's fine, but it isn't the point. The point is that what this means is clearly the government has no intention of opening borders, even by fucking JANUARY 2022, which is four months away. It also means they obviously have no intention of allowing the return of large-scale sports events (except the ones they can bet on, of course, like AFL, NRL and fucking cricket), even next year... That's important, because Australia now has one of the highest vaxx rates in the world, will likely have reached AT LEAST 80% (forced) vaccination by then, and yet they won't even allow us THE ILLUSION of some sort of "normality", let alone anything actually resembling it, in reality...
That's it. I give up on Australia, today. I knew this day would come. It just came EVEN FUCKING SOONER than I thought.
Suggestions for where to seek a "working holiday", to get out of this nightmare..? The US doesn't offer them, so... Outside of the US/Mexico, would be good...

I wish the grand final got cancelled. Maximum lulz.
Ha! Yeah right! The bogans in charge need their footy fix! Oh but want to protest the government? That's a super spreader!
