It seems that was a facility for quarantining returning travelers and infected people from a nearby town.
I'm not excusing that. It's horrible. But unvaccinated people weren't rounded up and imprisoned.
It probably came close to that, however. Like I said, they were frozen out of every aspect of life using vax passes. The rhetoric from major politicians got very bad. I can still remember how scared and angry my Australian friend was at the height of it, and I'm still infuriated on his behalf.
(Edit: I'm sorry, that apparently did happen with one Aboriginal guy. Which makes it technically true to an extent but it's almost more to do with the Aboriginal communities being treated awfully in that state. I guess if you're both Aboriginal and unvaccinated you get it twice as bad.)
The official statement was that it was only quarantine. But even back then, there were multiple accounts and videos of people being visited by police and ordered to be sent there, forced to vacate their houses. Not only at this one location.
I recall reading about how a very similar facility was being built in Canada, in one of the Western provinces. I don't remember if it was British Columbia, Alberta or Manitoba, but around there. Fortunately, the trucker convoy happened before it was completed.
Look up Howard Springs, amongst other places. They literally rounded up certain people, even if they never had covid.
