"Tomorrow there will be a massive protest in australia and truckers from all over the country will be blocking roads everywhere, how do you think the protest will go there?" Only read about in the daily mail so how much truth is in it God knows. He comes across as a total fruit cake. Surely he won't get that much support. | |||

"My sister is in WA... no concern there about truckers blocking roads! If they get a positive covid in the area they then shut that area for say 5 days. It’s worked a lot better than our country!! " The NSW premier seems to be giving up on stamping it out. Fabulous  | |||

It doesn't mean bold brave noble freedom fighter. It means moron." You mean they prioritise covid over living normal life? There’s more to health than covid. Their zero covid stance is not sustainable (particularly with their low vaccine rates), you’ll see. Most people here can’t comprehend why people are that worried. Totally understand the old and vulnerable being worried, but most are now just going about their life normally. That was the idea of the vaccine, to get us back to normal. For most, thankfully, whether choosing to have the vaccine or not, they’re getting on with life and enjoying it. There’s some weirdos who live their life worried about it and can’t seem to get on with stuff anymore (as this forum proves, lol) but for most the stats are completely in favour of getting on with life, particularly if you’ve been vaccinated. Most people now can’t understand why you’d be worried about covid. Get on with life while you’re still here. Or don’t, and spend it scared forever, begging for more rules and restrictions and longing for harsher rules. Most are choosing the former thankfully. | |||

But some on here love it! Revolve everything around covid, dont go out, triple mask, love restrictions, vaccinate but still not safe etc etc. Some are too far gone. You just got to laugh. They’ll still be the same in ten years. | |||

"One of my friends in the middle of Sydney posted a quote by Nelson Mandela. "For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others." In the UK we are prioritising the protected, the strong, and the unafraid. In Australia they're protecting health. I consider the UK unfree, just in a different, more pernicious way. "I'm fine so fuck you" is not any freedom I want anything to do with. So caring about the vulnerable makes me a vile segregationist authoritarian fascist, I'm sure. Double plus ungood "Nope, in Australia they’re protecting against covid over all other aspects of health, including mental health. Caring about the vulnerable doesn’t make you a fascist. Segregating society does. The vulnerable have been vaccinated, if we can’t get on with life now, we never will. I say we, some never will. They’re too far gone, life is simply covid covid covid to them. That comes above everything….. Live life while you’re here, get the jab if you’re worried, don’t if you don’t want to.

The authorities also shot and killed dogs and puppies to prevent the volunteers collecting them from a dog rescue centre … Yes, the police there look like something out of star wars. I have always said that they have been "outrageous" during lockdown they also sprayed anyone during the other protest and one police was going from left to right very quickly, almost like they were afraid of something, it was on the news too. .... and firing rubber bullets at a crowd of protestors. Anyone with covid and isolating has to mark their home by displaying a notice. Parents are not permitted to accompanying their children for vaccination. Children have been forcibly removed from their parents." Do you have a link or evidence that children are being forcibly removed from their parents to be vaccinated? | |||

"One of my friends in the middle of Sydney posted a quote by Nelson Mandela. "For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others." In the UK we are prioritising the protected, the strong, and the unafraid. In Australia they're protecting health. I consider the UK unfree, just in a different, more pernicious way. "I'm fine so fuck you" is not any freedom I want anything to do with. So caring about the vulnerable makes me a vile segregationist authoritarian fascist, I'm sure. Double plus ungood
Nope, in Australia they’re protecting against covid over all other aspects of health, including mental health.
Caring about the vulnerable doesn’t make you a fascist. Segregating society does. The vulnerable have been vaccinated, if we can’t get on with life now, we never will. I say we, some never will. They’re too far gone, life is simply covid covid covid to them. That comes above everything…..
Live life while you’re here, get the jab if you’re worried, don’t if you don’t want to. But live life, or there’s no point.
I'm living my life. Living my values.
If the only version of freedom is the one you're espousing, then I'll fight against freedom until my dying day. You can shove it.
I do not value my freedom if it is at the expense of others. I take my communal responsibility seriously. And I fear that we've forgotten that.
Lol. My version of freedom is enjoying life and not segregating society. And you say I can shove it? Lol, you’re too far gone. I got to admit I feel sorry for you.
It’s not at the expense of others. The vaccine is available to all. Get it if you’re worried. The vaccine is to help us to return to normal. Most people are doing that. Bars, nightclubs, footy grounds, restaurants… all full of people living life.
So if you want to “shove” that version of freedom and let covid dictate your life while sitting all day every day on a covid forum, go for it! But spare us the sanctimonious high horse drivel.
I shall speak as I choose, thank you.
If you don't like it, you're welcome not to read it. If you have a problem with how I spend my time, you're welcome to ignore me and mind your own business.
Enjoy your "freedom". I find it vile and segregationist and I'm glad Australia has not yet stooped to such barbarism.
Maybe drinkypoos football and holibobs are the new opiates of the masses.
I don’t have a problem with how you think, I just totally disagree with it. And I’m glad most are getting on with life.
Funny how you think living life is barbaric yet firing rubber bullets at protestors is virtuous. It’s incredible.
Sport, going out, and holidays are amongst the fun things in life that people have always done forever.
You spend your time as you wish, just let others do the same. Thankfully, most are."And fortunately the Australian government is protecting its people. Australians all, let us rejoice, for we are one and free | |||

Personal responsibility "And many believe they have the personal responsibility to look after mental health, jobs, and spend time with loved ones. I wonder, how many years will you still have this stance? You could spend a fair whack of your life not doing the things you used to enjoy. Your choice obviously, but it’s going to go on and on…. My guess is you won’t be doing those things even in another 3-5 years. Your choice obviously, nothing wrong with it if you want to miss out on normal life. | |||

You need to redact your statement on children being forcibly removed from their parents though "I corrected the report of the forcibly removed child in the post you replied to. - 24,000 children vaccination - press conference by nsw.gov.au (just for clarity I didn't suggest the vaccinations were being given against their will, just that the person delivering the press conference indicated that no parents would be permitted to accompany their child) - Rubber bullets being fired into protestors - Live coverage of the Melbourne Anti Lockdown protests - ABC News - Puppies and dogs being destroyed - The Sydney Morning Herald - Homes to be marked - 9News Adelaide | |||

Well, if you think that this will be segregation I think you are wrong. Because the vaccine is free and available to you anytime you want. Should you choose to have it, you wont have any issues in getting access to these places. Where there was true segregation in the past, for example in South Africa, the people who were segregated where segregated due to their race and not because they were not refusing to get vaccinated. So segregation is wrong choice of word. Too strong. Not appropriate. Nonsense. You’re justifying it. You’re giving people the choice of losing their medical autonomy or being segregated. It’s gross. This is where I disagree. I wanted to do the vaccine to,protect myself. In a way I was forced to do it as I could see a lot of wackos who did not take covid seriously. But I did not see it as losing my medical autonomy. I did not want to get seriously hospitalised (or at least significantly cut down the risk) and I took the situation in my hands by having the vaccine. I repeat, I took the situation in my hands. It is only people who do not want to get the vaccine who use words like segregation, apartheid, nazism etc to overdramatise the situation. They are a bit like drama queens. Sorry of this sounds a bit harsh but that’s the way it looks. " Your first paragraph is how it should be. You made your own assessment. Spot on! The banning of people from places removes that choice. That’s what is gross. And there are many many people who have had the vaccine that are totally against banning people who haven’t. Makes me laugh that you’re classing people as drama queens who may be excluded from some places, yet the drama queens are those crying out for more restrictions and coercing vaccines on others to make them feel safe. You’re a drama queen and a fascist. Sorry if that sounds harsh but…. That’s how it looks! | |||

" Are you really naive enough to think all those against segregation are anti vaxxers? Is it really so easy to divide society into two? Vaxxers and anti vaxxers? Is nuance lost on you? I’ll help you as it’s clear you’re struggling to get that it’s not black and white. There’s many people who don’t want this vaccine at present, but will in time. There’s many who have had tons of vaccines, but don’t want this one. There’s many many who have had the vaccine but don’t believe others should be coerced into it. Abc they’re all anti vaxxer? It’s so easy to see how propaganda works on people. Divide and rule, and suckers fall for it. | |||

" Not really, because I can not recall you were against passports. I believe that you havent been vaccinated but whether you have or not is not my problem. I am just staring at the reality or at least the possibility that you for whatever reason may be banned from some venues/activities or at least be asked for some extra tests. You are likely to be inconvenienced to say the least and this to the eyes of the majority is not segregation or fascism or whatever else comes to your mind. | |||

You’ve assumed, as I’m totally against passports. But there you go, you’ve fallen for the divide and rule…. I hope, and suspect, that there will be no consequences in the end for anyone who chooses not to have it. I suspect that a negative test will be an alternative, which excludes no one, and is the right thing to do. I’m not angry in the slightest, I just despise segregating people and removing their medical autonomy. You are so far gone there’s no turning back for you. Not really, because I can not recall you were against passports. I believe that you havent been vaccinated but whether you have or not is not my problem. I am just staring at the reality or at least the possibility that you for whatever reason may be banned from some venues/activities or at least be asked for some extra tests. You are likely to be inconvenienced to say the least and this to the eyes of the majority is not segregation or fascism or whatever else comes to your mind. " Lol, my entire debating on here has been anti passports (without the option of a test). Literally my entire stance. I couldn’t care less if anyone else has the vaccine or not. It’s a very good choice for many people. “In the eyes of the majority….” Not one for minority rights then, as well as medical autonomy? The alternative of a test is a tiny inconvenience, and is totally reasonable. | |||

"For similar reasons, this minority is using the word oppression when it comes to masks. But I do not think the majority use the word oppression. Nobody like wearing them but it complememts other measures. You may see segregation and oppression but the majority, at least in the UK and in Australia do not. I don’t see segregation. Long may that continue. Very glad you came to agree with me. I didn’t. I’ve never said segregation exists at the moment. Come October that may be different. And if it is, it’s disgusting. Should this happen, in what way do you think this segragation may take place in October? What have you read or heard? We’ve discussed this regarding the proposed banning of people from some places if they choose not to have the vaccine. It’s well documented in the news, as I’m sure you’re aware. Well, if you think that this will be segregation I think you are wrong. Because the vaccine is free and available to you anytime you want. Should you choose to have it, you wont have any issues in getting access to these places. Where there was true segregation in the past, for example in South Africa, the people who were segregated where segregated due to their race and not because they were not refusing to get vaccinated. So segregation is wrong choice of word. Too strong. Not appropriate. Nonsense. You’re justifying it. You’re giving people the choice of losing their medical autonomy or being segregated. It’s gross. This is where I disagree. I wanted to do the vaccine to,protect myself. In a way I was forced to do it as I could see a lot of wackos who did not take covid seriously. But I did not see it as losing my medical autonomy. I did not want to get seriously hospitalised (or at least significantly cut down the risk) and I took the situation in my hands by having the vaccine. I repeat, I took the situation in my hands. It is only people who do not want to get the vaccine who use words like segregation, apartheid, nazism etc to overdramatise the situation. They are a bit like drama queens. Sorry of this sounds a bit harsh but that’s the way it looks. Your first paragraph is how it should be. You made your own assessment. Spot on! The banning of people from places removes that choice. That’s what is gross. And there are many many people who have had the vaccine that are totally against banning people who haven’t. Makes me laugh that you’re classing people as drama queens who may be excluded from some places, yet the drama queens are those crying out for more restrictions and coercing vaccines on others to make them feel safe. You’re a drama queen and a fascist. Sorry if that sounds harsh but…. That’s how it looks! Thanks for that, but unlike real fascists I am not attacking physically people for not agreeing with my beliefs. Another inappropriate use of word, maybe you should check what the real fascists were doing. Then you will get a real idea how fascism really looks. Something more akin to what the 200 wackos did at the bbc and itv offices. Forcing their lunacy to other people with violence. The rule of the mob. You can have fascist elements without being a full blown 1939 nazi. I’m not saying you’re anywhere near that level, obviously. But you are up for forcing vaccines on people or they face consequences… not a nice look. I am not forcing vaccines on anyone. They are not my vaccines. And I did not decide on the consequences. It made the choice to have the vaccines long before the consequences came into the picture. And thankfully, I am exempt from these consequences. You made a different choice. Up to you if you want to wait 6 months or 16 months or forever. In the meantime though, you will have to face some consequences. And you have to accept these consequences. It is not segregation, it is not fascism. The majority of people do not see these consequences as such. It is something which you will have to get used to it and live with it for the foreseeable future. Where is your motto? Get on with live and make the most of it? You do not seem to do that when you sound so angry? I said “up for forcing”… in other words supporting it. The best thing about this is you don’t know if I’ve had the vaccine! Lol.

"The fact the country has turned into a medical police state, something out of a dystopian sci-fi movie.Yes and what I think that we are witnessing in austrailia is the fall of democracy and transitioning into a police state there."

"From the country we’re discussing!..... First I’ve heard of it. The only kids that can have it have to be 12+ and be aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders.

It would appear the video of a covid positive child being forcibly removed from their parent was not connected with Covid, but was in fact related to another matter.
The vaccination of 24,000 children without parents present, the wanton destruction of the puppies, Covid positive homes to be marked, shooting rubber bullets - all verifiable via the Australian news outlets.

I’ll happily read them.
You need to redact your statement on children being forcibly removed from their parents though
I corrected the report of the forcibly removed child in the post you replied to.
- 24,000 children vaccination - press conference by nsw.gov.au (just for clarity I didn't suggest the vaccinations were being given against their will, just that the person delivering the press conference indicated that no parents would be permitted to accompany their child)
- Rubber bullets being fired into protestors - Live coverage of the Melbourne Anti Lockdown protests - ABC News
- Puppies and dogs being destroyed - The Sydney Morning Herald
- Homes to be marked - 9News Adelaide
"Puppies/Dogs being euthanised at a shelter which is well over capacity, some of those dogs had shown aggression and were therefore not fit to be re-homed. That happens in England too you know! 15 dogs in total... a shelter that legally uses euthanasia, a shelter which was already over its capacity. No news there really! The point I’m making is that you’re sensationalism of these events is part of the propaganda issue! In the UK many many people had COVID positives signs at their house to protect visitors/posties/ delivery persons etc It’s not news... it’s common sense! | |||

"One of my friends in the middle of Sydney posted a quote by Nelson Mandela. "For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others." In the UK we are prioritising the protected, the strong, and the unafraid. In Australia they're protecting health. I consider the UK unfree, just in a different, more pernicious way. "I'm fine so fuck you" is not any freedom I want anything to do with. So caring about the vulnerable makes me a vile segregationist authoritarian fascist, I'm sure. Double plus ungood
Nope, in Australia they’re protecting against covid over all other aspects of health, including mental health.
Caring about the vulnerable doesn’t make you a fascist. Segregating society does. The vulnerable have been vaccinated, if we can’t get on with life now, we never will. I say we, some never will. They’re too far gone, life is simply covid covid covid to them. That comes above everything…..
Live life while you’re here, get the jab if you’re worried, don’t if you don’t want to. But live life, or there’s no point.
I'm living my life. Living my values.
If the only version of freedom is the one you're espousing, then I'll fight against freedom until my dying day. You can shove it.
I do not value my freedom if it is at the expense of others. I take my communal responsibility seriously. And I fear that we've forgotten that.
Lol. My version of freedom is enjoying life and not segregating society. And you say I can shove it? Lol, you’re too far gone. I got to admit I feel sorry for you.
It’s not at the expense of others. The vaccine is available to all. Get it if you’re worried. The vaccine is to help us to return to normal. Most people are doing that. Bars, nightclubs, footy grounds, restaurants… all full of people living life.
So if you want to “shove” that version of freedom and let covid dictate your life while sitting all day every day on a covid forum, go for it! But spare us the sanctimonious high horse drivel.
I shall speak as I choose, thank you.
If you don't like it, you're welcome not to read it. If you have a problem with how I spend my time, you're welcome to ignore me and mind your own business.
Enjoy your "freedom". I find it vile and segregationist and I'm glad Australia has not yet stooped to such barbarism.
Maybe drinkypoos football and holibobs are the new opiates of the masses.
I don’t have a problem with how you think, I just totally disagree with it. And I’m glad most are getting on with life.
Funny how you think living life is barbaric yet firing rubber bullets at protestors is virtuous. It’s incredible.
Sport, going out, and holidays are amongst the fun things in life that people have always done forever.
You spend your time as you wish, just let others do the same. Thankfully, most are.
And fortunately the Australian government is protecting its people.
Australians all, let us rejoice, for we are one and free
They’re protecting them from covid. They are not protecting them from anything else.
As for your last sentence, the covid religion has truly got you hasn’t it. All worship the cult! Lol." .spot on. | |||

"No sensationalism on my part - these are press conferences given by government officials and events being reported in the Australian press and media. These outlets consider it news. (In the case of the dog killers, cover it up with whatever opinion or notion you have in your mind however, "the Office of Local Government has been informed that the council (Bourke Shire Council) decided to take this action to protect its employees and community from risk of COVID-19 transmission". They didn't want the volunteers collecting the dogs, so they shot them instead!) | |||

"Tomorrow there will be a massive protest in australia and truckers from all over the country will be blocking roads everywhere, how do you think the protest will go there? What do you think will happen Shag? Have you seen any other news reports from Australia on how they are dealing with/ enforcing the lockdowns?I am not sure what will happen and yes I have seen abit of how they are dealing with it from the news, like with with the police there, they have also deployed hundreds of soldiers to sydney to help to enforce it. The authorities also shot and killed dogs and puppies to prevent the volunteers collecting them from a dog rescue centre … Yes, the police there look like something out of star wars. I have always said that they have been "outrageous" during lockdown they also sprayed anyone during the other protest and one police was going from left to right very quickly, almost like they were afraid of something, it was on the news too. .... and firing rubber bullets at a crowd of protestors. Anyone with covid and isolating has to mark their home by displaying a notice. Parents are not permitted to accompanying their children for vaccination. Children have been forcibly removed from their parents.Yes. I saw they fire rubber bullets and used pepper spray to and yes. I heard about how they take the children from the parents which is not good, there seem to be a protest in melbourne too, alot of it can be seen on telegram as well. Just to confirm Shag, the report of the child being forcibly removed from the parent is true, but it is not related to Covid infection. The other reports mentioned are correct "I see yes, lets hope that the situation there will be better soon too | |||

"Some people live in fear of imaginary government conspiracies, I choose not spend my life being afraid of shadows." Isn't that what non vaccinated are doing? Not living in fear of, or being afraid of, the shadow of covid? That's the message I get from those I speak to. Not a mention of conspiracies. I respect their choice and their reasoning behind it. | |||

Interesting to think that the unvaccinated are afraid … I suspect that the unvaccinated are also not afraid of Covid. The only difference it appears between vaccinated and non vaccinated is the vaccinated may be at a lower risk to be hospitalised, it can still be caught and passed on, and also still have a possibility of ending up In hospital, what’s everyone fighting about again… Maybe the unvaccinated have yet to say thank you to the vaccinated for offering their bodies to science as test subjects  its lucky so many have because We would not want it to effect the future of human freedoms

"What they have done is closed their borders, the wolf is at their door, and will always be at their door, even if and when the population get vaccinated how are they going to open their borders, this is going to be a long time and with huge consequence to the country. And now it’s in the way they want to stamp it out and stamp it out heavily brushing aside all other aspects of life, you have to let your children go out into the big bad world at some point and learn how to deal with consequence of their actions good or bad, and that it will effect others, that is a fact of life, not keep them inside and tell them they will die if they go outside. Humans have faced this time and time again, and we are here to tell this story so far. " Yes, they closed their borders. That's not the story you were telling not that long ago. As to the rest - ok.

Another clever benefit that the people gain, is from the enormous wealth of evidence that's been amassed throughout the rest of the world, for treatments of the sick, as well as preventative strategies that work. People getting il from this point have more drugs that are known to work, preventing higher death rates etc.
Most people with any sense would prefer to have covid from now, rather than at the start of the pandemic. | |||

"Even the government iof Sweden admitted failure halfway. And then they took more strict measures. Maybe not as strict as the UK ones, but they did. AND they vaccinated their people. Thank God for the vaccines. And it worked for them. But they gambled. Just imagine if Boris had pursued the herd immunity at the beginning.

He was in power since 2014. With the exception of Trump who still thinks the election was stolen. | |||

"... They didn't want the volunteers collecting the dogs, so they shot them instead!) The volunteers or the dogs? No prize for guessing which would cause the most public outcry."

"Australia is a perfect example of a state exceeding it's given powers, where state controlled television can propagandise citizens into thinking it's in their own good, this isn't new, it's been used by authoritarian leaders for a hundred years and many states still do it. Individual freedom has been whittled away for decades sadly and I don't think we'll get them back as easily as We're lead to believe." Oh we’ll get our individual freedom back when the govt is overthrown and anarchy rules | |||

"Maybe I can help put it into perspective, This of parents and children- parents being government, As a parent you want the child to learn what you want to teach them and have good intention of what you teach You own the child’s freedom and decide what they can and can’t do and what they learn and what activities. The child is free to play in their way within the boundaries that you set, free to play in a good way if they don’t they are reprimanded. Something taken away If you leave the child to play how do you know they will continue to play in a good way or not, you don’t - so you put a camera But this relies on you to be watching that camera and listening to them, you have more opportunity to see if they continue to play good so you catch more incidents and control them as you the government see fit. Imagine then you place on the child technology that can capture every details of their minds thoughts and intentions and that it can be interpreted so you capture the intention of not playing good…. If the child plays good it’s all fine, if it intends or plays with a child that I known to be bad you would know. Nothing so wrong here so far. But what if the parent decides that the they don’t want the child to play anymore, and that child can only sit and stare at a wall that’s what the parent seems as play, the parent have all the control in place required to deal with that child if it does not follow that parents instruction and will be punished. We are the children…. " yes but we are not living in china or north korea where you cant change your government when you want.Your so called parents are voted in and out by "the children" and are only in control as long as they want them to be. | |||

Freedom of assembly,habeus corpus being whittled away, freedom of speech, being held without trial for 90 days, even the act of being questioned by the police for a non crime wrong speech, the list in long and it's the frog in the pan being slowly warmed up syndrome. We've always maintained you have more to fear from your state than a stranger with a twisted ideology but we realise there's citizens that want protection from life and there preyed on by people in power. | |||

How about all the freedoms gained women's rights, discrimination rights (of which there are many) 50 years ago you could be locked up for being gay for fuck sake etc etc. Freedom of speech? how has that been taken away unless you think people have the right to spread hate ,racism and homophobia.  | |||

"Tomorrow there will be a massive protest in australia and truckers from all over the country will be blocking roads everywhere, how do you think the protest will go there? What do you think will happen Shag? Have you seen any other news reports from Australia on how they are dealing with/ enforcing the lockdowns?I am not sure what will happen and yes I have seen abit of how they are dealing with it from the news, like with with the police there, they have also deployed hundreds of soldiers to sydney to help to enforce it. The authorities also shot and killed dogs and puppies to prevent the volunteers collecting them from a dog rescue centre … " I’ve just read the story on this - it’s disgusting. To ‘protect the people against coronavirus ’ they chose to execute a number of dogs rather than transfer them to another town to be rehoused. The towns in question had had 1 covid case and 7 covid cases respectively - over a period of time - not at once. I have nothing but contempt for anyone who thinks this action is justifiable. Apparently the state authorities are now ‘considering’ whether the executions constituted animal cruelty. | |||
