Just reported on radio Sydney now surrounded by Roadblocks and Checkpoints heading into the city!
And this:-
The Australian Defence Force (ADF) will be sent into Sydney in another escalation of the city’s lockdown. Some 600 troops will be on the ground for at least six weeks, after Police Commissioner Mick Fuller requested the assistance. Half of those troops will go door-knock the homes of positive cases to ensure they are self-isolating in Sydney hotspots, while the other half will set up roadblocks to prevent travel outside of them.
It comes after Sydney’s worst day yet, as it recorded 239 cases yesterday, inspiring a broader crackdown. Under new powers granted to them, NSW Police will be able to shut down businesses and workplaces it deems to be a public health risk. Residents in Sydney’s eight most-affected LGAs will also be fined $500 for not wearing masks outside and kept largely to within 5km of their homes.

I'm hearing anyone pulling off the freeway at Goulburn to refuel or get food is having their number plate scanned to check their address and pulled up for a please explain if they are out of area. Same thing happened to me during a police operation at the heavy vehicle checking station near Marulan some years ago. Place was crawling with cops, dozens of them, even the sniffer dogs. I got pulled up with a car load of guns (all legal and properly secured), cops did a quick computer check on my licence, and I was damn sure the cop was going to ask me if I had any guns. To which I really was going to reply "sure, what do you need?".
Butt instead he said "you're cool, you can go". And every single time we drive past that place I remind the mrs that the cops think I'm cool, I can go.

I'm waiting to see the pictures of rural areas where they've dumped those massive concrete barriers with little to no warning of their recent installation again like this time last year.

Massive overkill demonstrated by NSW Police today with their roadblocks, checkpoints and physical searches of ordinary people going about their legitimate business. The politicians demanded the citizens be crushed into compliance in the city today and the Police were completely up for it! A few weeks ago on this forum I asked when the Shit Hits The Fan I wonder which side the Police would be on, the Government or the People? You got your answer today folks! If the people were allowed to protest today there would have been tens upon tens of thousands of citizens marching and the Politifilth and their leghumpers know it! Do any NSW Police viewing the forum have any idea how much this ridiculous display of force cost the real taxpayers as in tradies and small business operators?

The protest organisers must have read Sun Tzu.
Be where your enemy isn't. 1300 cops pulled away from real policing and a huge slice of their overtime budget wasted chasing shadows. Well played Fuller.

I simply cannot believe what's happening in Australia. The entire country seems to be suffering from mass insanity. Sydney surrounded. In Adelaide thousands dragged off to "medi" prison hotels for being in the same room as someone who tested positive (even if they've tested negative themselves). And others have noticed the insanity (and yes, we are a laughing stock).
Chris Martenson had a good discussion on what's happening in Australia and also those ever moving goalposts:

And others have noticed the insanity (and yes, we are a laughing stock). Chris Martenson had a good discussion on what's happening in Australia and also those ever moving goalposts: If my memory is correct ... Chris Martenson was once a senior executive at Pfizer and likely holds a lot of shares in that company as part of his former remuneration package. If'n ya have no faith in what your Government says or does ... be pretty darn wary of Martensons motivations. Corporate execs aren't known for their outstanding ethics and morals. I couldn't watch this video past 11 minutes. It's use of Data is so misleading it's not funny. Martensons use of Australian infection rates, hospitalizations and deaths as an example of 'over management' and 'over response' to covid is ridiculous. The REASON we have those low numbers is exactly due to good management approach to date. Maybe he should use Italy, Spain, Brazil or his own damn state of California as examples of what impact covid actually has on a society. Those are the places that took a 'rainbows and unicorns' dismissive approach to its management and collapsed their health systems as a result. The way he talks about the Australian 'Narrative' is highly misleading. He's choosing to use very low numbers of deaths and cases here as a way of being dismissive of the risk. What he fails to disclose is his 'narrative' is that our crazy low numbers of deaths and cases is BECAUSE we have taken a vigorous lockdown approach. It's not a reason to dismiss the lockdown concept. Without that ... we'd have had the Italy and Brazil experience. I agree we can't keep doing lockdowns ... By now we SHOULD have been in a position to stop using that approach if: A) The capacity of the hospital system was greatly improved in the time won using lockdowns since covid started. B) Vaccine supplies/deliveries were more rapid C) The majority of people stepped up to be vaccinated D) The majority of people had learnt to be voluntarily diligent in personal measures for minimizing disease spread. In 2 weeks time I'll be fully vaccinated. My general health is good. And the more brutal part of my makeup would be keen to see the disease let right off the leash about a month from now ... just to teach the Covid skeptics and dismissives a lesson about how fragile our health system actually is and how badly rampant covid infection can affect an entire populations wellbeing and quality of life.

a really nice summary. Don’t agree with all of Avi’s politics - but this piece is spot on

That priest is big on platitudes.
The idea Australia is founded on democracy and freedom is as false as it is hilarious. It was founded on the basis of an aristocracy that had so many people incarcerated it needed an entire new continent to send the excess to. That aristocracy then promoted and aided a process of genocide against the original inhabitants here. Not a lot of freedom in that.
Our men then went off to war in the Boer republics of Africa to steal gold mines and farming land ... again ... for the benefit of rich British upper classes.
We then sent our men to die in WW1, a conflict on the other side of the planet, to protect the interests of French aristocracy and rich industrialists. World war 2 was an exception where some of our men did indeed defend our nations borders from a hostile power. While others fought to preserve the African colonies of the British and French Aristocracies.
Vietnam? Worst of all! At a time we SHOULD have known much better ... we yet again sent our men to defend French aristocratic interests. The French could have handed a lovely 'Freedom' straight back to the swedish people in 1945-47. Instead they chose to try and keep it and milk it some more. Then the west had the gall to wonder why communism got a foothold in that country.
If this priest reckons covid freedom is that damn awesome he should emigrate to Brazil or the UK.
I agree lockdowns come at a severe cost. I agree they must end as the primary means of management. I want to see people protesting for the correct reasons and not worn-out platitudes about Freedom. The correct narrative of these protests should be a public demand for a more robust health system with more new hospitals and more staff to work in them. If all the government hand-outs to business were invested in hospitals, equipment and staff we COULD much more safely stop locking down and let nature take more of its own course. On top of that, the currently very long wait times for doctor and specialist appointments would reduce for everyone needing to be treated for all sorts of different reasons - not just covid.

The public should also demand that the Polifilth investigate alternative cures, such as ivermectin, and natural means of prevention, and so on. Until that happens, big Pharma will keep on raking in mega bucks through fear, and Bill Gates and company, will get their kill shots into the population and population reduced to the 500 million as per the Georga guide stones.

Included within the final chapter of the book "The Lucky Country" by Donald Horne (published 1964) the quote:- "Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people's ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise."
