In the past year and a half, COVID has been exposed a lot, but no country has Tyranny culture Than Australia. Formerly a beacon of freedom, community, and beautiful scenery, the land below has become a dystopian hell landscape, where the government provides residents with one hour of free time a day. The former prison colony has been restored to its original condition.
Nowhere is more obvious than the COVID detention camps currently operating in Australia. Foreign and domestic travelers are forced to enter one of the various metal structures to serve 14 days in prison. There, they are still “quarantined” and can only be transported food by anonymous agents wearing full protective equipment.
This every New York Times.
Howard Springs, Australia-On the 8th day of my two-week stay in Australia’s only remote, dedicated Covid isolation facility, I called my 11-year-old daughter at home in Sydney and asked her how she spent a day at school How about it. All I heard was a long pause.
“Dad,” she said. “Today is Saturday.”
I looked out the window, as if my confusion could be cleared by the brown around me—single-layer metal shelters, paths, bags of food just put down by workers wearing masks. It’s not five o’clock in the afternoon, they are delivering dinner?
This is the life of a former mining camp near the northern end of the country, in a place called Howard Springs-the temporary residence of hundreds of domestic and international travelers who were forced to wait long enough to prove that they were Covid-free.
Australia has given these camps an Orwellian name, that is, “National Resilience Center”, which is more like domestically in North Korea or China. And more are being built to achieve the so-called “zero COVID” goal, but the government has recently begun to admit that this may not be possible.
The so-called collective interest is used as an excuse to justify this serious violation of individual rights. However, the lack of science behind this idea is obvious. Given the validity of the current test and the known incubation period of the virus, what is the basis for the forced detention of someone for 14 consecutive days? However, the Australian government, and perhaps many people living there, have adopted the “safer than regret” approach.
The question is how long do they want to stay in this state? The detention camp strategy seems to be long-term, but are they just postponing the inevitable? It is also worth noting that this strategy does not seem to work.
Since the Washington Post said they had almost eliminated the COVID by believing in science, the number of cases in Australia has increased by 15,800%.
They have risen by 5,863% since Sydney was locked down at the end of June and masks were brought back.

To be fair, the counterattack has already begun.A lot of Scenes of civil disobedience It has been recorded and the truck driver’s strike (partly due to strong opposition to COVID mitigation measures that damage the working environment) has left Bare grocery shelves.
But the Australian government does not appear to have taken any measures, including state governments that promote most of the mitigation measures. They have charted a path of total control and seem to have no intention of giving up this power. Only a continuous public counterattack movement, including in the ballot box, can reverse this situation.
At the same time, the nightmare of many people continues, but ordinary Australians are unwilling to admit how frustrated they are about what happened to them. In the past, many countries have embarked on this path for various reasons. It will never end except for an all-powerful government doing everything it can to maintain control. It’s time to change the route, it’s too late.
As for those in the United States, let this be an example that your own country will never allow.
