While I appreciate getting more information about Australia out there, sorry, your post headline isn't helpful.
"People in South Australia ..." sounds 100% like all people in South Australia.
Obviously, this applies to people who have been quarantined. That makes a difference, don't you think? Why didn't you actually write "Quarantined people"?
Look at the responses. Look how many people LOVE to rag on Australia, based on totally fracked up ideas, based on actual misinformation, and just go off on rants, instead of actually looking at what is going on.
How many people actually read the article to find out the true context and meaning, instead of just bouncing off your post title?
Are you helping? Seriously, I've been on the Great Awakening since the start. Was on GA reddit, was on all the VOATs, and then on here, but I feel like fricken dumping this place because of all the CRAP fake and inflated rubbish that gets thrown here regarding Australia.
Does it help?
We are REALLY fighting for our lives down here, and people just post trash about Australia... to get the upvotes? to get reactions?
Sorry, I consider your post actual MISINFORMATION, because what you have done here is everything that the fake news, the corporate and state news and frankly, the Australian governments now do.
Give partial information, create uninformed wrong impressions and uses that to direct the narrative.
PLEASE. Help by posting information, but make it CLEAR. Don't sensationalize. Don't just go for the reactions you get, but post and share actual helpful info.
These measures by your government are egregiously authoritarian and a clear violation of human rights. You say it’s just “quarantined people”, as if it’s just fine to violate someone’s human rights because they’re allegedly sick.
If you aren’t going to die on this hill, then what will it take? Will you still beg and comply when they drag you and your children off to a “quarantine camp” indefinitely, like they do in China?
I will never stop calling out creeping authoritarianism when it rears its ugly head, no matter how loudly little despotic cheerleaders like you try to chant me down.
There's a misunderstanding here. You are certainly welcome to your opinion, but if you think I'm a despotic cheerleader, your either mildly delusional, or you really have no ability to comprehend clear writing.
There is NO question that the measures are "egregiously authoritarian and a clear violation of human rights". I 100% agree.
You say it’s just “quarantined people”, as if it’s just fine to violate someone’s human rights because they’re allegedly sick.
Here's where you reading comprehension has failed you. It is NOT fine to do violate someone's human rights because they are (allegedly) sick. We both agree on that, and we also know that the C19 rubbish is just that - rubbish. People "have C19" when they are not even sick! Right?
Now, I have no idea of your level of education, or whether you simply take ANY criticism as offensive and therefore react emotionally and thereby shut down your reason.
The point, and let me make this unequivocally clear, was that YOUR headline, either deliberately or mistakenly, virtually said - or at least, gives the direct impression, that "Any and All people in South Australia will be forced to do X".
Look at the responses, and you can see that this is how people read it.
ALL I am asking for is not sensationalist click bait content, but accurate content.
YES, these horrendous measures, actions and policies need to be exposed, highlighted, and then countered. We perfectly agree on that point.
What I am asking for is your support for the Freedom Fighters in Australia but posting ACCURATE information, and not sensationalist headlines that completely mislead readers as to what is actually happening here, and to who.
Heck, maybe you're simply just an immature 20 year old who is passionate and yet who really doesn't know how to read. I have no idea.
You know, if you had used the headline "Quarantined People in South Australia will be forced to download an app that combines facial recognition and geolocation. The state will text them at random times, and thereafter they will have 15 minutes to take a picture of their face in the location where they are supposed to be. Should they fail...
I would have said absolutely nothing in response to you, and would very likely have commented about how wrong it is, about how it is an ongoing pattern we see all over this country. I mean, I might have commented if I wasn't so fricken busy every day fighting the totalitarian bullshit OUTSIDE my actual door.
Can you see the difference between being IN this actual fight, in one's own community, with one's OWN government (like some of us are) and simply posting on an online forum?
Believe me, its very different.
I'll leave it there.
Fingers crossed, you'll actually understand what I'm saying at this point, and then maybe we can both work together to "call out creeping authoritarianism when it rears its ugly head", something we are BOTH clearly keen to do.

Frankly, I'm begging you.
You Aussies sure do a lot of begging.
I will not comply.
You should not either.
