I live in the city that had the most draconian lockdown measures of anywhere on the planet. Moreover, I was intimately involved in local activism during the years 2020 - 2022.
So yeah, I deny the characterization of "concentration camps", firstly, because I know the reality about actual concentration camps, whether you are talking Soviet Union, Nazi Germany or North Korea, etc., and secondly, I know a fair amount about the places that spawned the 'concentration camp' narratives.
These quarantine 'camps" existed, I think about 3, and this was for people who arrived in the country during a specific period of time, to put them into quarantine for a specific period of time (3-4 weeks, I think). Where they wrong. Sure. Stupid? Yes. Were the rights of the few hundred people restricted to them trampled (edit: a few thousand). Yes. And so were the rights of millions and millions of Australians.
But I'm seriously curious what your concept of these is, and what picture you have in your head. Because being in actual ground zero, I know a LOT about the reality of our lockdowns, and this also made it pretty obvious when sensationalized narratives took flight and got spread around clickbait-style in overseas reports with all sorts of non-Australians just believing any old hype they heard.
I know the details of the lockdown measures exactly, because I lived through them. And this makes it easy to spot the fake narratives that get spread because of sensationalism.
The lockdowns here were the worst in the world, but overblown fake narratives don't expose the truth. They dilute it.
If you are interested in knowing some of the details of how the lockdowns screwed us over, I'd be happy to describe them. But 'concentration camps' were not part of the mix, thankfully.
Full disclosure: I guess I'm a bit prickly about this because a) it's directly personal and b) I have a solid peeve about fake news narratives that tend to afflict anons and those of us who have started to exit the matrix.
