    Ya I guess if your like that then you in heaven, I'm not like that.. I don't think it's that I find tragic, it's the way Australians are once again letting Government dictated, mandate, fine and jail people that don't live like you and are more adventurous and crave freedom to go and do what they want without having to be given permission..

    And there it is.. That's why you are Australian and we are Americans.. There are many other examples of our differences but you and I know what they are..

    I have not been infected. I don't need the government mommy telling me how to avoid a virus. I do understand the psychology of feeling safe following the direction of the shepherd. The still get fleeced!

    Using terms like "not an ordinary risk" and "grasping the enormity of it" are misleading. Can you put the risk factor in a percentage?

    You make it sound like free will when in reality, it is the result of government overreach and abuse of power. Perhaps these people oppose being deprived of life to avoid less than 1% chance of death. The frail and fearful can still live in confinement if they choose.

    The lie was through omission…

    Do you know the circumstances under which that guy was arrested? He was most certainly NOT apprehended for simply “going out for fresh air”…. I and dozens of people in my neighbourhood do that every day and we are well within the COVID guidelines. This guy was under a specific quarantine order, which he chose to breach…

    Your own guidelines either contradict what you are saying, or you two are breaking the rules... No worries, I won't tell!

    https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/Pages/public-health-orders.aspx#stay-at-home

    Only one person in the household can leave their residence to obtain food, goods or services once a day. This restriction does not apply if it is not reasonably practicable (e.g. if a parent needs to take their dependent child to the shops with them).

    How very generous of you to allow us to run our own country…

    Idiots? Australia and NZ between them have amongst the best results for dealing with the pandemic, medically and economically. How has your country fared…?

    Mind you, we have missed out on leadership that played the problem down from the outset, we weren’t advised to consider injecting ourselves with bleach, we haven’t been urged to swallow horse wormers as an antidote…..so, yeah….I guess we must be idiots…

    This is too easy…

    I guess it was an oversight on your part that you neglected to mention this part about ‘going out for fresh air’…?.
    • exercise or recreation outdoors in groups of no more than 2 (excluding members of the same household):
      • for exercise or recreation people must stay in their Local government area or, if in another local government area, within 5 kilometres of home.

      • I’m sure it was just an unintended mistake on your part…..right??

    Yet, you like perpetuating a blatant lie....

    And these variants will never go away. You can either live in constant lockdowns or live your lives. Like you said, it's your country and you can chose that type fear forever or man up. I always thought Assuies you tougher... Guess I was wrong.

    No lie….that’s exactly what that fool said…that we should CONSIDER (you’re very good at leaving key parts out that don’t suit, aren’t you) injecting bleach into the body…

    And we’re as tough as anyone else, no better, no worse. But we also share this ethic called ‘mateship’…been part of our National character for some time. Because we are a very small population in a very vast land, we’ve found it valuable to look out for one another.

    You should “consider” it some time…

    Go ahead... Please post where he said to inject bleach into the body! I'll wait as it's 100% fabrication. And the UV treatment he was speaking of, we do today to battle certain lung cancers and has been around since the 40's. He was 100% spot on!

    And yet a huge group of paranoid people have been spraying the fruits and veggies, groceries with BLEACH and in turn ingesting them :) I guess they have never gardened and sprayed with pesticides... Says right on all the bottles "WARNING, do not ingest vegetables for at least five days after spraying" but damned if they don't eat them sprayed with bleach the same day ;)

    It's just IMHO another re-enforced government domination moment... No better time then when citizens are scared, easy there as it's a low pop country very difficult here because of diversity!

    Pretty much, Australian Government new they had them when they voluntarily gave up their right to arm themselves... Anything beyond that is statistically a cake walk when you think about it..

    I don’t allow you anything.

    yea you also lost all your freedoms while I have lived a fairly norma life, enjoying it.

    but by all means, hide yourself away forever lol. It’s your life. Me, I’m loving life and living it to the fullest.

    democrats did drop the ball on the pandemic though

    There's like 2 dozen people in Australia if you did absolutely nothing the results would have probably been better.

    Actually we did let the BLM protests go ahead without any serious criticism. The virus is very interested in the content of your speech, not just whether you're in the streets protesting.
