Australias larrikin culture cannot exist without authority. we thrive on authority.

its the exact same reason why the covid restrictions need to be absolute. you just end up with fuckwits finding loopholes to exploit because we love getting the better of authority. we want to simultaneously skirt the laws while also throwing the loving book at anyone who breaks them.

it is in our fuckin genetics. it is our reason for being. we exist to be smart arses.

the tweet about a list of rules that are OK for me to break and a list of rules that other people should be murdered for, with some overlap on the lists, is the most accurate 140 characters ever spoken about australian culture.

Why can't we hold police to higher standards? Lying to another officer should get you benched, then investigated, and if proven true - fired. And if a cop does commit a crime, there should be a crime called committing a crime whilst being a cop' and it should add a mandatory 1 year to whatever sentence you got. Oh, got off on probation? Great, you still get a year locked up dick head.

Mate who works at a Sydney KMart says they all get their news from tiktok and bless him, but he still thinks it's all some kind of nebulously defined conspiracy.

Can't help but think that leaking real stats on the platform can only legitimise the nonsense. Maybe that's reactionary on my part, but it still seems dumb.

Story is a few days old but it's weird that all these non-citizens came into the country, brought covid with them and nobody cared

https://thewest.com.au/news/coronavirus/us-soldiers-in-nt-declared-close-contacts-c-3399336.amp

quote:

A planeload of US military personnel in the Northern Territory have been declared close contacts after a fellow passenger tested positive for COVID-19.

The infected woman, who is a serving member of the US Army, arrived in Darwin on Thursday July 8 before being diagnosed with the virus late on Monday.

The 22-year-old is one of about 9000 foreign service personnel in Australia for the Talisman Sabre 2021 military war games, which started on Wednesday.

More than 17,000 military personnel from Australia, the US, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Japan and South Korea will take part in TS21.

The majority of the mock war games are scheduled to take place in Queensland and off the east coast of Australia.

UK, Canadian, Japanese, and Korean service personnel have quarantined in Sydney. Other foreign troops have been billeted to Brisbane hotels, a spokesman said.

Pretty cool that Queensland was demanding that arrival caps be cut while making space for foreign troops to quarantine in Brisbane hotels.

Yes I am mad about everything relating to border issues because I have a sick grandparent overseas and a partner I haven't seen in 18 months and have no loving idea when I will see either of them, that partner also has 8 cases of covid in her immediate family that live right nextdoor and I'm trapped in this loving place forever because scotty didn't buy enough loving vaccines. It's cool that everyone in this thread has been able to live a happy normal life most of the time, it'd be even better if Australians could have their happy normal lives while actually having any empathy whatsoever for people separated from their loved ones.

I've made 2-3 posts on that issue, my only issues with the QLD, WA and VIC premiers are that they have consistently been at the frontline of wanting to decrease the cap on arrivals, the WA premier going so far to attack individuals travelling to see family members, without even considering how difficult it can be mentally to go so long without seeing them. My issue with Queensland comes from the "holiday-maker" narrative the premier pushed which was thoroughly disproven, but everybody just took as gospel.

Literally the only reason I defend Gladys at all is because she has consistently emphasised that it's important to continue to reunite families, while most other premiers in the country have completely ignored people in my position. My posts have been angrier lately just because I've been stressed as gently caress about all the covid positive people I currently know in a country with an overwhelmed healthcare system.

Im sorry your situation sucks but the blame lies at the fault of a federal government who refused to consider better quarantine locations and who have failed to deliver timely vaccine. Cutting incoming caps seems a prudent decision given none of these states want to be locked down.

The federales have been very successful in making quarantine a state issue when it is clearly the responsibility of the commonwealth, according to section section 51 of the constitution. Unless the power to make laws doesn’t include the power to give a poo poo, or offer any practical solutions whatsoever.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Lets add some fuel to the fire of the guy complaining about how certain places have slashed the numbers of people arriving in Aus.

Two people that have been allowed in, that have been deemed to be more worthy of being allowed into Australia than Australian citizens stranded overseas and actively trying to make it back to see their families are:

Katie Hopkins and Caitlyn Jenner.

https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/katie-hopkins-admits-to-breaking-hotel-quarantine-rules-in-sydney-20210717-p58al3.html

And the Californian Governatorial candidate/vehicular murderer has been allowed both a visa and an entry permit to do such important work as appear on Big Brother.

Dunno why the Hopkins oval office is in Aus. Don't care, so long as she fucks off soon and takes her racism with her.
