Lol, you still determined to prove your ignorance.

Who would have thought that such a simple thing as the definition of a word would be something controversial. But thems the times we are living in.

Oh and are you still pretending the people of Australia are in quarantine too?

idk, Your government may have an objection ...

Freedom House.org/countries and territories
Australia
Overview

"Australia has a strong record of advancing and protecting political rights and civil liberties. Challenges to these freedoms include the threat of foreign political influence, harsh policies toward asylum seekers, discrimination against LGBT+ people, increasingly stringent checks against the press, and ongoing difficulties ensuring the equal rights of First Nations Australians.
Key Developments in 2020

To combat the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, Australian authorities enforced long, strict lockdowns at different times throughout the year. In some instances, restrictions like the closure of internal state and territory borders were implemented with little warning; in December, the border between Victoria and New South Wales was closed with just over a day’s notice, stranding many people who were visiting family for the holidays. Individuals who needed to cross state borders to access health care and other essential services had difficulty obtaining exemptions."
No, they will have no objection. Were you hoping to make a point???

The moment a booster shot was needed means that deaths will happen as soon as efficacy starts to wane. Lockdowns will need to be permanent fixtures to avoid large scale deaths as vaccines only provide a limited amount of protection.
Nice touch, with the "moron" personal attack to make a rather stupid assumption based upon nothing more than your personal opinion.

There are a lot of communicable diseases we've been taking vaccines for. We've been taking these vaccines in some cases for over 70 years and moved on from the general lock-downs and quarantines for all of those from measles through diphtheria and tuberculosis to poliomyelitis.

Medical science does not sleep just because you're afraid of it.

Anyone with half of one percent of a brain would know this.

I agree with much of what he says, but again, it is State issues with the exception of the outward travel ban which is appalling.

But for most of the country, none of what he mentions is reality.

But the hyperbole about tyranny and worthless citizenships is just more of the same drivel.

Haha, but no I don't think all of the measures are temporary. The unvaccinated will probably be stuck with a number of them

80% (vax availability) will be the big difference. You will start to see the relaxation happen in NSW for the vaccinated very soon.

I'm sure you will all be back to tell us that it's just a coincidence that we had low death and hospitilisation rates too.

Anything else I can help you with, mate?
It is the level of intellect that comes from the muh freedom crowd. Thank goodness they are a minority in the US and here.
