Here's a young woman describing the experience of being taken to and held at one of Australia's Covid Internment Camps.

Howard Springs is the only facility even approaching a built for purpose quarantine facility. It's not ideal but it is better than the 5 star hotels when the air conditioning actually spreads the virus. Tourist hotels may sound great but being confined in one of their bedrooms for 2 weeks is pretty unbearable without fresh air and room to stretch your legs for a bit of exercise. Especially if you are in there with your children.

It's hot in Darwin and quarantine is tough but the people who were allowed into Australia when our borders were mostly closed knew that that was one of the conditions of entry. They also knew that they would be charged for the accommodation, not compensated for their time.

The story about losing her job is nonsense too. If she was Australian who had not been overseas and found to be a close contact of someone with Covid, she would have been required to self quarantine at home, with support, and could have resumed her job when it was over. If self isolation was not possible, she would have been admitted to a quarantine hotel at no expense

Thanks, Warrigal!

Posting willy nilly without knowing the facts makes you a what????

The girl lied. She was taken to Howard Springs. She has a grudge against the police because she lied.

She then approached UnHerd to" tell her story" - of course they welcomed her. She worked with them to make the propaganda video.

It is not good to tell lies. Sooner or later they will be found out. The truth always wins!!!! Now she has no job.

My sister lives in Australia and I have sent her this video to see if it's true. If she says it's true, then it's true. She's been telling me about everything going on there and they really have it bad. They will get fined if they are not vaccinated.

I also live in Australia and I have a wonderful life down under. I sail, I love the place so much we recently bought a house. As soon as travel is freer from France, our sons and grandchildren will be visiting.

I also say, I agree with everything the Australian government does to keep its citizens safe. Everything!!!

You don't get fines for being not vaccinated. You may (or may not) be fined for making false declarations about your vaccination status or for insisting on entering premises where proof of vaccination is required or otherwise flouting the mandated restrictions.

All you need to know is here from a legal aid site -

COVID-19 and fines | Victoria Legal Aid

Why was I fined?​

The Victorian government has declared a state of emergency and given new powers to the Chief Health Officer. The Chief Health Officer, or the person they authorise, can make directions that must be followed, the same as laws.

The directions everyone must follow change regularly. To see what directions apply now, see directions issued by the Chief Health Officer.

It is important to look at the dates in the directions as the rules changed on different dates. If you were fined for something that happened before these directions started, you should check what directions applied then.

Who can give me a fine?​

There are different agencies making sure the Chief Health Officer’s directions are followed. Police and other authorised people can fine you if you do not follow these directions.

We say ‘police’ in this information because it is most likely to be the police who give you a fine. However, the same rules and processes apply if you are fined by someone else.

If police think you are not following the directions, they can choose whether to fine you. Police may give you a warning instead of a fine. It is up to the police. If you are fined, you will get a document called an infringement notice.

What if I do not agree with the fine?​

Police say they will review (check) each fine given to people for not following rules about COVID-19 coronavirus. It is possible that police will withdraw (cancel) your fine. However, you cannot be sure police will withdraw your fine, so you should take action before the payment due date. This is usually 21 days from the date police gave you the fine.

You can ask police to review your fine. If you ask for a review, the police have 90 days to review your fine. You do not need to pay the fine while you are waiting for their response. You can ask for a review if:

  • you think police made a mistake giving you the fine. For example, what you did was not against the law, or the police thought you were a different person
  • you have a reasonable excuse. The law says you are not doing anything wrong if you have a reasonable excuse for not following the directions
  • there were exceptional circumstances. That means there was something very unusual or special about what happened
  • you have special circumstances that meant you could not understand or follow the directions. Special circumstances include mental illness, intellectual disability, drug addiction, or if you were experiencing family violence or homelessness.
You can apply online to request a review or contact Fines Victoria.

Police may agree or refuse to withdraw your fine. Police may withdraw your fine and give you an official warning instead. A warning means that police say what you did is against the law and you must not do it again. You can only ask police to review your fine once.

If police continue with your fine, you have four options:

Fast forward to 6.31 if you wish to see inside one of the cabins at Howard Springs. This guy came from India, he was put up first in a five star hotel, then taken to Darwin. He does not look imprisoned to me !!!

I've been trying to get an appointment to get a booster shot and there seems to be a shortage. King Sooper's doesn't have any openings, for the Pfizer brand shot anyway. I managed to get an appointment two weeks from today at a Walgreens after not grabbing two other openings fast enough. I checked on Google maps where the Walgreens was located and by the time I tried to book it, somebody else had taken it. That happened twice. I got in on the third try at a not so convenient time or location, but I figured I'd better grab it before it was gone.

So if there's such a scarce supply, why the hell are we shipping vaccines overseas?

Maybe they're paying more overseas.

I would suggest that there may be a limit to how much a Walmart can handle in one day.
It it a mass vaccination centre with lots of trained staff?
 
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced mandatory Covid-19 vaccination for all Greeks above 60 years of age before a cabinet meeting in Athens on Tuesday, in an effort to tackle the new omicron variation threat ahead of the festive season.

Those who refuse to get vaccinated will have to pay a monthly fine of 100 euros ($114) for each month they don’t get jabbed, starting on Jan. 16, according to Mitsotakis. The penalty will be imposed by the tax authorities directly to those who haven’t been inoculated and the funds collected will be given to Greek hospitals fighting the pandemic. “It is not a punishment,” Mitsotakis said. “I would say it is a health fee.”

In Greece, only 60,000 among the 580,000 unvaccinated people over 60 years old received the vaccine in November. Greece’s vaccination ratio in this age group is around 83% compared to Portugal’s 98%, Mitsotakis said.

Thats harsh, really. Blatant lies. Come on where is your sense of consideration in a conversation. Not everyone that posts the opposite of your standing are spreading lies. You are so quick to denigrate others which is an unattractive characteristic to have. Maybe try a little less punishment without proof when responding to others.
