They went from “flatten the curve” to “put your hands behind your back” so quickly we didn’t even notice.
This morning in Melbourne..
Day 4 of the Victoria Police war on Facebook posts.pic.twitter.com/xj7M7t4H8W

Earlier: Three police officers showed up at a young mother’s house to interrogate her about a Facebook post telling Melburnians to go for their daily walk. Megan Kira, 27, called on everyone to go for their hour of exercise allowed under Stage Four lockdown at 5pm every day in their local park.
I’ve observed, over the decades, that Australia’s government has become more and more overreaching but this is reminiscent of the Stasi.
Oh please don’t defund the police. They perform such a valuable service.
Worthless, low IQ, jackbooted thugs one and all. Every time a cop gets cancer baby Jesus smiles.
You are a moron. That is all.
Sorry Art, but his description is becoming more accurate everyday, and we should be both sad and concerned.
Ugh, sure what is your favorite tasting jackboot polish?
Who pays for such vile nonsense? I’m guessing it’s no longer the dairy council
Aussies are an interesting bunch. Wild Wild West on one hand and absolute sheeple on the other. Victoria state is definitely the worst. Mandatory interstate quarantines etc. But the others are not far behind.
I was in Adelaide (one province to the west) the first week in March when the toilet paper pandemic hit. Insane, fights in parking lots, stealing TP from shopping carts… total madness. That week the lead story on every newscast national and local was that a truck had overturned on the motorway and caught fire… it was carrying a full load of TP.
Don’t expect Oz to open up until mid-2021.
Don’t expect it to ever go back to normal. We’re next.
I would have beat them both to ground and forced the police to beat me to the ground. I am older than them and hate people like that. I hate most Canadians because they are like that.
Holy crap. You REALLY need to read the draconian measures undertaken by the Labour gov’t of the State of Victoria. What the hell are Australians thinking? I thought they were a bit more like Americans than Canadians in their love of independence.

We’re talking:
– dusk to dawn curfew.
– One hour a day exercise (no more than 5km from your home)
– Work permits – must be carried with you
– Mandatory masks anywhere in the State
– Cyclists must remain within 5km of home – with roadside police checks.
And much, much more.
“One hour a day exercise (no more than 5km from your home)”
Convicted felons in Victoria prisons get an hour and a half.
But at somewhat less than 5km, right?
No Guff …
Those measures are reminiscent of the USSR with travel permits etc. It is really sad and disturbing to see a civilized society turn into a communist/totalitarian police state virtually overnight , but then again the first thing the Bolshevists did was disarm the populace and then proceed to kill unarmed opponents.
I really never expected to see communist/totalitarian authorities take over so quickly , but that is inevitably where Progressivism leads.
Coming to a commonwealth country near you.
This is the same country that screwed over Cardinal Pell so perhaps one should not be so surprised.
The evil part of the necessary evil.
I don’t know about the antipodean police, but up here I think you have to pass an asshole test to become a cop.
I’ve got a bro who is a retired cop. 98% asshole. Haven’t spoken with him in 40 years.
NJ cops have an exceptionally entitled mentality, FWIW
What should one expect when its people keep electing left wing political parties like the Australian Labor Party.
“Hewwo, Bwenda? How thoon can the AwTheeMP do the thame thing?”
Canada’s no better. We have allowed the government into a position where we now fear them, more than they fear us. Hard clock to unwind, and things are only getting worse as canadians clamor for more babysitting.
Funny, how inept do you have to be that you would want to turn over your freedom and responsibility to some dweeb from the rcmp or govt bureaucracy?
Johnboy:
I beg to differ. Here in Canada:
– No dusk to dawn curfew. No curfew at all.
– No one hour a day exercise (no more than 5km from your home) limitation
– NO work permits – Do not have to be carried with you
– Yes, one must wear a masks entering facilities As an immune-compromised person I can live with that. May die without.
– Cyclists do not have to remain within 5km of home – no roadside police checks.
And much, much less.
Aussie federal and state governments are appalling.

I agree. What happened to Cardinal Pell was a total miscarriage of justice, driven by anti-Catholic bigotry.
“– Cyclists do not have to remain within 5km of home ”
That is not necessarily a good thing. 5m (not km) should be the max allowable distance away from home for a spandex clad prostate masseur.
“– Yes, one must wear a masks entering facilities As an immune-compromised person I can live with that. May die without.”
Ugh maybe, maybe not. The jury on masks is still out to put it mildly. But it is not important, your safety, you staying alive is not important. Or to put it in different words your health and safety is not a good enough reason to force others into wearing masks. Within publicly owned buildings? Sure. Within privately owned buildings? Government can and should f*** right off.
What’s particularly offensive is these fascist twats did NOTHING to the organizers of BLM protests.
Birds of the feather…
Cops, BLM, Australian Labor Party are all authoritarian thugs, why would they interfere with each other?
I must admit surprise when I read of this, because yes as above, I thought they were more freedom oriented than they actually are. It’s even worse in the UK. Pretty sickening when you can’t have an opinion anymore unless it’s their opinion. For conservatives, there are fewer and fewer places we are welcome. Soon there will be nowhere for us to live with our preferred way of living and lifestyle. What a sad end result the human race has become. It’s a pity that you need many years of wisdom and reflection to come to the conclusion that the conservative ideals are the true way things should be.
Beating down honest people is easier than dealing with dangerous violent criminals.
No wonder they sent 4.
In other Wuhan Flues News, the miracle of nobody getting the Bat Soup Fever at Sturgis is explained with this one simple image:

Befehl ist Befehl!
(Orders are Orders)
Joo will comply!
This is the reason that the Free States of America will never disarm.
I know it is Al-Guardian (below) but if the poll is correct then Victorians are getting what they deserve (pity few sane ones are caught among the sea of skullf***ed).

These are CRAZY TIMES, appears democratic and liberty governance is toast in many supposed free enterprise juridictions/countries.
My Q, where the heck do you go, to have freedom, limited non stasi govs/agencies?? And reasonable taxation/theft levels. The whole world has gone crazy it appears. Places believed rational, liberties assured, no onerous taxation/fees/theft of earned wealth, where is that, where to go.
Yeesh, gettin tired of tail wagging dog, PC environment, massive debts, deficits, and taking from those who worked a lifetime to build/save/succeed. Any ideas??
Where to go, soon, my question. Thoughts folks. Just asking 🙂
In the Republic of Buffalo,after the “cleansing”,otherwise known as the great exodus of gravy train riders,when the new borders are chosen.
There is no promised land to retreat to,one carefully prepared by other peoples foresight and hard work,cause we let it fade away.
At our current level of parasitic load,we either kill off the parasites or die.
Canada has chosen death and we in the West never even got a vote or even asked.
Canada left me,but still demands the right to continue stealing from me.
So? Australia voted for the power outages, the police over reach, all of it.
They know what they wanted, when they were in the voting booth. They deserve to get it.
The words the man was searching for were … “probable cause”. What was the probable cause for these stormtroopers bashing down his door?
I’m interested to find out how many Aussies show up for Saturday’s “protest” against their rogue Government assault on civil liberties and freedom. Now we know why they disarmed the populace prior to this assault… lesson learned, thanks Hitler. Are there any Aussies left who are brave enough to tell their Government that these measures go too far, or has the Governments thuggish jackbooted policies sufficiently frightened the populace into compliance. I guess we”ll find out Saturday.
Once a penal colony…
Weird,I swear those two baldheaded gits,impersonating policemen are the same two who interviewed Ezra a while back.
The double dipping party operatives,acting on “Behalf ” of elections Canada.
Or are they all clones?
Whats that gamers acronym for a character who is actually part of the scenery,but never deviates from its role?.
“NPC”, non player character
This all began in Australia when they decided to give up gun rights. That mental midget exercise foretold of this kind of thinking and behavior. They are now reaping what they sowed and I’m not sure they can fix it. But it’s definitely broken.
Yep, looks like the Australian CCP Gestapo was out in full force assaulting protesters for protesting for freedom and arresting anyone who dared to fight back. Protest for freedom and the CCP Government of Australia will brutalize you and arrest you, protest for Marxist BLM and get CCP police protection. China has completely taken over the Victoria Government of Australia. Congrats to the few freedom protesters that fought back against the corrupt cops and their Chinese bosses. One thing the terrorist BLM Marxists have correct, cops are mindless, corrupt assholes that will turn into NAZI’s with the wave of a corrupt leftist politicians hand. Too bad Aussies were disarmed. I look forward to the next Marxist mob beating the shit out of a cop… fascist assholes.
I would like to see those of us outside Australia put up profiles with whatever names we want and list our addresses as Melbourne, and we can all say we’re going to the next protest. The police will have to use all their time and effort figuring out which accounts are fake and which are actually people in Melbourne. They will be swamped. This would be a lot of fun to organize.
