New rules passing in the Australian state of Victoria could see "conspiracy theorists" and those "suspected by health authorities of
being likely to spread the virus" detained in quarantine centres, according to
The Age.The rules are amendments being added to the Omnibus (Emergency Measures) Bill, which was
first passed back in April.
The proposed detention would last
"for the period reasonably necessary to eliminate or reduce a serious risk to public health".
To translate that from bureaucrat into English:
it means as for long as they want, or can get away with.Legislation with this kind of vague verbiage is always a red flag, but then Victoria is currently over-flowing with warning signs of this kind.
VICTORIA - THE WORLD'S FASCIST TEST RUN?Maybe you haven't been following exactly how bad things are getting in Australia - and most especially Victoria - but
they have essentially aggressively seized their opportunity to create a fascist micro-state. A social Petri dish, in which to culture some tyranny.
They have declared both a "state of emergency" AND a "state of disaster"
for a disease which has killed fewer than a thousand people in 9 months across the entire country.
For a sense of perspective, in 2018
over three times as many people died of influenza, and the same number again committed suicide.
As of right now Australia has
just 16 cases of coronavirus
classified as "severe".
Comment: Actually, the take home is that before theorizing about the spread of a virus one needs to study more than linguistics. Although the author isn't alone because Western governments have become notorious in their nonsensical and tyrannical rules about how to 'stop the spread', such as wearing masks when walking into a restaurant but not when eating, that meals must cost a certain amount, or diners must be in groups of less than six, all situations that somehow, according to our ponerized and demented officials, prevent virus spread.
