The liberals love a good crack down on civil liberties.
I prefer Old Zealand anyway
Are these nuts still locking people in their gaffs?
The world has moved and these lads are 18 months behind, what number lockdown are they on in Australia? 6 or 7 is it?
Arresting lads with no mask on at the beach.
New Sealedland
Lads I’d clean up if I was on twitter
You’re over-estimating the twitteratti
Very dangerous behaviour
Very Selfish
The benefits of opening up are clear. New Zealand and Australia would be mad to reject this.
Freeeeeedom
Pseudoscience is bought and paid for.
On 9 April 2021, Open Democracy reported that Oxford University professor Sunetra Gupta, a critic of public health measures to curb covid-19 and a proponent of “natural herd immunity,” had “received almost £90,000 from the Georg and Emily von Opel Foundation.” The foundation was named after its founder, Georg von Opel who is the great-grandson of Adam Opel, founder of the German car manufacturer. Georg von Opel is a Conservative party donor with a net worth of $2 billion. “Gupta’s arguments against lockdowns—and in favour of ‘herd immunity,’” the report further noted, “have found favour…in the British government.”
This is not the first time billionaires aligned with industry have funded proponents of “herd immunity.” Gupta, along with Harvard University’s Martin Kulldorff and Stanford University’s Jay Bhattacharya, wrote the Great Barrington Declaration (GBD), which, in essence, argues that covid-19 should be allowed to spread unchecked through the young and healthy, while keeping those at high risk safe through “focused protection,” which is never clearly defined. This declaration was sponsored by the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER), a libertarian, climate-denialist, free market think tank that receives “a large bulk of its funding from its own investment activities, not least in fossil fuels, energy utilities, tobacco, technology and consumer goods.” The AIER’s American Investment Services Inc. runs a private fund that is valued at $284,492,000, with holdings in a wide range of fossil fuel companies (e.g. Chevron, ExxonMobil) and in the tobacco giant Philip Morris International. The AIER is also part of “a network of organizations funded by Charles Koch—a right-wing billionaire known for promoting climate change denial and opposing regulations on business” and who opposes public health measures to curb the spread of covid-19.
I’m so thankful for my government when I read stories like this. Those poor people.
Ah come off it. They’re overjoyed to be dead. After all, it’s “freedom”!
LOLZERS
It’s like 80s East Germany but with spiders and creeks.
Ah stop
