If it seems like only a few weeks ago when Australia was kicking out an international tennis star for not being vaccinated, that’s because it was only a few short weeks ago.
However, with a massive surge in COVID-19 cases ongoing, and heeding urgent instructions from the WEF group, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announces the land down under is now going to launch a new and improved tourist campaign.
Apparently, the Aussie government is concerned their modern ‘prison camp‘ island image might have a negative impact on visitors.
In an effort to overcome the global image of Australia forcibly locking people in quarantine camps, conducting manhunts for the escapees, shooting people with rubber bullets for not wearing masks and beating people in the streets for non-compliance, the Morrison team is going to spend $60 million on a ‘Happy Oz‘ media campaign to get tourism back with no vaccinations required.
We can only imagine the new two-year ad campaign:
“Come to the New Australia, We Won’t Shoot Now – Swear”. Or…
“We Only Club the Locals, Mate.”
“The Aussie Courts are Open Again, and This Time We Mean It, Tennis.”
“Come Back, Come Vaxxed, or Not – Who Cares?”
“We’re not as Roo’d as you might think”
“Camping’s Great, Come Visit Our New Facilities”
“See, You Really Can Comply Your Way Out of Tyranny”
.
Growing up a USAF brat… there were still places I wanted to travel to including Australia.
After witnessing what gubmints around the world have done in the last 2 years, I’m sad to say that there aren’t any anymore. Doesn’t matter what their advertising budget is. I wouldn’t spend a penny in any of the shitholes that went fascist/marxist.
Nope.
Here is an article about “COVID Theatre” in Canada.

This is Justin Ling’s doing.
You can’t fix stupid and you certainly can’t trust it either.
I grew up in Australia. I have dual US/Australia citizenship status. In country towns its still the Australia I know and love. In the cities it’s unrecognizable.
Sorry for you, brother.
We have lost some of our cities over here, too.
Grew up in SF, but the old city of beauty and grace has been blasted out of existence by Democrats.
Herb Caens Baghdad by the Bay is no more.
Indeed. I actually talked to Herb on the phone relating a story of a bagpipe player who started playing outside my window with the fog rolling in, and then he moved on into the fog. It was a beautiful moment, but those days are gone.
I recall the “early” and “latter” rain in San Francisco. Green –fresh new green.
I grew up in southern Arizona on the Arizona/Mexican border.
It was a nice place back then, now it is a war zone.
Until you decide if you’re a citizen of the US or Australia, I have no use for your ambiguous loyalties. Dual citizenship…I spit on it!
You can KMA – I also am a Dual Citizen & a good Citizen of either country, when I am there. I never take anything from the Government in either Country & pay my own way, including Health Insurance in either country.
I was born in Australia, am married to a Retired Military man for 32 years.
Oh BTW – Walter the US & Australia are Allies – they have fought together in many conflicts.
Teddy Roosevelt had it right. My grandparents were immigrants from ireland and became citizens of the US and raised their children to become Americans. Eight of my uncles fought for the US in WW2, my father wounded in Italy. I’m retired military and have a son who fought in Iraq. The only “thing” I ever kissed was the ground of this beautiful and free country.
My previous statement was about loyalty to your countrymen and your nation, not whether or not we’re allies, although I must admit that we both have our little tyrants to deal with. Again, dual citizenship, dual loyalties. Johnathan Pollard ring a bell?
You can still KMA, I made sacrifices along with my husband , even lived in the ME with him, volunteered for a year for the ARC on Base organizing all the Safety classes & also Volunteered for the Family Service Center on TAP & TAMP.
Oh & when the XO’s Wife over there suggested that we might like to look at some Smuggled Pearls to purchase, I told her that was the wrong thing to do, while we were guests in another country. When the Admiral’s wife called me to tell me that I was mistaken, that I had misheard – I assured her that I was 3 ft away & heard perfectly. Then she told me that, we were never going to mention it again & I told her that nobody told me what to do. Those Officer’s wives didn’t take too kindly to the Enlisted wife keeping them on the straight & narrow, but IMO – our host country would have liked nothing better than to implicate us in some graft & corruption, so that they could hold it over us.
So don’t talk to me about Patriots, my husband always told me that I was a better Patriot than many Americans anyway – we’ve been married for 32 years, so he would know.
I’m with you. Renounced my birth citizenship gladly when I became a US citizen in uniform for my new country.
You ladies are nasty mouthed narcissists. Australia is useless to the world. Always had been and just proved it these last two years
Skinner – Maybe you came from a Third World Country, I didn’t.
A few things – Australia has a long, long way to go to get to the level of corruption that we have here in the USA. Think of the number of Democrats who helped steal the 2020 Election, think of Fauci, Biden, Kameltoe, McConnell, Graham, Ducey, Kemp, ……..I could count the number of Politicians that I trust on two hands – maybe one.
I’m not a fan of Socialized Medicine, but right now I would rather be in an Australian hospital, than in an US hospital, because generally speaking the hospitals in the US are being paid by the Government, to the tune of $100K for each Covid Patient & how is that different from Socialized Medicine?
Hospitals that operate within Socialized Medicine never get that much money thrown at them.
In QLD in 2020, they shut down for 5 weeks, 6 people died from Covid & you could go get a haircut during the lockdown. people worked from home, then went back to work gradually. The kids went back to school in May & stayed there.
Over here most States were in lockdown for much longer, more people died & the kids stayed out of school most of the year in a lot of States.
When did we ever follow China’s lead in any Health related situation anyway – sheer lunacy.
Walter,
That is NOT fair. The Aussies I know are wonderful people and I loved my time there. Of course, I didn’t deal with their government, either, except to come through customs and immigration.
As an American, I sure as Hell wouldn’t want someone to judge me by MY nation’s government because I would be the first to admit those people suck. I worked as hard as I could to stop the Biden Bastards from stealing the election. I was not successful. I suspect there are many Aussies who also truly loathe their government and did all they could to have another group elected, yet ended up with the stormtroopers.
Aussies are good people and they have been by our side in a lot of tough times. This bunch of thugs they have running the government now will pass because they won’t tolerate this garbage forever. Don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater!
My point about dual citizenship has nothing to do with the good quality of most people in the Five Eyes group or other countries. My initial reply was to TTTCOTTH, and my response to Kureelpa reflects my own rejection of dual citizenship as I can easily become a citizen of Ireland based on my grandparents having emigrated from there. Again, nothing personal about people, just about loyalty to one’s countrymen and one’s nation. We do not know each other, but I share your sentiments about the good people of Australia as they fight back against the current prison wardens…we have the same issues here. I do not know what to make of Kureelpa…sounds like an issue Kipling addressed long ago.
I will never travel to any of these types of fascist states.
Nor will many other people, at least not from the United States.
So sad to miss the opportunity to see kola bear. Or miss the opportunity to see panda bear. I weep and think of a New Heaven and New Earth.
Are they giving all expenses paid 2 week vacation including first class air fare, 10 star hotel presidential suite, chauffered limo, private chef cooked to order meals, finest liquors and wine served at any time, and $200,000 spending money? If not, forget about it.
Not enough… I bet the North Koreans would treat you better.
Too little, too late you will NEVER be trusted again.
That’s exactly what they said to Novax! Correction, Novak, and how did that turn out? Never trust a leftist–never EVER trust a leftist.
Novak may be able to play in the Aussie Open again, but Rafa Nadal maybe not. He trusted Fauci science and took the jab; reports are he’s having problems.
Something about a boomerang called hubris I think.
They were all warned, repeatedly.
What’s a little myocarditis between friends?
Nadal has a Stress Fractured to a left rib – apparently he has had it before.
Really good point. He certainly is. He plays hard so his body is bound to fail at some point but he’s been off and getting noticeably more common each tournament he’s in
They all must be on the same bizarre schedule. Lori Lootfoot is promoting Chicago’s 26 beaches and that there are no sharks. The same 26 beaches she gleefully shut down in 2020.
Biderman’s Chart of Coercion — used against prisoners of war, in Korea, for example.
Look it up.
These recent “leniencies” by the most egregiously abusive states and jurisdictions could very well be the prescribed stage at which “they” get your hopes up for a better tomorrow, only to come back at you twice as hard.
Be on your guard — and NEVER forget that they’ve shown their real side, their dark and very evil side.
Sharks are less to fear than the wilding life of Chicago.
#SafariRules
Eventually, Pineland rules…
If any Aussies read this site, sorry mate, never going to your prison colony again. Will dissuade my kids and everyone I know. And we’re all travelers. 4-5k per person, per country type of travelers. You made choices, accepted and enforced by your citizens with glee. Never again will we trust you.
That’s a pretty provocative and impolite comment, unfortunately. Please bear in mind that the following comment is one which Australians would be within our rights to say although I personally am not saying it: “And never again will we trust you! You created this shit and you did nothing to stop it and you’re allowing it to continue even today. Don’t give us any of your self-important bullshit.”
See how easy it is to be nasty? Instead, let’s all work together to fix this shit.
Fix it how?
Remove the decision makers who make the obviously wrong decisions. Easier said than done but that is the one objective that all of us should work together towards.
I note that Americans are doing some of this at the grassroots level such as replacing people on school boards. That is an example of what must be done. It’s a long road. Replace every single perpetrator and accomplice who has decision-making authority.
I agree with some of this
BUT
It was the US’s Fauci and Daszak’s EcoAlliance who made the killer virus
As well as the biolabs in the US–Fort Detrick etc
It was the US who farmed it out to China who made it spread worldwide
It was the US’s corrupt Pharma lords who made the “vaccine which has killed and maimed millions
It was the US who mandated that everyone be injected with this toxin and the US via Pfizer, Moderna who dragooned the world’s governments into forcing this vaccine onto its population
It was the US who came out with the story that IVM and HCQ dont help and who -together with the UK and some EU Drs and sceintists -who falsified clinical trials that purported to show that IVM and HCQ dont work and kill people.
It was the US who stirred crap in Ukraine with corruption and placing its biolabs there and paying off the Ukrainian politicians and oilgarchs and overthrowing the govts the people voted in-TWICE
It was the US who poked the Bear resulting in a war where innocent Ukrainians are dying
Putin is fully justified imo
So people in glass houses should not throw stones
Hate me for saying this but its the truth.
We should all work together to overthrow this evil US govt and stop the NWO
I understand we all al patriots here and I am rooting for the American people to do the right thing and fight back against the darkness and evil DemScum which has overtaken all of us and infected the word with their insane policies.
I know people here are trying to do it
So lets all stand together and keep on doing it and vote them out and defy at every corner
Do they still have or are they still using the Covid camps?
Are the people locked up in forced isolation being released?
Don’t believe the government and I have no respect for the civilian collaborators.
Hey, you have any Lucky Dogs? I’m hungry. 😀
Oh screw Australia I’ll never visit that tyrannical police state. Same goes for NZ.
Clean out and imprison the entire government maybe I’ll change my mind.
Insane power hungry evil nazi psycho tyrants.
I don’t trust wannabe despots the likes of hitler, and trudie, to not put me in jail. I’ll skip a trip to Austr…… “new nazi land”.
$60million to give millions to their mates, laundered via advertising agencies. Legalized corruption.
Australia went from being on my “bucket list” to 1st place on my “_ _ _ _ list”
I’m with you. I refuse to travel to any country or use any airline that imposed all of these measures. If I can’t drive I don’t need to go there. Screw them all.
Simply put, I do not believe Australia’s government and will never consider visiting the place unless every progressive is removed from office and thrown in prison.
I am Australian, I have travelled to a lot of places around the world the last places were Hong Kong, Vietnam, etc. In retirement I had intended to see a lot more of the world.
I no longer trust our Govt. as far as I could kick them, to risk travelling overseas at the moment I consider a big risk, the Australian Govt. as well as the separate States are capable of shutting borders with out due warning, there is every chance of being stuck overseas with no avenue to get home.
As for Scotty Morrison the Judas from Marketing I hope he goes down in history as the worst ever Prime Minister of Australia.
He’ll achieve that mantle easily,he created a national cabinet that allowed the states to run roughshod over the people and then sat back and watched mandates enacted that destroyed people’s lives and businesses .Now he and that other bag of horse sheet in NZ crow that it’s all good ( promise). Morrison has sold out Australia throwing billions everywhere (Ukraine included)to try and repair the damage they unnecessarily caused . Australia’s Federal debt is approximately one trillion and counting not to mention huge state debt which is increasing exponentially ,particularly Victoria.
The most popular, and crowd pleasing , Waterski Championship Tournament is the Moomba Masters in Melbourne, Victoria. Thousands line the banks of the Yarra River in downtown to see the best skiers in the world. This year was great, but noticeably missing were many of the world’s top competitors. Everyone knows why. This was just last week. Tennis , anyone?
You think atheist Brothelcreeper Albanese will be better???
Good luck with that
Scomo did the best he could under the circumstances
Yes the new conservative parties are still a minority–Craig Kelly and Pauline Hanson etc but I think a coalition of those 2 and Scomo’s party is way better than one with the Labor and Greens
Its the Labor govt of states like QLD, NT, WA and Victoria who did all the damage and generated the nasty publicity
‘Scott Morrison done the best he could, give me a break.’
None of them are worth voting for, apart from an odd one or two they are all part of a Uni-party beholden to the BBB scheme and the WAF which Greg Hunt was part of and who knows who else is tangled up with them.
If Albo did win and I hope he doesn’t, the Liberals would be happy to see him carry on with their agenda.
Unnecessary insults.
Central command for the WEF and globalist cabals did not want it to look to suspicious when suddenly everyone dropped the covid mandates. It just wouldn’t look right and the sheeple might wise up.
I wonder how many voters that is going to fool into voting for them…probably the same number that will still religiously vote dem here. Sheep are sheep no matter where they live.
One can always count on Deutschland to up the ante where repression is the topic:
Germany Conducts Mass Raids over Online ‘Insults’ Against Politicians
Probably the posts were not insulting enough…
Bad climate, deadly wildlife, oppressive tyrannical government.
What’s not to like?
QLD has a great climate – especially in Brisbane. not a fan of the Palace Chook though.
The old quote, “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me”, immediately came to mind!
Come back mates, the rubber bullets are Aussie for mosquito.
Yeah? Tell that to a certain tennis star.
BTW, the people want to know how much you took to rig those tournaments? Someone wanted him out bad. How much did you cash in on to boot him?
Yeah, think I’ll wait until the leaders there who turned that big island back into a prison camp all get booted out of office first.
Don’t be fooled, the Scumo is up for election in a few months time and his party just got it ass handed to it in a state election last weekend so he is out with billions in pork barreling promising the world but if by some skullduggery he cheats his way back in all those promises will be scrapped faster than the tax cuts that were supposed to be in the upcoming budget.
Pass.
Had always wanted to go down under. Now, not so much. Don’t need any more fascism in my life.
Had always thought of Aussies as tough and free-spirited, like Americans. Sad to see it isn’t so.
But then, many Americans ain’t what we used to be either.
So the Americans allowed the election takeover, the crazy Fuaci, all the top google and other social media mania polices and still judge others like they all done their best?
The approach should be let’s think together!
Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are FOREVER off the vacation destination list!
This is in addition to much of Europe and quite a few of the United States!
Another catchy ad?
“Come To Canada
Where We Own Your Bank Account”
Is that Crocodile Dundee wrestling that croc?
There are few places left that an unvaxxed pure blood could go, or even should go and spend money just on principle. Heck, that includes Hawaii.
I always wanted to visit Oz, and I am at a time in life where I could actually do that and have a great time… No way Jose, may as well visit North Korea or Iran, they have lost their minds down there. That “Bucket List” item has been scratched off. Not interested.
Last good thing out of Australia was the great Steve Irwin. RIP
I loved Steve Irwin. After he died I planted 2 Weeping Crabapples as a Memorial in my yard in Upstate New York. They were there a few years , they flowered & were laden with fruit. I used to watch the turkeys in them, but the Resident Black Bear came to visit one day & he literally just pulled those trees out of the ground & ate the crabapples.
I was a bit upset, they weren’t cheap, but I figured that was what Steve Irwin was all about – Nature.
Here in Canada businesses in Ottawa are hurting because – surprise – tourists aren’t coming to the city where elderly ladies are run over on their scooters by Black and Tans on horseback. Boo hoo.
who the heck would want to give money to the Aussie govt by visiting his dystopian hehl?
Is March in Ottawa the height of the legendary tourist season like New Orleans, Vegas or Rio? I always heard Ottawa was party central but I thought they meant “Communist Party’?
Always wanted to go since the Paul Hogan ads. Not anymore.
Jesus
F them! Not until there is a regime change.
The Australian politicians and their lackeys deserve the brilliant criticism in this article. Will the Aussie voters soon purge their governments of these authoritarian bullies ?
When will black face Trudeau make a similar ad for Canada and admit his short tenure as Emperor of Canada was a regrettable black mark in Canadian history. Answer–Never!
Trudeau will always bend a knee, shed a fake tear and effusively apologize to every identity group in Canada but he would never apologize to the “average Canadian” for his COVID policies and then his greatest act of evil–implementing the “Emergency” Act to punish, frighten and intimidate his political opponents.
Fu©k You!!!
the ONLY reasons I might be tempted to travel to australia is certainly not as a tourist.
That nation needs a serious enema…..It’s just a matter of time before the entire nation becomes a full time police state.
and this benefits CHINA.
if we australians do not understand this reality, well….it going to become the business of others to make sure it doesn’t fall hard
I took a pause from Australia when I saw so many Australians proudly proclaim they are siding with their gubmint over Novack Djokovic. You happily supported kicking him out. You most certainly don’t want me. Farewell.
In all fairness, NSW didnt do the above
Gladys BinChicken tried but never got far enough, when Perrotett came it, he scrapped all her restrictions.
It was Labor scum (v left wing China friendly) premiers who did this–Commie Daniel Andrews, Anastacia PalaceChook from Queensland, Tail Gunner from the Norther Territory and Mark McClown from West Australia
ALL LEFTY LABOR SCUM all akin to DEM SCUM
I thank the Australian people I have met, talked to, and observed online for showing me why the way a nations’ political system is founded makes such a difference, and why America and Americans are truly an exception to the rule, and rulers, in the world.
We began our nation as free individuals, choosing to cooperate in forming a government and empowering it with and by our consent to be so governed. We are still free, though many othets wish to change that.
HELL NO !!!
John in Indy
All is forgiven….until the next time next week….I feel like cussing a blue streak….as always, call them out! What’s polite when they’re talking about your freedom eh? Call them out is impolite because they CAN’T answer that! Nobody and I mean nobody ever calls them out, back it up or I will not believe you. Breitbart did, they killed him. I don’t wonder why..and just by the way, anonymous sources say…we used to be embarrassed by that. It used to be called gossip but we’re so twisted around our own axles now that we don’t know what that means anymore.
So have they refunded the fines and mitigated any damages done with malice?
In fact I think sports events should not be scheduled there by reason of appartheid with the cleans who didn’t take clot shots.
Those we beat and imprison in Australia, stay in Australia.
In a pig’s eye!
