We have written a great deal about the sheer insanity of the response to the COVID-19 global pandemic over the past two years; however, nothing showcases the COVID madness like what New Zealand is doing right now.  Consider:

♦ In late March 2020, New Zealand recorded 5 cases of COVID-19 infection and immediately shut down everything, locked down borders and citizens, and instituted the most severe restrictions on formerly free citizens in global history.

♦ In late March 2022, New Zealand recorded 20,000 cases of COVID-19 infection (yesterday), and announces they are dropping almost all COVID restrictions, removing vaccination mandates and eliminating COVID passports.

Nothing shouts ‘scamdemic‘ louder than the government’s own behavior in this example.

Was COVID-19 ever more concerning than a severe flu, which was then weaponized by government to induce a global fear and trigger mass formation psychosis as a gateway for a new model society?

That question is for the history books. However, the changed political landscape, in combination with the Florida result, appear to hold the answers.

(SKY NEWS) – Vaccine passes are being axed in New Zealand, with mandates being removed in almost all industries. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced the changes on Wednesday as she unveiled the country’s post-Omicron peak plan.

When the Australians are saying a government has gone insane, that’s when you know the Canadian government has gone insane.

Regional states within Australia were the former apexes of totalitarian government in the era of COVID compliance.  Australia’s Zero-COVID approach led to border closures, years of regional lockdowns, armed and patrolled checkpoints, mandated vaccines, guarded quarantine camps and manhunts for escapees, forced detainment of minority populations, police shooting rubber bullets at protest groups, cracked skulls and a completely segregated society awaiting their third and fourth booster shot before they can get past the supermarket gates.

However, even with all that… Australia never locked the bank accounts of its citizens and confiscated their property if they dared raise a voice of dissent against their “for your own good” beatings.  The pundits in Australia now look jaw-agape at how the COVID Cancer from Down Under has metastasized in the body politic of their cousins.  WATCH (2 parts):

Neil Oliver delivers his remarks this weekend against the background of oppressive government on display in Canada.

The issues around the vaccines that Oliver notes are at the heart of what the Canadian truckers were protesting. Yet, those original grievances have been lost, intentionally lost and buried by the government of Justin Trudeau, because the Canadian government finds it less of a risk to trigger a national emergency act declaration than discuss the issues around forced vaccination.  Think about that carefully.

As common in his monologues, Oliver outlines the baseline issue, lost in the shadows of the national emergency declaration, and eloquently drags it back into the spotlight. This is exceptionally well done. I appreciate the way Oliver can eloquently frame his argument, build it to the key takeaway – the central point, and then hit it hard at the end.  WATCH:

The Australian Open is scheduled to begin January 17th in Melbourne, the epicenter of Australia’s totalitarian COVID mandates.  Australia granted unvaccinated tennis superstar Novak Djokovic a visa to compete.  Australian border officials then attempted to block his entry and deport him, because he was unvaccinated.  Novak Djokovic took the issue to the federal court in Australia, and won his legal case against the Australian government. The government then decided unilaterally to revoke his visa on immigration grounds.  Djokovic appealed.

The world #1 ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic lost his appeal today to remain in Australia and play the Australian Open tournament.   He was immediately escorted to the airport and kicked out.

The government did not hide their reasoning, as immigration minister Alex Hawke said getting Djokovic out of the country was “fundamental to safe-guarding Australia’s social cohesion which continues to strengthen despite the pandemic.”

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison echoed the Hawke sentiment saying forcing Novak Djokovic out of the country quickly was a matter of “public interest“, because his continued presence would destabilize the government.   Morrison further stated, “Australians have made many sacrifices during this pandemic, and they rightly expect the result of those sacrifices to be protected,” allowing an unvaccinated person to enter Australia was a threat to the social fabric that has bowed to the controls and threats of government vaccination mandates.

None of the statements by the government, and none of their legal arguments had anything to do with COVID-19, or any medical issue or threat represented by Mr. Djokovic.  The government didn’t even attempt to make any such case in their court arguments.  Instead, the government relied upon convincing the court that Djokovic’s physical presence represented a threat to “social cohesion“.

To support the position of the government, Australian Chief Justice James Allsop stressed the court was ruling on the “lawfulness and legality” of the decision and not whether it was right or wrong to deport him. {LINK} The government can arbitrarily decide who comes and goes into the country, therefore, if the government wants to ban Djokovic for whatever reason, they can.  That was the determining legal factor, nothing else.

Now we get to the key distinction between Americans and Australians.  This is the point where many Americans find it difficult to reconcile with the outlook of Australians.  This is where the distinctions in democracy become very important to understand.

The Australian Open is scheduled to begin January 17th in Melbourne, the epicenter of Australia’s totalitarian COVID mandates.  Australia granted unvaccinated tennis superstar Novak Djokovic a visa to compete.  Australian border officials then attempted to block his entry and deport him because he was unvaccinated.

Novak Djokovic took the issue to the federal court in Australia and won his legal case against the Australian government.  However, earlier today Australian Immigration Minister Alex Hawke unilaterally cancelled his visa.

Under Australian law, Immigration Minister Hawke has almost unfettered powers to cancel a visa making any legal challenge to the decision very difficult.  The official statement from Alex Hawke is AVAILABLE HERE.

Today I exercised my power under section 133C(3) of the Migration Act to cancel the visa held by Mr Novak Djokovic on health and good order grounds, on the basis that it was in the public interest to do so.  This decision followed orders by the Federal Circuit and Family Court on 10 January 2022, quashing a prior cancellation decision on procedural fairness grounds.

In making this decision, I carefully considered information provided to me by the Department of Home Affairs, the Australian Border Force and Mr Djokovic. The Morrison Government is firmly committed to protecting Australia’s borders, particularly in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. (read more)

Sky News has the following article: […] Following a federal court’s decision to overturn the original decision to cancel Djokovic’s visa, the government indicated it would consider using ministerial discretion to deport the Serbian tennis star.

Comrades, the Premier of Western Australia, Mark McGowan has announced new rules for vaccine passports in the state.  Premier McGowan says life will become “very difficult” for the state’s unvaccinated, as he unveils the toughest proof-of-vaccination rules in Australia.

Let me be very clear, these rules and regulations are going to lead to unintended consequences that government officials have never considered.  The pain this will bring upon the vaccinated, yes, the vaccinated, will be of such consequence the government will be defending itself for years from the backlash of unintended consequences that global leaders have yet to fathom.  More on that later…

In the interim, in his announcement today, McGowan announces that vaccine passports will be required to participate in any level of civil society, and the unvaccinated are going to be intentionally locked out of almost everything.  Watch Video from 01:00 to 04:00 to see the scale:

This totalitarian interventionist exercise will bring a scale of consequence that Australians have yet to realize.  Unfortunately, many state and municipal leaders in the United States are not that far behind.

The shifting sands of COVID vaccination mandates are happening stunningly fast.  During a press conference today the state health officials in Victoria, Australia, announced that vaccinated workers have 30 days to take their mandatory booster shots, or they will lose their jobs.

The announcement occurs at 07:07 of the video below. Prompted, WATCH:

Mandatory booster shots or lose your employment.

Australia is nuts.  Then again, the U.S. probably isn’t far behind.

The Australian media are well known to be stenographers for the far left totalitarian mindset of the government officials.  If you have watched any of the COVID-19 press conferences with media, you will note they never challenge the state ministers or federal politicians.  As remarkable as it may seem, the Australian media are considerably more biased than U.S. corporate media.

Showcasing that point, two broadcasters, Rebecca Maddern & Mike Amor from Channel 7 in Australia, did not know their microphones were recording them as they discussed the headline story around Novak Djokovic, the world #1 tennis player who was detained by border officials despite being given a visa for entry to play in the Australian open.

The two pundits were recorded complaining about Novak Djokovic and calling him a “lying, sneaky asshole” for challenging, and winning, a court case against the Australian government.  The stenographers were upset about the world seeing first hand just how ridiculous the Australian COVID-19 dictates, rules and regulations are.   WATCH:

Apparently, there’s a rebel amid the production staff throwing sand into the machinery.  LOL.  Well done.
