Americans are so obsessed with australia's covid days, but don't seem to know anything about how australia actually handled it.
>Australia had covid camps
Yeah... if you crossed state boarders, and needed to be quarantined. If you just caught covid, you weren't being dragged to any camp or anything like that, which a lot of americans seems to claim.
So if you weren't travelling across the country during such a period, like an idiot, you weren't ever going to see them.
>Australia had lockdowns
And so did America. Should we judge the whole of america by what new york did? Admittedly Melbourne spurgged out big time and in a globally embarrassing way, but the rest of australia was fairly lax throughout the whole thing.
And I think those are really the only claims against Australia during covid, and I don't think they're too bad (sans Melbourne, but fuck Melbourne).
But if you think I'm just being a overly patriotic boot licker...

I hate to break it to you, but a bullshit e-safety law has passed requiring sites to identify if Australians are over 18 with actual identification, the specifics haven't been written yet, but it's going to be similar to what the brit bong is going through, for sure. So it's not a matter of 'if' for australia, it's 'when'.

Leave it to a government to fuck everything up they put their dick into.
What annoys me about this, is that the brits actually had a decent way of doing this privately written up previously. Remember the 'porn pass' laws you guys had coming a few years ago? Get carded as 18 at your local grocers while buying some beer, get your 'porn pass' which doesn't actually contain any private info about you, use that to verify yourself on sites.
Simple, private, safe, smart... so of course governments moved away from that, the stupid useless suit wearing mutts.
Granted, we're all probably to blame for laughing at it so much at the time.
