Woman Arrested in Australia For Incitement

Well aren't restaurants closed too in certain parts of the country? What part of the country are you in?

The difference is that the rioters and looters are human waste and are doing what they're doing not because they're being permitted by the government, but because they don't give a damn about the law. I note that some churches are still meeting in defiance of the rules.

 

So then it can be the "secular equivalent" too?

 

Of course it can. But it seems those carrying their bibles and other religious books do a better job of extremism and zeal, all in the name of some version of 'god.'

 

Their motivation isn't what is important at this point, their destructive activity is being permitted and condoned by people who should be enforcing the law and stopping it. It has become a political trap for Trump. They blame him for the destruction if he follows the Constitution and does nothing and if he does what he should do and send in the Guard to stop it he becomes a power mad dictator. Either version is used effectively to inflame the DNC base.

 

Hang on. The "Thunder Down Under" in Vegas have been notified and as soon as they get their thong's out of the dry cleaners their on the way to get this settled once and for all.

 

From the posts in this thread, you'd think Australia is a police state.

The numbers look pretty good now.



It looks to me as though something should have been done in early July.

 

This doesn't look like defeat.

Eh? Some restrictions can be eased without R0 going too high. There's no way Australia can "open up" completely. The same is true here in British Columbia (5m people) where we've have had 213 deaths. BTW, we've never had a stay-at-home order, but we have been careful about opening up. The provincial health officer has recently closed banquet halls and limited bar hours.

Calling any Australian state government "communist" is a stretch.

Two wild accusations.

 

Its not defeat in moron land

of course it's defeat... he won't open the State up, until you can open up and restart business you're not winning... and if you open up only for it to flare up again the only thing you've achieved is the destruction of the economy

Besides the Victorian economy is now completely crushed, Dan Andrews will be remembered as the lemur who accomplished the biggest destruction of an economy second only maybe to South Africa...

 

The US restart is stalling out well short of recovery. Why? Because the coronavirus in circulating widely and some people are predictably staying home and not spending money.

I think you're overly pessimistic given what I've seen.

There can be no doubt the restrictions hurt, but a coronavirus-free state could be more prosperous in the longer term. If you're interested in what else might work, I'd look at British Columbia. We never had a lockdown and got the new cases very low before we more fully opened up.

Well, we have the hiring of the truly INCOMPETENT security guards to thank for that!
I heard that the hiring may have been based on fulfiling diversity quotas! I guess it was worth it - after all, diversity is our strength!

 

But does not answer the question why freedom of speech should protect the offense by law "inciting to a crime"!

 

"Those carrying their bibles and other religious books?" Yeah, that's about 10 people in government in Australia!

 

West Texas. Restaurants are open with restrictions. Barbers and Salons are open (saloons are not). Grocery stores and big box stores like Walmart and Target are open with number restrictions (theoretically). Masks at all times although I did see a couple in Walmart barefaced a couple of days ago.

 

Quite the reverse in the US.

Our government is run by men like Elmer Gantry and wannabe Rabbis.

 

But churches are completely closed?

 

Alright, but maybe you should stop pretending to know so much about Australia. I mean, literally NOBODY knows anything about Australia!

 

I spent a week in Sydney and Bankstown back in 1971.

Regarding the plandemic we're in now, all I know about Australia is what I see on those videos of the arrest of pregnant women and such for having exercised First Amendment right. Yes, I know Australia has no First Amendment. Or, if it has one, nobody honors it, least of all the government employees.

 

I don't go to church and I really don't know.

After a google search what I could find is descriptions of churches beginning the process of reopening so I would guess from that, that they have been closed.

 

It doesn't here.

 

I think in Victoria we rushed opening up after first wave. Won't happened again

 

In this case diversity is well and truely destroying Victoria, it is rather funny C but honestly things are really bad here in Victoria....and getting worse. Melbourne has 7 of the 10 most mortgage stressed suburbs and in two of them Belgrave & Narre Warren (I think it's Narre Warren) 97% of mortgage holders are already struggling to meet payments. If you take into account the number of predicted joblosses and businesses going bust... just crazy to keep us in stage 4 for so long without a vaccine being implemented during the lockdown... that would be the only scenario I could justify stage 4,,,, while implementing vaccine

Devastating map shows the Great Australian Dream being shredded in Melbourne - with a staggering 97% of residents struggling to pay their mortgages in some suburbs

"Implemented" as in invented?

 

Are you viewing the COVID restrictions as an excuse to attack religion and religious people?

 

Nice to see that you are standing up for churches even though you aren't part of one yourself. Of course, you may be a Christian and just not attend church. Also, I think that it's important to point out that Jewish temples, Islamic mosques and other places of worship were all treated the same, but perhaps you included them in "churches" - I guess that it's quite common to use 'church' in place of 'places of worship.' As such, the argument which people have made that churches should reopen should equally apply to ALL places of worship.
