That's almost worshipping government as a religious level just like Butters did in South Park. That clip aged well.
Btw, they should learn to be more humble, government take his Mercedes GLC and give him a Toyota, at least it isn't a bad as some old Eastern European jalopies like a Yugo, Trabant or a Lada.

If you're Australian, you need permission to leave. I guess you could always renounce the Australian Citizenship and get yourself deported.

I'm still trying to figure this one out mate. As I've said a number of times in this thread already, I had plans on emigrating but the timing of covid fucked that up. If and when I figure out how to GTFO of this prison unvaxxed, I'll post up here how I did it.

Vaccine passports in Australia are coming, and WA school leavers are the first in line
WA's Health Minister says a COVID-19 jab mandate for school leavers wanting to attend official celebrations down south is a taste of future plans for vaccine passports.
Archive
At the end of November, thousands of high school graduates will head to Western Australia's South West tourist region to take part in rite-of-passage school leavers celebrations.
The catch? They can only attend official leavers events if they have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
It is a move both authorities and experts have labelled as a sign of what is to come when WA, which has been largely COVID-free, will begin to open to the rest of the country and the world.
"School leavers this year is actually the very first opportunity we've had to implement the sort of policies which look like vaccine passports," Health Minister Roger Cook said.
"So, this is a dip in the water for the government.
"It's also a taste, I think, for the Western Australian community of what they should be expecting into the future."
But the WA Police Commissioner and Vaccine Commander, Chris Dawson, said people should not overthink it.
"I wouldn't read [into it] too much, more other than us protecting school leavers from being together, enjoying it in a safe way so that we don't unwittingly invite COVID-19 to spread amongst the group when they're enjoying themselves," he said.
"Ideally we would like them to have two [doses], but they must be vaccinated at least once."
Commissioner Dawson announced yesterday a deadline of December 31 for 80 per cent of the state's eligible population to be fully vaccinated against coronavirus.
Soft launch will test technology
Katie Attwell, a vaccination social scientist and policy expert from the University of Western Australia, said the mandate for school leavers seemed like a good place to start, given it was a state-run event.
"It's not a group we're historically worried about having serious adverse events from COVID, but nevertheless it's a group where the spread of COVID could occur quite easily," she said.
"So I think perhaps doing it here is a way of making sure that the technology works, because so much of things like mandates is about the implementation.
"How do you actually make this work? How do you check people's status? How do you deal with attempted forgeries?"
Warming up to opening up
WA has so far avoided any large-scale outbreaks of the virus and lived a relatively normal existence amid the global pandemic.
Events have been able to go ahead, like Perth Festival, the Royal Show and the AFL grand final, which drew a crowd of 61,000 to Perth Stadium.
So far there has been no requirement for vaccine passports, with the WA's strict border controls reducing the risk of the virus circulating in the community.
But the risk is now accepted, and state authorities have acknowledged WA cannot stay shut off from the world forever and must, at some stage, begin living with the virus.
Deakin University chair of epidemiology Catherine Bennett said the school leavers mandate was a warm-up.
"This is all warming up for opening up," Professor Bennett said.
"I do think we'll see more and more of this as we have large events going ahead, because you want to make sure that any event that's being held could be held even if there was some virus circulating in the community.
"I think that's the big shift here."
All eyes on the 'WA experience'
Professor Bennett said she also believed the leavers vaccine mandate was something the rest of the country would look to.
"We [Australia] haven't seen it yet but that's because the areas with the largest cities, with the largest events and the virus circulating haven't actually yet moved to those events," she said.
"But I think that's exactly what we're going to see going ahead.
"And so everyone will be watching what happens with the Western Australian experience, because all states will learn from each other about the best ways to manage these things from an operational sense as well."
Mandate to boost WA's vaccine rate
Mr Dawson said about 9,000 young people attended the 2020 state-funded leavers events in Dunsborough, making it a good opportunity to make sure almost a third of that particular age group was vaccinated.
Professor Bennett said it would also mean targeting a cohort of people who would likely be among those socialising and attending events as WA began living with the virus in the future.
"We do know that even one dose of vaccine helps, but we also know that once people have had their first dose, they're likely to follow up on the second," she said.
"And you wind up boosting vaccination levels in that very part of the community who are going to want to take full advantage of staying connected and going to events as the state opens up progressively."
Dr Attwell said it was also important to keep sharing positive vaccine stories with the wider community to boost the overall vaccine rate.
"I think it's really important that we continue to support people in our lives who might be concerned or hesitant about the vaccine," Dr Attwell said.
"Because as they start to feel policies like this shaping and constraining their decisions, some of them might feel reactive, some of them might feel squeezed and irritated.
"And as much as possible, if we can share our positive experiences of vaccination … and that we're now robust and ready to face COVID-19, and we want the same thing for them, that's an important message to keep sharing with our friends and families."

Let's get some more news here:
Now Andrews has been linked to a corruption inquiry. He won't say if he's under investigation though.
New NSW Premier. He's the former treasurer and is hoping to make adjustments to the roadmap to reopen NSW. He's also pretty conservative: NSW Treasurer delivers powerful defence of the unborn: "Human rights don't depend on the feelings of other people"
Speaking of, NSW hit 70% vaccinated today. 
We did it Aussies, all it took was a massive lockdown and state enforced beatings for you to comply.
And people in America protesting lockdowns, they care more about it than the aussies do lol.
This is being normalized.
More from NZ
Somewhere in America, I think.
Twitter had a feature like a week ago where I could see related videos but now I can't. Might be suppressing.
More from the protests in NY.
As much as I dislike Yemini, he does have good footage. Here local cops are trying to say "We're locals, we understand." But they're still in their high vis vests.
Tucker here was from the 2nd I think, might have been posted before but it's good for you yanks.

Yeah Americans tend to be well armed panicky retards but still if you were to get americans a bit more into shape and a couple more IQ points we might be able to fix the country.
Aussies and Canadians have a very similar colonial mindset that's different from America.
Most of them criticize America for being insane when their countries slowly turn into 1984 in front of their very eyes. It's kind of like making fun of your wealthy religious cousins who have like dozens of kids. Meanwhile Australia and Canada are the upper middle class Karen's of the family say can you believe how disrespectful they are to the English within the family.

Thanks Gov, people on a pension can't even afford to leave the prison colony you've inherited and now the prisoners have to pay you even when you do get out. That's great.

Yet the average lemming on twitter acts like universal healthcare is a end all be all
I'm not surprised that the comments are all it's a pandemic and we got to do something to get out of this. The whole media induced Paranoia is well going to lead us to very bad very dark places in society. But they keep calling us selfish as if we're holding them back even though the unvaccinated aren't dropping like flies. Really what's sad is so many people are too scared to admit they could have made a wrong or bad choice that they're doubling and tripping down.

Agreed.
We have positive rights, rather than negative rights. We're essentially glorified serfs.

I've been able to go to the dentist twice during lockdowns no problem. You don't mean that public dentist where their solutions to everything is to pull teeth? That's the nigger dentist mate.

You alright bud? I had to wait until after the last lot of lockdowns were done to get mine fixed. Granted I hadn't been for the 7 years prior. The dental surgeons on this side of the ditch (or at least the one aunty I go to) are booked out for months at least.
The people running my country are idiots, have been since before the exceptions of maybe Palmer (although relatively rude in person) , Lange, Big Norm, Savage, Fraser, King Dick and Grey. No different to every other country.
At the moment while not mandatory for everyone (or many people) the govt is pushing them hard and are bringing in a proposed vaccine passport system in November which looks set to basically coerce young people to get them on the basis they can't go to festivals with potential rumour of taking the european/NYC approach. Both leaders of the major parties of fuckups appear to be in support of this. However thats a rumour and one I can't see people enforcing.
Especially when business owners start doing this:
Golden Bay cafe hiring only unvaccinated workers, makes vaccinated customers sit outside
A pocket of people entrenched against vaccination could endanger the small community, an expert says.
and/or when they've burned through enough cash, because the population isn't super keen on getting smashed if people so much as sneeze in public. The 'Ihre Papier Bitte' route looks like it's going to be cluster fuck and with my understanding of IT projects and current disregard for signing into anything I don't see this being strictly enforced.
Plus the whole PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGING BREACHING THE BILL OF HUMAN RIGHTS ACT.
What isn't a rumour is AirNZ prohibiting non-vaxx passengers in international flights from 1 Feb 2022, which should be entertaining for much of the population when it occurs to them the vaxx is useless in the long term. It also means I'll need to find a new carrier if I want to annoy foreigners by pretending to be retarded.
Many people I know have had at least one shot, including my entire immediate family who have had 2 of pfizer.
None of these people give a shit that I haven't and none have asked. As none of them are screeching at me, I don't screech at them. I simply explain my reasoning, they explain theirs and we call it a day. The front-line/support medical staff I know are acknowledging these contradictions subtly at this point or from an unofficial point of view, and none of them have screeched at me once I explained my reasoning.
The only people freaking out at me are my friends in NSW & Vic whose minds appear to have been broken by lockdown & constant MSM exposure, and even then some of them are still aware this shit is an effort to push authoritarianism.
About half my close friends are entirely against it however based on info gleaned here, from /pol/, from twitter, and from the ability to logically deduce the reality and what the govt/MoH/med-safe is telling people is a contradiction. Interestingly this is the first and only I've seen any of them including myself express opposition to medical procedure or policy (not counting the opposition to the old mental health system we had).
A few others who have had the shots (including aunty)have said that boosters can fuck off and that they won't be bothering.
In short the labour govt and press releases from the health ministry appear to pushing a stratagem of sticking their heads in the sand in respect to international data and evidence even if front-line staff and citizen's aren't which is a genuinely impressive level or arrogance, hubris and retardation.
I assume they've at least noticed that the NSW/Vic approach of how hard and long they can sodomise their citizens is a fucked idea and have gone for shorter targeted lock downs instead, but only time will tell if they quietly backpedal and just abandon their current attempts of tricking me into getting jabbed by spamming youtube with corporate art telling me I can get my 'free' covid jab.
I can't imagine how bad the propaganda must be for the midwits who still watch television, listen to radio and don't use ad blockers.
I can also imagine that Cindy at least noticed when she posted on FB regarding covid experiences of the un-vaxxed and ended up with 13K comments in 4 hours asking what about the vaccinated people they knew who had either gotten sick or had severe symptoms.
In short the govt while talk tough for a while, come up with some sort of idiotic and trivial misdirection (like a flag referendum or language referendum) and then claim they saved the day once everyone gets delta or whatever the next mutation is.
Granted when China implodes or ww3 pops off and the housing bubble bursts, they may double down on this shit. Who knows?
TL;DR: the govt is fucking stupid, midwits cheer this on, and the rest of us just look on and just shake our heads and go 'what the actual fuck' while they proceed to continue on.
Edit: oh yeah fun fact. TVNZ & RNZ are State owned enterprises like the BBC or RT or CBC. NZME (i.e. the Herald) supports the centre right opposition party, and Stuff (used to be part of Seven Fairfax) is basically being funded by the current govt.
You're going to hear little more than parroting of govt talking points until they're forced to change the narrative, once they ackowledge my tax dollars are being wasted.
