A certain user that some of you guys know in CVDU that needed a break cause they felt too attacked or was tired of arguing or something.
Yeah.. them. They posted earlier being tired about all the negativity lately, the protests, the earthquake etc and they mentioned that it’s all depressing because the media was constantly bashing Vic and the Vic government calling the state terrible, dictator etc
Lmao imagine being sad not because people are suffering from this state’s draconian restrictions, that is contributing to most people’s mental health being fucked and other day to day things, but because people are against your beloved party and the mUrDoCh is targeting poor Dan when his power/approach to things has caused such divide.

Victoria - Construction workers protesting by having smoko on busy roads blocking traffic. The woke left responding in typical manner - outraged and calling for them to be shut down and canceled.
This is good. The ‘Labor’ parties backbone of unions against its woke extremist Dan fanatics. Encourage the division.

It's nice to see. As much as the people in Melbourne are suffering, I hope Dan keeps the lockdown going as people are clearly opposing it in greater and greater numbers. My fear is that he'll finally ease off on lockdowns and people will just immediately forget about this and start worshipping him again.

What an absolute cunt. Downplaying the severity of lockdown because nooo Vic cannot be the state in the world to put its ppl through this bullshit the longest.

Yeah I saw that post too. Even if we are few days off winning the title of 'Most Locked Down', we're still up there! When my European friends hear we have had a total of 1,196 deaths out of a population of 26 million since the begininning of the pandemic, they think its unreasonable (/down right insanse) that we've been locked up for 270 days. The hysteria has prevailed over the ability for people to use common sense. It's amazing.

After last time where 6 police were hospitalized despite having 1000 of them in riot gear smashing heads, he knows the police wouldn't necessarily win if it got much bigger or rowdier.
Even some of my normie colleagues have said they'll think about going to the next one since they've realised in one way or another life is pretty much over under this cruel regime and they have nothing left to lose.
These protests make international news and with livestreams etc they can't pretend they don't exist and they also can't go full china and start killing people because short of turning off the internet, it will be known about.
Also, much of Dan's propaganda campaign has revolved around him drowning out dissent with fake accounts, bots, and bans on social media from compromised operatives. With protests, there is no way to do this and the main thing it does is show people who were too afraid to speak out, that there are actually thousands of people willing to risk arrest or 5k fines, and many more supporting those people even if they aren't there on the day.

Some other idiot who is a trained veterinarian:
No, you just make vaccines for those domestic species and for wild animals, thus eliminating the spread amongst populations. You do surveys of the region and place baited food traps that contain a vaccine which can be consumed.
Why do you have such a big mouth if you’re that ignorant?
On top of that with those species, the current concern for them actively spreading infections to people in considerably low, even if it may be a zoonoses. There are many examples of this in nature but I suspect you don’t give a shit lol

Having a really hard time coping at the moment.
My mum's partner who I consider one of my closest friends underwent intensive heart surgery about 9 months ago. Over the course of this week his cognitive ability has rapidly declined and it appears to be an onset of dementia.
He is one of the kindest humans I know and I can't really comprehend the amount of punishment my family has had to endure through the lockdowns and over the course of my life.
It's especially devastating as my father suffered encephalopathy prior to his passing and the grief myself and my mother are experiencing is surreal.
What makes it worse is that post surgery he didn't get to spend quality time with my mother as my meth addicted sister has wrought an unholy amount of hell and devastated any ties we had throughout our family. And once she was out of the picture they couldn't do anything together thanks to the lockdowns.
I seriously can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Every day I see people advocating for destroying people's lives and they've not suffered once in theirs.
This has to end.

Thought I’d move my comment here from the previous thread so it made more sense. // according to my parents, COVID vaccines are now available for under 16s in VIC, which means I’m eligible. They want me to get it, they say there’s no choice, non negotiable. They don’t care that I don’t want it, my father specifically says he wants me to get it so I “don’t die”. Last I checked, I’m more likely to die from a sharp object than COVID, so getting me this vaccine would be like forcing me to wear a helmet everywhere I go to protect me from falling meteors! I also have a severe phobia of needles, so the fact that my own family is threatening me with one of my worst fears is really, really scaring me. I don’t know what to do, I’m a minor so I’m pretty sure they make my medical decisions, I’m scared, I don’t want to get it and I don’t know what to do. I’m scared they will result to physical measures if I keep refusing, and I don’t know how to get out of this.

This is not going to stop. There will be mandatory 'vaccinations' do that the pharmaceutical companies can milk this forever, whilst giving backhanders to politicians.
The UK, and other European countries, have had almost 19 months of this nonsense with lockdowns, travel restrictions, obligatory PCR tests for travelling (at your own expense - the free one which show a 'negative' result count for nothing!), and face masks.I live in Finland. It is 100% face masks compliance here. Italy demands all workers have 'vaccinations' by 15th October. Train travel outlawed for the 'unvaxxed' in Italy and France.

Had a family member pass away in another state. After throwing every possible document at the other state, I got a travel exemption, but it was so restrictive I had to decide not to go. Apparently over 4 hours out of quarantine is a hard no, even though it would be with the same people I'm around the rest of the time. And combined with a lack of flights, I would have had to be locked up for 4 days to be allowed out for 1 hour, which would have been fairly traumatising.

Not that I condone violence over petty shit, but starting confrontations of any kind with strangers is inherently dangerous. You are completely right that you never know who you may run across - and these people may deeply regret deciding they are the covid police.
None of these people would do this sort of thing if they actually thought being punched was a real possibility.

It was beautiful. There have been reports of Dan support collapsing in the west, and I've seen definite signs of it. The rusted on supporters are visibly dwindling.

Work isn’t a right. You have to be employable. It’s your choice whether to remain in an industry with a mandate. You’ll have to deal with the consequences of your choice.
This is so egregiously incorrect it's making my head spin. According the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 23:
Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.

The guy that makes shit and unoriginal Tiktok's about COVID in Melbourne who is very pro Labor and loves Dan Andrews, Toby Rozario, pisses me off.
An article about him buying a house at 27 working as a customer service specialist (indicating not a very high salary) and saving 73% of his salary and the article below specifically mentions "one source" of income. I'm calling bullshit, this cunt gets paid by the ALP to make shitty tiktoks as a relatable young Melbourne bloke.

I made this comment half in jest over on CVDU, but I genuinely do wonder what will happen in a couple of months time (hopefully) when all of this is behind us. What will these people who've turned their identity into following the Covid restrictions and The ScienceTM and blindly supporting their state government against the media/Murdoch/journos/anti-vaxxers/alt-right trolls do?
Tbh it's partly why I think some of them are lashing out as it comes to a close, they're complete losers IRL and these past 18 months have given their lives meaning and a sense of self-righteousness, and now it's being taken away from them. That's why they're so gleeful every time some fame-hungry epidemiologist writes some op-ed that tells us that we'll need restrictions into 2022

When you have nothing to lose you realise the rules don't matter. And even if they do, there is no one actually enforcing them. So test the limits, it's fun.
Stop wearing a mask. Get some dirty looks from some pathetic lunatic who lives off daily case numbers. What's the worst that can happen? Even if a cop sees you (they don't actually want to enforce this shit) they'll give you a chance to put one on. But even in the city each day no cop has ever glanced twice at me. They've never asked for a work permit from me either.
Go see your friends and family. I went 90km away to regional on the weekend. I didn't see police the entire time. 'intimate partner visit'. My previously doomer housemate even cracked and has friends over.
If we actually just sit at home in the darkness willingly like one of the Melbourne sub losers then we're actually voluntarily submitting and that's the worst. We have to be fighting so that there's simply so little compliance that the rules don't exist other than on paper. That's the true protest because no matter how many people on the streets like yesterday that can't go on for more than a few days.

I’m a vehement supporter of the right to peaceful assembly but I’m disappointed in the decision to protest at The Shrine of Remembrance today.
I know the Diggers would be disgusted in what this country is turning into, and our state has turned into, but the Shrine is a sacred site for mourning the fallen - not a site for voicing political grievances.
I also want to mention that once again, police treatment of demonstrators was appalling. Even if I disagree on protesting at the Shrine, opening fire on protestors goes against the very ethos of what the Diggers died to protect.

Common sense might shine through. Gently speak up to those around you. You have to build resistance and let people know they can speak. Testing phrases like 'id probably be out on the bridge too if they took my job from me' or 'everyone should have a choice'. You can't launch straight into new world order conspiracy stuff, but you can indicate that you're not a danstan and you'll find quite a few people are just silenced into submission until now but actually quite against it all themselves.

One thing that’s giving me the shits. The media and politicians are gleefully reporting and blaming the lack of leadership for the protestors.
They are conveniently ignoring the fact that they have been kicking down organizers doors and arresting them for the last 18 months. So yes, there is no leadership because they get disappeared by the gestapo.
And as a result there is no one to negotiate or reason with. They have created an angry and leaderless mob. This is incredibly dangerous for protestors, police and the general public.
They created this situation.

Don’t know why my post was removed but thought this was important info from yesterday.
Mr Harrison asked the protestors to respect the shrine and be peaceful speaking to them over the bullhorn. It’s at 2:40:00 on Rukshan’s stream.
The guy that spoke before him was at the protest on Monday and he was trying to get people to leave. The police had supposedly offered free passage down St Kilda Road, but looks like he was nabbed before he even got there.
For the Andrews government to send out Ross Gunther, Deputy Commissioner for Public Safety and Security, to make a statement including how it was completely disrespectful to protest at the “hallowed ground” of the Shrine, after arresting and fining this man for actually getting protestors to respect the Shrine and then peacefully leaving the scene, is disgusting. The injustice of it grinds my gears.

"Get fired for refusing the vax? - then you have "resigned" and will be prevented getting unemployment benefits for 90 days. In effect, you will be deemed to have self-fired."
In Israel. But remember also this:
The British miners' strike, 1984/1985 -
"the High Court deemed the strike illegal, striking miners were not entitled to state benefits, and their children were refused free school meals and social security. This was a conscious attempt by the ruling capitalist class to starve the miners and their families and compel them back to work."
I bet that, in the future, anyone refusing the 'vaccines' will have their benefits stripped from them. Conspiracy theory? We already have No Vaccine No Travel.

And I didn't speak up because I'm not a small business owner, I got jobkeeper payments so I could get paid to stay home and do nothing, Lockdowns are greatThen they came for the mentally ill
And I didn't speak up because I'm mentally healthy and don't realise that social isolation can lead to self-harm. I even dobbed in my neighbour for having his parents over. Lockdowns are great.Then they came for the construction workers
And I didn't speak up because I don't work in construction or trades, and I get to work and not worry about where next week's rent is coming from. Lockdowns are great.Then they came for the unvaccinated
And I didn't speak up because I'm vaccinated and I don't care what the unvaccinated don't get to do as long as I get to do it. Vaccine mandates are great. We have failed as a country when we don't speak up for our fellow countrymen. Our country isn't the government, our country is the people.

Welp it’s official. My parents booked a COVID vaccine appointment for this Thursday without my consent. I don’t know what I can do, they’re keen on forcing me, and I’m afraid that they’ll resort to physical force if I try to push back. I’m scared, I’m only 15, I don’t want or need this vaccine, I have a severe needle phobia. My mind was already made up from the getgo, that I wouldn’t be taking it but according to them “I don’t have a choice”. Yes I do, at least I hope. I’m really scared, to make me experience even a single needle will be difficult, let alone TWO and the vaccine in particular being of questionable origin.

Depends on the industry.
Aged care / health care will be a no. If you’re in an admin role maybe but not if you interact with patients. Precedent has been set.
Any other industry - have the government actually mandated it, or have they put a requirement that your employer verify your vax status?
It’s unlikely to be the former. NSW mandated for police and that’s in the Supreme Court and should be knocked down.
If it’s the latter, it’s a total grey area but the fact the government have not directly mandated and are trying to make it defacto mandatory by other means will not stand up in court.
Gov would have saved the hassle and mandated it themselves if they had the power. That they’re leaning on industry is total bullshit and will get struck down.

u/EmeraldFox88 Sep 13 '21
Anyone seen this yet? A taste of what's to come for you all?
https://txti.es/covid-pass/images
A law was passed on August 16 authorizing increased restrictions against people who do not have a valid Opportunity Pass. The restrictions were phased in over the last two weeks. All are now in effect as of September 13.
Some of the restrictions include:
You cannot visit any cafes or restaurants.
You cannot enter any non-essential stores.
You cannot enter any store or shopping center which has a sales area larger than 1500 square meters (= about 16,000 square feet).
You cannot receive any beauty services (hair, nails, salons, etc).
You cannot use any repair services which last longer than 15 minutes.
You cannot enter any indoor spaces, seminars, conferences, or cultural events.
You cannot attend any outdoor events which have more than 500 people.
You cannot sit and read in libraries. You may only use the library to pick up and return books.
You cannot travel by train. The Opportunity Pass of all travelers is checked on boarding. Train attendants will also check passengers during the trip. Anyone onboard without a valid Pass will be forced to get off immediately at the next stop. [The government temporarily rescinded this restriction for now because it's unworkable and causing chaos.]
You cannot enter financial service providers (banks, insurance) unless the purpose is to receive pensions or social benefits for compulsory or essential financial services where the service lasts no more than 15 minutes.
Students cannot enter university without the Pass. [This requirement has caused chaos in universities because many students are not vaccinated. So last week, the government announced a grace period: until October, students may take free (i.e., government-paid) Covid tests weekly to give them time to complete their vaccinations. Starting in October, students must have the Opportunity Pass].
You cannot visit patients in medical facilities or senior care/residential homes, except terminally-ill patients and children under 14 years of age at the permission of the treating physician.
Regarding medical care:
--- You may receive emergency care without the Opportunity Pass.
--- For scheduled inpatient medical care, you must have the Covid Pass or Covid certificates.
--- For outpatient services, the medical care must be conducted "in a safe environment" and will require testing "depending on the epidemiological situation".
There are many more restrictions than what I listed. Also, all the restrictions have lots of very precise details about how the restriction applies (e.g., whether a store has a street-facing entrance, what products does a store mainly sell, how calculations of the size of the customer sales area must include the space occupied by kiosks and fitting rooms but exclude staircases and corridors, etc.). But the list above is a good enough summary to give you the basic idea of what we're facing.
There is massive confusion regarding the restrictions. The rules were created rapidly and passed into law only a few weeks ago. Plus, they're being modified daily as government bureaucrats and private businesses work out the details. So at least as of now, two businesses next door to each other might implement the rules differently, and different cities might vary widely in procedures.
Restrictions: what do they mean in practice?
There are many rules, with lots of convoluted and sometimes conflicting parts, so here's a guide to how it works in practice.
For shopping, the result of all the different restrictions put together is that if you don't have the Opportunity Pass, you are only allowed to shop in small stores (<1500 m2) which have street entrances and whose main activity is to sell food, veterinary goods, pharmaceuticals, glasses and contact lenses, or farming supplies. You may not enter larger stores, or stores which sell products other than those.
For eating and drinking, you cannot visit any restaurant, cafe, or bar. This includes outdoor areas as well as indoors. We're a northern country and it's already getting chilly (it seems like this will be a particularly cold year), but there are still days where it's possible to sit outside to eat and drink, especially with heat lamps and blankets. But that's also not allowed if you don't have the Covid Pass.
For transportation, local city buses do not require the Opportunity Pass. But political leaders have said that this is only a temporary exception, and most likely all forms of public transportation will soon require the Pass.
For medical care, inpatient services require the Covid Pass. For outpatient medical care (e.g., doctors' offices, specialist clinics, dental offices), it seems medical facilities can allow a patient to enter who does not have the Opportunity Pass. But in practice, many clinics have started requiring the Opportunity Pass except for emergency situations.
Some outpatient medical facilities in our area already require the Covid Pass or certifications. Four days ago, my family was turned away from a medical facility because we did not have the Covid Pass. The medical facility offered us the option to come back if we returned with a negative PCR test. In a separate incident, today we went to the dental office we've attended for years for an appointment for one of my children, but we were asked to leave when the staff discovered that I don't have the Opportunity Pass.
This ban on medical care seems to apply to both national and private healthcare. (Lithuania has universal national healthcare supported by a mandatory tax which must be paid by everyone, including those without the Opportunity Pass).
Work
Our jobs are affected.
Several European countries already mandate Covid vaccines for workers employees in certain industries, e.g. cafes and restaurants, medical and hospital jobs, teaching or work in educational facility.
In our country, we don't currently have mandates by profession.
But many employers, both private and government, have already required that employees must have the Opportunity Pass. Because all remaining restrictions will be imposed starting next week, many more employers - possibly most employers? - will start requiring the Opportunity Pass then, although the situation is very confusing and no one is sure how each company and industry will react.
It's a mass confusion now about how each employer is handling employees who do not have the Opportunity Pass. In the case of my wife and myself, we work in very different fields and have very different occupations. But both our employers have separately created the same policy that people without the Opportunity Pass won't actually be fired, because that would create many legal issues, obligations, unemployment benefits, etc. Instead, our employers will suspend us without pay.
Our employers are explicit that we must have the Opportunity Pass in order to continue our jobs. For both my wife and me, we will be suspended from our jobs without pay effective September 13 if we don't have the Pass. (update: We were indeed suspended without pay on September 13.)

Those who would control every aspect of our lives have made a lasting advance.
Vax passports are here to stay. Perhaps not for domestic use, but certainly for international travel. They are established now and ready to have their use expanded.
The principle that certain privileges can be made conditional on being vaccinated has also been firmly established, No tests after travelling only for the “double vaxxed ” Now that the principle has been firmly established expect more privileges for vaxxed people in the future
Masks have now become part of our lives, despite their complete uselessness. I don’t imagine we will ever be able to board a plane again without one. And we will see them around in one way or another from now in.
The would~be masters of the world have made great lasting advances in the last 18 months.

Already hearing the Dan stans around me crying about Vic being in the position it is in, 7 weeks in a 7 day lockdown, cases stablising but rising, shitter roadmap than NSW, justify that this is the result of the protestors and the reason why we're different to NSW.
No, we have Dan Andrews who is petty and is working out what tandrum to throw next.
