    Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that Australia will end it's "covid zero" policy because the current approach is "not sustainable". Good to see that he finally figured that out.

    I read the PM said the restrictions would not be lifted till 80% of the country is vaccinated. Doubtful they get 80% participation any time soon.

    Australia are similar to us in New Zealand (we are currently in hard lock down) in that elimination is/was possible by lock downs. Most parts of Australia and all of NZ have lived normal lives for the past 18 months completely covid free so why not try drag that out as long as possible? We all know we'll have to live with it at some stage but that doesn't need to be now. Doesn't help that both our vax rates are extremely low of course.

    Thousands of Americans dead every year from guns, Hundreds of thousands of Americans dead from Covid last year and you think they are morons??? I used to think America was the best place on earth. Today it’s littered with dummies with guns.

    And dumbasses like Mngambler calling us cucks!!!!

    In New Zealand do you guys think the people who cry about having to put up with inconvenience and won't take any hardship for the country are the cucks?

    And the tough ones are willing to do what is best for all even if it bothers them?


    I know in Australia the MNgamblers are laughed at as cry babies. His photo would be next to "Cuckold" in an Antipodean dictionary for sure!

    Have any of you cry babies who are wringing your hands about how NZ and Australia handle our business noticed that Americans seem to hate all your politicians and hate on anything your govts have done?


    Do you see Aussies or Kiwis hating on their gov responses? (no, unless you make up shit like Archie did bumping this thread. Or maybe lie that kids are taken from parents and forced to be vaccinated, or that we want to kill all the stray dogs)


    MNgambler and Archie would be able to come up with at least ONE TRUTHFUL claim if they had any ground to stand on. But every single claim made so far is just complete lies!

    Even hehfest has given up trying to push lies about Australia/NZ as he knows he lost this battle. NZ and Aussies doing the best in world, easily.

    America has gone to shit. Too many dummies here. They hate everyone and everything. You can't even get people to agree to disagree here. Too many are unwilling to cooperate. They spend most of their day making fun of everyone by creating memes and fake photos. They think it's macho but they are the biggest pussies.

    My state plans to remove all restrictions in November.

    Economy booming.

    Hardly anyone has died.

    Look on and be jealous.

    You naysayers should be. Would not swap Australia situation for any US state if you paid me 100k to go back and spend the last 18 months anywhere there.

    Ya'll seriously bonkers.


    Australia is killing it compared to any other country you could name.

    And not even one single US state would even rank in the top 50 closest competitors to our success v covid.

    20-21 months into the pandemic

    surely a small island like Australia with a #. near half the population of California is just about fully vaccinated, right?

    There really is not many protestors Arch. Seriously.

    There are more cops than protestors.

    Loud doesn't mean majority, or supported by the general public.

    I'll try to remember to remind you when they win by a landslide in the next election early next year.

    It's more of a lock than Trump being able to beat Biden 2nd time around!

    I think I mentioned that the plan was to remove all restrictions before xmas earlier?

    So far my state has already surpassed 80% single shot and is on target to hit the 80% double shot before the end of November.


    Then we re-open, and then you can point fingers as much as you like, if it turns out we all start dying anyway.

    Or you might then have to admit Australia got it right and has the best result medically and economically in the world?


    Feels like we are doing way better than California despite the very late start to vaccinating starting. Here on the ground.
