People were arrested for in person gatherings and not getting the spike protein.
We shouldn’t be surprised by this policy
In Australia voting is mandatory. You cannot choose to abstain.
Australia 🇦🇺 denied entry to Novak. He wasted his time flying there for the Australian open. The COVID regime wanted to embarrass a tennis celebrity publicly
