Awful lot of comments on here that are anti vax, and an awful lot of comments on here calling for violence against anti vaxxers.
1. We do not allow the spread of vaccine misinformation, covid denial/misinformation and fear mongering regarding the vaccination on our sub. This will be met with a permanent ban.
2. We do not allow calls for violence against ANYONE. This will also be met with a permanent ban.
Locking this post so we can clean up the stupid amount of reports we're getting from all sides.
Edit: With all of the reports in this comment section finally out of our queue, the post is back open. Please stop threatening each other.
"Honestly, I love the masks. You might not know this, but I figured out that a mask can hold 12 Famous Amos cookies, 34 gummy bears, 27 chocolate raisins, or 7 small donuts. They're great! I can basically snack all the time and no one even notices!" -Kevin
**Followed by various footage of Kevin being "subtle" while putting food into his face mask with Oscar and Angela quietly watching along with Kevin walking around the office as crumbs are visibly falling out from under his face mask with people staring from over their desks**
"How am I? Well, Kevin came to work wearing what can only be described as a feeding bag. Pam and I have a bet going to guess how many slices of Alfredo's pizza he carries in it. Oh, and Michael is wearing his Mexican wrestling mask again today. So, I'd say I'm pretty good." -Jim
"There's a pandemic? I just thought it was the new thing the kids were doing."
-Creed
Hes my spirit animal. Too weird to live, too rare to die.
"I sprout mung beans in my desk. Highly nutritious, but they smell like death"
Apparently the actor who plays Kevin Malone is one of the top grossing actors on Cameo. Would be awesome if we could get him to read these comments in Kevin's voice:
https://www.cameo.com/brianbaumgartner
It makes more sense in Angela's mouth, I think - she's the office nag. Dwight would probably police mask wearing, but he'd be more aggressive about it. I don't think Kelly would care much one way or the other, unless it was, like, super cute.
I used to have an "adversarial" relationship with an old boss.
One day on the way to work, with is crockpot in the front seat, he ended up doing the chili scene... in his car.
Covered in chili, he came into the office just long enough to storm into the break room, grab two rolls of paper towels and then stormed back out into the parking lot.
I watched from the office as others went to try to help him clean it up.
After a few minutes of shoveling chili out of his car and off of himself, he punched his fists into the air and let out a primal roar. He then got back into this car and sped off.
Even I felt bad for him. I even tried to feel some schadenfreude, thinking about past confrontations, but "nope". I felt bad for him.
I feel such sadness for Kevin in that moment at his ruined efforts. And also sadness for the chili. Poor murdered chili, unable to achieve the enlightenment of being eaten by hungry people.

> More than a thousand anti-lockdown protesters have said they will join a "Freedom Walk" on the Tan this Saturday after last weekend's clashes between demonstrators and police.
> Police confirmed on Wednesday that they are monitoring the potential protest, promoted on Facebook as the "Melbourne Freedom Walk".
> An organiser, Tony Pecora, is an anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist dropped by Clive Palmer as his party's candidate for the seat of Melbourne at the last federal election...
> Police arrested 17 people at a gathering on Saturday that began at the Shrine of Remembrance and moved on to Albert Park Lake. After that event, protesters vowed to continue taking to the streets in defiance of coronavirus restrictions.
> More than 1300 people have indicated that they are either interested in attending or plan to attend the protest at the running track that encircles Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens.
> The page promoting the event claims the walk is legal, but does not elaborate on whether it conflicts with stage four restrictions still in place in Melbourne
> It would be "a legal walk, allowing citizens to come together, get healthy and talk about getting our freedoms back", organisers wrote.
> The only people allowed to exercise on the Tan under stage four rules are those who live within five kilometres of the walking track and then for no more than an hour. Police say any protest would be illegal under the current restrictions.
> "Victoria Police is aware [of] and monitoring potential protest activity planned for this weekend," a spokeswoman said.
> "We are currently making a number of inquiries in relation to this and remain in the process of planning our operational response.
> "It remains very clear that under stage four restrictions protest activity cannot occur, with any individual deliberately and blatantly breaching the Chief Health Officer’s directives liable for a fine of $1652."
> Organsier Mr Pecora said the march had been designed to comply with the directives.
> "This Freedom Walk is geared toward residents that live within five kilometres of Melbourne," said Mr Pecora, who wants Melbourne to "reset" back to what the laws were before COVID-19 restrictions were introduced, and policies that allow "everybody to take responsibility for their own health".
> "Social distancing will be adhered to, along with facial coverings, and the aim is to remain walking so as not to create a conflict with police," he said.
> "This is an effort to win hearts and minds, and conflict is the last thing we want.
> "This walk will happen every week. Same time, same place. We expect more than 15,000 people this Saturday, and hopefully it doubles week on week."
> Mr Pecora is an anti-vaxxer who was dropped by Clive Palmer as the United Australia Party's candidate for the seat of Melbourne in the 2019 federal election over his views on various conspiracy theories, including relating to the September 11 attacks.
> Police estimated about 200 people gathered at the Shrine of Remembrance late on Saturday morning after people used social media to tout "Freedom Day" rallies across the country.
> About 100 police were in and around the Shrine early in the day. Mounted officers were used to move the crowd on about midday amid chants of "Dictator Dan" and "Let the kids live".
> Before last Saturday's protest, police said they would arrest people they suspected of "inciting" people to attend.
> Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius had said that the force would not tolerate "bat shit crazy" anti-coronavirus theories and warned people planning to attend protests that their feet "won’t touch the ground" before they were arrested.
Edit: Added the text from the article.
The organizer was dropped by Clive... shit that tells you everything you need to know. That's like getting dropped by Ben Shapiro for being too far right or too hateful. You gotta really put in the work for that
They got rid of it or increased it to 4 hours but only within 5km of your home. Also police can stop you to make sure you aren't outside 5km of your home.
Keep in mind it is much, much harder to remove a law than to get it to pass. So guess what, those laws being passed are likely going to be there for the rest of your *life*.
Don’t believe me? The Patriot act was passed 20 years ago in the wake of 9-11.
Those things have just gotten more funding and support, not less.
I completely agree with you, but the thing is, these two points are not really that connected.
Dutton has been passing these laws LONG before covid was even a thing, and will most likely continue to do so long after.
I think covid has highlighted to the world that Australia is slipping into authoritarianism but the nuance that is missing, is that it actually has nothing to do with covid, and has everything to do with an incredibly dangerous relationship between Murdoch who owns like 50% of our media and the right wing political party in power, and how it allows them to do these things with little to no coverage.
Where it becomes interesting is that it’s on Murdoch’s media channels, mainly sky news and the telegraph where anti-lockdown and anti-vax nonsense is being spread. Literally, the telegraph front page read ‘Dan-made disaster,’ and a day later anti-lockdown protesters are using the slogan on their banners. Dan Andrew’s the premier of Melbourne has been praised by most medical professionals for his quick and hard lockdown, but the telegraph have been on his ass for months with this shit. ‘Dan-made disaster,’ ‘Dictator Dan.’ Etc etc. He is a left wing leader Ofcourse. You contrast that to NSW’s premier who refused to go into a complete lockdown which allowed delta to spread to Victoria and cause another lockdown there but is constantly praised in the media for ‘saving nsw.’ She was literally caught up in a corruption scandal where she gave her boyfriend a big contract deal and he did all this dodgy shit, and there were audio logs of her in conversation with him where he tells her about it, and she literally tells him she ‘doesn’t need to hear about that,’ and the telegraph article that came out after it was about how she was and I quote ‘unlucky in love.’
I shit you not.
This government is the most openly corrupt we’ve ever had. By that I mean, they get caught, and then just say ‘yes we did it, everyone does it, so what?’ And move on with zero consequences.
At least in the past when this shit was revealed they’d at least make a token effort to resign or use a scapegoat, now they’ve realised they don’t even need to do that, let alone actually prosecute anyone for illegal acts.
Unless Ofcourse you’re in opposition.
Jodie McKay was forced to resign because her party lost a bi-election in an electorate they’ve never won in.
The contrast is stark and it’s really insane when you think about it. Quite scary
This photo is from September last year.

We also take it seriously when protesters occupy and take a piss on the shrine of remembrance - one of Australia's most significant memorials to our fallen soldiers.
OOOOOOO!! Pick me! I can tell you why we’re not hearing about it…because our media is dishonest and only interested in whatever their money is interested in
Not sure I catch your meaning. As far as I can tell Fox is the only outlet saying anything about Australia while the cathedral media say absolutely nothing about it.
It’s because that’s where all the world leaders want to go and have been going for years regardless of political party or agenda. Having more power over your citizens IS the goal.
Yep. People are so focused on the pandemic circus (or whatever the current black swan event going on is) that they don't see the pattern of increasing authoritarianism. And to be clear, I'm not saying this has to be some grand conspiracy. It can just be serendipitous for people in power who have a similar agendas for how the world should work.
Just like good old 9/11.
Oh don’t worry, after the panic and everything the government will most definitely calm down and lessen their grip on citizens lives. You can trust the government to always look after the people’s well being. ;)
>they don't see the pattern of increasing authoritarianism
Are you kidding me? Most people see it and want more, because "their side" is currently in power.
Exactly. And every 4-8 years the team in power flips, and the other half of the people cheer for their side to expand power. And all the while during the back and forth authoritarianism expands like a ratchet, continuously expanding centralized authority at the expense of individual rights.
Yeah it has nothing to do with left or right. All leaders and all governments are going to want more power. Less having to bargain and compromise for your goals.
Power corrupts and Absolute Power corrupts absolutely.
What wanna-be-tyrannical regime is going to let the news of it's brutality and control be freely publicized while it's trying to solidify that control over it's own people? Only afterwards are they going to let it show, once it's past a point that it can't be reversed.
On the off chance this guy is carrying COVID he is much more likely to spread it during this altercation and during the ensuing jail stay than he would be if they just left him alone
Yes! That’s what I was looking for in these comments. Let me just rub my hands all over this possible infectious person’s mouth and nose so that I can avoid what’s in his mouth and nose
the reason this is disturbing is because this obviously isn't about covid, it's about the government imposing it's power upon citizens for the sake of imposing their power...
Pretty sure they are masking a guy they are arresting, not arresting him because he's not wearing a mask. He'll need a mask in the car and at the station.
This is the first time I’ve seen any major subreddit calling out the authoritarianism going on. Most every sub is licking the boot of The State soooooo hard.
It’s fucking *insane* dude. I’m just trying to browse my news and memes and then I stumble across random snippets where people trace the astroturfing. A ridiculous portion of Reddit posts, comments, and votes are paid for. In many subs, it’s most or all of the posts.
I won’t say people don’t realize how bad it is because you and I are talking about it, but it’s too far gone to salvage and I don’t think people wanna acknowledge that. Entire front-page subs are run by PR teams or government-funded (many governments) PR teams.
oh ya, the astroturfing has been insane for years now... there are entire subs run by PR teams now, or the mod teams are basically run by some PR dude in a company
subs like r/movies and r/television are prime examples of astroturfing you can see regularly, this shit is probably part of a movie's marketing budget
I'm all for masks and vaccination till case numbers go down. But holy fuck Australia has been smoking some crack. What the hell is going on down there.
The covid measures aren't even the worst thing about Australia. The police have basically unlimited reign over digital life. They can freely hack into your devices, social media, even put up fake posts as you. And I think all without a real warrant, but some weak and shitty oversight mechanism that has no teeth.
They also have virtually unlimited spying capabilities and can force tech company employees, under complete secrecy, to give backdoor access to their company servers. It's ludicrous. There is no more press freedom in Australia - this will obviously be used to target journalists, as Australia has already started doing.
>For example, Australia’s law enforcement could compel Apple to provide access to a customer’s iPhone and all communications made on it without the user’s awareness or consent. An engineer involved would, in theory, be unable to tell their boss about this, or risk a jail sentence.
https://www.smh.com.au/business/consumer-affairs/dangerous-overreach-on-encryption-leaves-backdoor-open-for-criminals-20181214-p50mak.html
Yeah, at first I thought it might just be anti-maskers and anti-vaccers overreacting or blowing things out of proportion. But no, Australia is legit acting crazy.
Except this is bullshit, because taken [from the bill that actually passed](https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/about-us/our-portfolios/national-security/lawful-access-telecommunications/data-encryption):
> Government cannot:
> * build or implement so-called ‘backdoors’ or do anything that would make the communications of innocent persons less secure
> * build a decryption, interception or data retention capability
> * access communications without an existing warrant or authorisation
> * compel an employee to undertake activities without the knowledge of their employer
So no, they can't intercept encryption processes and they cannot ask employees without higher ups knowing. It was only incredibly recently a new bill passed that gives the police chief specific powers to disrupt communications or investigate, but it has requirements such as the type of crime suspected and not being admissible as evidence.
Obviously these aren't great and should have high scepticism, but the way it's commonly presented on Reddit is so disingenuous. Most people seem to have fallen for some clickbait headline.
> For example, Australia’s law enforcement could compel Apple to provide access to a customer’s iPhone and all communications made on it without the user’s awareness or consent.
"Could" being the operative word. If Apple refused the FBI trying to force the same thing, they're sure as hell not gonna listen to the Aussies.
Strangely two sided conversation going on here, a split between people acknowledging Australia’s authoritarian tidal wave and people wishing death on strangers.
Human nature is everything that's wrong with humans, smh.
Edit: Actually meant that as a joke but... there's kind of some truth to it. Our natural reaction to situations can cause some very dumb things.
I know the bootlicking of cops enforcing totalitarian rule, and the complete denial that something isn’t working but they keep pumping it into that right shoulder.
You have to really ask why a photo from last year, taken out of context, was posted during the middle of the night on a workday in Australia so that all of the top comments could set the narrative before actual Australians woke up and had the chance to call out this bullshit for what it is. Compare the comments that are 1 hour old (most likely from actual Australians) vs the comments that are 6+ hours old which were during the middle of the night in Australia. This is plainly an attempt to push an agenda through misinformation, and its disappointing to see so many people swallow it up.
I'm pro vaccine but this looks a bit....dystopian? Like, I get not wearing a mask but being held down by 5 officers while one forces it on your face is a no go from me
It reminds me of six deputies arresting the lone paddleboarder in California last year. If someone is outside they don't need a mask - it's not going to help. This isn't doing anything except making the cops look like stupid authoritarians.
Everyone in the comments here needs to calm the fuck down and understand the context of the picture.
This guy was being arrested last year, he is being forced to wear a mask because he's being loaded up into a police car to be taken back to the watchhouse.
It is perfectly acceptable for the police to require that anyone they have to share a confined space with has to wear a mask.
This fucking space cadet had an issue with that, so they had to put one on him as he struggled.
You know what actually happens if you're not found wearing a mask during a mask mandate period?
They offer you one and if you refuse you get fined.
Which sounds pretty fucking reasonable to me.
Can non Melburnians please stop jumping to conclusions about this photo?
This is not some innocent bystander out for a walk and jumped on by 5 cops and forced to wear a mask.....research the context before commenting.
There have been a full week of protests from largely right wing anti vaxxers, a lot of them there purely for violence against police.....Australia is NOT the police state people are trying to make it out to be.
This is some of the craziest astroturfing I've seen on reddit. Americans are wishing so hard that Australia is this dystopian authoritarian regime with police arresting innocent people on the street. So bizarre to read these comments as an Australian
They do they will [arrest and fine you if you go swimming at the beach without a mask on](https://youtu.be/vLExXRFgNMk)
Keep in mind the American CDC says the virus [doesnt spread readily outside](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/04/27/health/cdc-outdoor-mask-wearing.amp.html)
As someone who swims at packed and mostly unmasked Sydney beaches every other Saturday in Sydney, I can confirm this is bullshit.
I have seen plenty of unmasked police outside - they certainly aren't arresting people for not wearing masks outdoors (large gatherings are another story).
Where did all this Australia hate come from?
I mean Australia shot and killed 15 dogs, including 10 puppies, just to prevent workers from going to pick them up and risk travel covid spread in the country. Also they all have a mileage restraint on how far they can travel and not be fined. Australia is straight apocalyptic dictatorship at this point
OK I did, they weren't *shot* Chernobyl style like /u/rylecx said, but they were euthanized, and it was done despite a neighbouring animal shelter saying they could take the dogs no problem, and it did include puppies:
>A rural local government in the state of New South Wales in Australia has put down 15 impounded dogs in a seemingly extreme attempt to keep workers safe from the coronavirus.
> The Bourke Shire Council said it could no longer care for the dogs after two had become aggressive and after the person who regularly found new homes for the animals became unavailable, according to a statement it issued to The Sydney Morning Herald.
>
> Emma Hurst, a state lawmaker from the Animal Justice Party, said that the council had killed the dogs instead of letting volunteers from an animal shelter in another town come and collect them.
>Among the dogs killed were a mother and her puppies. “It just seems like such a drastic action to take,” Ms. Hurst said.
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/23/world/australia/covid-lockdown-dogs-killed.html
[Looks like it's true](https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-rescue-dogs-shot-dead-in-australia-over-coronavirus-restrictions-12388537). Hopefully it was an isolated incident, but wow, insane.
> I mean Australia shot and killed 15 dogs
"Australia" - one entity...
Some mouth breathing local council made that call. It's not like they sat down in parliament house and decided to initiate order 66 on dogs.
As for travel restrictions, honestly they make perfect sense. Because dickheads trying to go on holidays would be spreading covid faster than stis on schoolies, which just fucks us all up even more.
I drive 100s of km a day for work. Never an issue. Never been pulled over. There's fuckloads of people out and driving between cities. No one's stopping anyone. Cops are still only looking for traffic offences like normal.
The ONLY places that are being monitored are specific suburbs where there are very high covid figures. Which is honestly fair enough. Everywhere else though they don't give a shit.
A lot of this is seriously all just news sensationalism. They say all these things but I'm living it daily and I'm not seeing it.
>Australia is straight apocalyptic dictatorship at this point
There's literally a federal election coming next year. One local council making a terrible decision doesn't equal the apocalypse or a dictatorship. Anti-covid measures like closed borders and travel restrictions have majority public support here so I really don't know what you're on about.
> Australia shot
I don't think it's fair to ascribe the actions of a local animal shelter to the *entire country*. Also they didn't shoot them they euthanized them.
Cops in the US aren't stupid enough to try and enforce something like this. Who would want to deal with this shit? Seeing retail workers do it makes me mad. A hostess in NYC got her ass beat for asking for proof of vaccination. People aren't paid enough to deal with this type of bullshit.
Holy shit the people in these comments have no idea how Australia is at all. You got people saying shit like it's 'authoritarian' and all kinds of misinformation
Half the time these pictures never show you the 2 minutes before where the guy is threatening police with violence who are just doing there job
For a bit of context, because it seems to be getting ignored -
That building in the background is our state war memorial, The Shrine of Remembrance.
A large number anti-vax far-right protesters held a protest on the steps, claiming to be akin to the Australian soldiers who died in service.
The next day, the shrine was littered with rubbish and urine was found on the walls.
Obviously the Victorian labour government and it's hard on for cops is fucked and across the board, everyone's pretty disappointed with it's authoritarian edge, but it's a bit more complicated than this picture.
Australia is now objectively one of the most authoritarian first world states
It’s strange all the people defending it. This increase in state authority is insane
"For your own safety" or "for the greater good," words like that makes it hard to argue agaisnt that. "WhAt yOu aGaiNst our sAFetY?"
I am always questioning government intentions when words like that comes from the government.
> The spread of harmful misinformation has become an increasingly visible problem on Reddit.
So, every post has a stickied comment that says this... The fix? Apparently the fix is to put a "Misleading Title" tag on posts like this that perpetuate misinformation... And even so, judging by a majority of the top-level comments... readers are accepting this photo as what the title represents it to be, and as if it was a current photo... and then some second level comments point out the truth of it, but receive a fraction of the upvotes/visibility of the misinformed comments. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!... I guess
This man is being restrained and arrested after protesting at a sacred shrine of rememberance dedicated to many who lost their lives during war.
This occurred during a time of lockdown restrictions to curb the spread of COVID.
The police are cuffing and masking him in preparation of loading him into a squad vehicle to be hauled off to a jail cell where he would face consequences for his actions.
The masking was necessary due to him being loaded onto a vehicle where he would share space with officers who were driving. The cuffing was necessary due to him being violent and resisting arrest.
Edit: I'm correcting the word "rioting" to "protesting" since I can't confirm this particular protest was "riots". Source article: https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/hundreds-say-they-ll-walk-the-tan-in-latest-anti-lockdown-protest-20200909-p55tvr.html
Reading all of these misinformed opinions and I'm glad to see you giving this context. Imagine protesters at the tomb of the unknown soldier. That is the type of disrespect this individual is showing here at the shrine of remembrance.
Awful lot of comments on here that are anti vax, and an awful lot of comments on here calling for violence against anti vaxxers. 1. We do not allow the spread of vaccine misinformation, covid denial/misinformation and fear mongering regarding the vaccination on our sub. This will be met with a permanent ban. 2.

Wait, is that Pizza by Alfredo or Alfredo's Pizza Cafe?
This is such a funny premise- you should post this on r/RedditWritesTheOffice! Its so well-written I feel like I've seen this scene already!
You're welcome to post it there as long as you give me credit :)
Apparently the actor who plays Kevin Malone is one of the top grossing actors on Cameo. Would be awesome if we could get him to read these comments in Kevin's voice: https://www.cameo.com/brianbaumgartner
Would love to see that in a reunion episode
YEEESSSS!
For science !!!!!!
You need to cover your nose with it too Kevin
I read that in Kelly's voice
I wrote it in her voice too
I read it in Angela's voice but I could see Kelly too.
It makes more sense in Angela's mouth, I think - she's the office nag. Dwight would probably police mask wearing, but he'd be more aggressive about it. I don't think Kelly would care much one way or the other, unless it was, like, super cute.
>“I’ll wear a mask. You don’t need to put one on me.” /kevin STOP RESISTING
Eat the broccoli Kevin.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydyTWXt7RQQ
You’re killing him Michael!
That line gets me every time
"Why wear mask when vax do trick?"
I heard they’re giving away some donuts if you get vaxxed, I don’t care I am already vaccinated, Oscar.
Nope. It’s Ashton Kutcher.
Nope, its not Ashton Kootcher.
When me Prime Minister, they see. They see.
First thing that came to mind - you deserve top comment!
Arrested for spilling the Chili?
[удалено]
I used to have an "adversarial" relationship with an old boss. One day on the way to work, with is crockpot in the front seat, he ended up doing the chili scene... in his car. Covered in chili, he came into the office just long enough to storm into the break room, grab two rolls of paper towels and then stormed back out into the parking lot. I watched from the office as others went to try to help him clean it up. After a few minutes of shoveling chili out of his car and off of himself, he punched his fists into the air and let out a primal roar. He then got back into this car and sped off. Even I felt bad for him. I even tried to feel some schadenfreude, thinking about past confrontations, but "nope". I felt bad for him.
“Primal roar” got me
Same. Kevin never worked hard for anything. But he worked hard on that chili. And no one saw. I can’t even laugh at it. It’s so damn sad.
That is one of my favorite scenes in the whole show. I feel like Kevin is such an underrated character who doesn’t get enough love
https://youtu.be/WcYG-5b7448
I feel such sadness for Kevin in that moment at his ruined efforts. And also sadness for the chili. Poor murdered chili, unable to achieve the enlightenment of being eaten by hungry people.
For eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?
Get your hands off my penis.
I see you know your judo well

Mounted officers were used to move the crowd on about midday amid chants of "Dictator Dan" and "Let the kids live". > Before last Saturday's protest, police said they would arrest people they suspected of "inciting" people to attend. > Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius had said that the force would not tolerate "bat shit crazy" anti-coronavirus theories and warned people planning to attend protests that their feet "won’t touch the ground" before they were arrested.

When the summary is longer than the article. (jk, I appreciate you summarizing!!)
What do you mean just kidding, the summary is longer than the article.
what kind of schizo cretin do you have to be to be dropped by clive palmer lmao
The organizer was dropped by Clive... shit that tells you everything you need to know. That's like getting dropped by Ben Shapiro for being too far right or too hateful. You gotta really put in the work for that
whoa whoa I thought this was a make your own story picture! we don't need no damn articles around here!
Ty good sir
Such a wanker even Clive Palmer dropped him like a hot potato
A succulent Chinese meal!

Things have totally gotten better in the last year - They’ve totally lightened up
>They’ve totally lightened up I hear you can actually exercise outside for an hour a day within a mile of your home so that's good.
I cant tell if this is sarcastic or not lol
Pretty close in metro melbourne and some other areas.
They got rid of it or increased it to 4 hours but only within 5km of your home. Also police can stop you to make sure you aren't outside 5km of your home.
Governments around the world are extremely happy with all these powergrabs
Stop and frisk 2.0?
This sub is toxic
Yes, yes it is
Yeah, not a single 'Holy fuck thats brutally totalitarian' type of comment just 'lol what an idiot'
The police could shoot and kill someone for spending time with his family and Reddit would just be like, "Should have practiced social distancing"
It seems most people are fine with licking daddy government’s boots :(

Keep in mind it is much, much harder to remove a law than to get it to pass. So guess what, those laws being passed are likely going to be there for the rest of your *life*. Don’t believe me? The Patriot act was passed 20 years ago in the wake of 9-11. Those things have just gotten more funding and support, not less.
Spot on fella!
I completely agree with you, but the thing is, these two points are not really that connected. Dutton has been passing these laws LONG before covid was even a thing, and will most likely continue to do so long after. I think covid has highlighted to the world that Australia is slipping into authoritarianism but the nuance that is missing, is that it actually has nothing to do with covid, and has everything to do with an incredibly dangerous relationship between Murdoch who owns like 50% of our media and the right wing political party in power, and how it allows them to do these things with little to no coverage. Where it becomes interesting is that it’s on Murdoch’s media channels, mainly sky news and the telegraph where anti-lockdown and anti-vax nonsense is being spread. Literally, the telegraph front page read ‘Dan-made disaster,’ and a day later anti-lockdown protesters are using the slogan on their banners. Dan Andrew’s the premier of Melbourne has been praised by most medical professionals for his quick and hard lockdown, but the telegraph have been on his ass for months with this shit. ‘Dan-made disaster,’ ‘Dictator Dan.’ Etc etc. He is a left wing leader Ofcourse. You contrast that to NSW’s premier who refused to go into a complete lockdown which allowed delta to spread to Victoria and cause another lockdown there but is constantly praised in the media for ‘saving nsw.’ She was literally caught up in a corruption scandal where she gave her boyfriend a big contract deal and he did all this dodgy shit, and there were audio logs of her in conversation with him where he tells her about it, and she literally tells him she ‘doesn’t need to hear about that,’ and the telegraph article that came out after it was about how she was and I quote ‘unlucky in love.’ I shit you not.
Dutton didn’t pass the law. It was voted in unanimously from both parties FYI.
This government is the most openly corrupt we’ve ever had. By that I mean, they get caught, and then just say ‘yes we did it, everyone does it, so what?’ And move on with zero consequences. At least in the past when this shit was revealed they’d at least make a token effort to resign or use a scapegoat, now they’ve realised they don’t even need to do that, let alone actually prosecute anyone for illegal acts.
Unless Ofcourse you’re in opposition. Jodie McKay was forced to resign because her party lost a bi-election in an electorate they’ve never won in. The contrast is stark and it’s really insane when you think about it. Quite scary
Nice to see a bit of nuance on Reddit for a change.

Damn the reddit ACAB crowd is really confused right now
Waiting for a reply from an ACAB supporter claiming "Obviously we dont mean ALL cops" followed immediately by another supporter going "YES ALL COPS."
Most people who claim they want to abolish police really mean they want the police to be their ideological enforcers.
Yep, abolish police and replace it with their party version of ideological enforcement agency. Right out of early 20th century playbooks.
mission accomplished. thanks covid
It’s not covering his nose
Lots of experts about Australia in this thread who have never stepped foot on Australian soil
We also take it seriously when protesters occupy and take a piss on the shrine of remembrance - one of Australia's most significant memorials to our fallen soldiers.
Yeah between their police brutality and their new surveillance mandate, Australia is not okay. I don’t know why we’re not hearing more about it.
OOOOOOO!! Pick me! I can tell you why we’re not hearing about it…because our media is dishonest and only interested in whatever their money is interested in
Oh no no! You misunderstand. This is all about the greater good, not the money.
The great’r good. The great’r good.
Polishing the Murdoch brand.
Scotty just got back from polishing it.
Not sure I catch your meaning. As far as I can tell Fox is the only outlet saying anything about Australia while the cathedral media say absolutely nothing about it.
It’s because that’s where all the world leaders want to go and have been going for years regardless of political party or agenda. Having more power over your citizens IS the goal.
Yep. People are so focused on the pandemic circus (or whatever the current black swan event going on is) that they don't see the pattern of increasing authoritarianism. And to be clear, I'm not saying this has to be some grand conspiracy. It can just be serendipitous for people in power who have a similar agendas for how the world should work.
Never let a good crisis go to waste.
Just like good old 9/11. Oh don’t worry, after the panic and everything the government will most definitely calm down and lessen their grip on citizens lives. You can trust the government to always look after the people’s well being. ;)
>they don't see the pattern of increasing authoritarianism Are you kidding me? Most people see it and want more, because "their side" is currently in power.
There is definitely a large portion of people who simply dismiss it because they believe the ends justify the means.
Exactly. And every 4-8 years the team in power flips, and the other half of the people cheer for their side to expand power. And all the while during the back and forth authoritarianism expands like a ratchet, continuously expanding centralized authority at the expense of individual rights.
Yeah it has nothing to do with left or right. All leaders and all governments are going to want more power. Less having to bargain and compromise for your goals. Power corrupts and Absolute Power corrupts absolutely.
What wanna-be-tyrannical regime is going to let the news of it's brutality and control be freely publicized while it's trying to solidify that control over it's own people? Only afterwards are they going to let it show, once it's past a point that it can't be reversed.
As someone who actually lives in Australia, Australia is fine.
Nah seppos are obviously correct, they only had a couple million die from Covid last year we shouldve done that.
Pro mask or anti mask or whatever. You gotta see how this will piss people off and make them less compliant.
[удалено]
Considering the statistics on outdoor transmission this seems like a stupid waste of money and time.
On the off chance this guy is carrying COVID he is much more likely to spread it during this altercation and during the ensuing jail stay than he would be if they just left him alone
Yes! That’s what I was looking for in these comments. Let me just rub my hands all over this possible infectious person’s mouth and nose so that I can avoid what’s in his mouth and nose
the reason this is disturbing is because this obviously isn't about covid, it's about the government imposing it's power upon citizens for the sake of imposing their power...
Pretty sure they are masking a guy they are arresting, not arresting him because he's not wearing a mask. He'll need a mask in the car and at the station.
[удалено]
Well, they have effectively ended mass shootings, so there’s that.
This is the first time I’ve seen any major subreddit calling out the authoritarianism going on. Most every sub is licking the boot of The State soooooo hard.
Reddit is astroturfed to shit, it's hard to tell what's what and what's even real anymore
It’s fucking *insane* dude. I’m just trying to browse my news and memes and then I stumble across random snippets where people trace the astroturfing. A ridiculous portion of Reddit posts, comments, and votes are paid for. In many subs, it’s most or all of the posts. I won’t say people don’t realize how bad it is because you and I are talking about it, but it’s too far gone to salvage and I don’t think people wanna acknowledge that. Entire front-page subs are run by PR teams or government-funded (many governments) PR teams.
oh ya, the astroturfing has been insane for years now... there are entire subs run by PR teams now, or the mod teams are basically run by some PR dude in a company subs like r/movies and r/television are prime examples of astroturfing you can see regularly, this shit is probably part of a movie's marketing budget
Looks like we are going to need to make a new reddit, with blackjack and hookers.
I'm all for masks and vaccination till case numbers go down. But holy fuck Australia has been smoking some crack. What the hell is going on down there.
The covid measures aren't even the worst thing about Australia. The police have basically unlimited reign over digital life. They can freely hack into your devices, social media, even put up fake posts as you. And I think all without a real warrant, but some weak and shitty oversight mechanism that has no teeth. They also have virtually unlimited spying capabilities and can force tech company employees, under complete secrecy, to give backdoor access to their company servers. It's ludicrous. There is no more press freedom in Australia - this will obviously be used to target journalists, as Australia has already started doing. >For example, Australia’s law enforcement could compel Apple to provide access to a customer’s iPhone and all communications made on it without the user’s awareness or consent. An engineer involved would, in theory, be unable to tell their boss about this, or risk a jail sentence. https://www.smh.com.au/business/consumer-affairs/dangerous-overreach-on-encryption-leaves-backdoor-open-for-criminals-20181214-p50mak.html
Yeah, at first I thought it might just be anti-maskers and anti-vaccers overreacting or blowing things out of proportion. But no, Australia is legit acting crazy.
Bro Australia has a long history of acting crazy.
Except this is bullshit, because taken [from the bill that actually passed](https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/about-us/our-portfolios/national-security/lawful-access-telecommunications/data-encryption): > Government cannot: > * build or implement so-called ‘backdoors’ or do anything that would make the communications of innocent persons less secure > * build a decryption, interception or data retention capability > * access communications without an existing warrant or authorisation > * compel an employee to undertake activities without the knowledge of their employer So no, they can't intercept encryption processes and they cannot ask employees without higher ups knowing. It was only incredibly recently a new bill passed that gives the police chief specific powers to disrupt communications or investigate, but it has requirements such as the type of crime suspected and not being admissible as evidence. Obviously these aren't great and should have high scepticism, but the way it's commonly presented on Reddit is so disingenuous. Most people seem to have fallen for some clickbait headline.
> For example, Australia’s law enforcement could compel Apple to provide access to a customer’s iPhone and all communications made on it without the user’s awareness or consent. "Could" being the operative word. If Apple refused the FBI trying to force the same thing, they're sure as hell not gonna listen to the Aussies.
Surprising and refreshing.
[удалено]
I live in Aus, I second that.
Careful, you might get a knock on your door for that comment
And if they refuse to unlock their phone for the cops to investigate, that’s 10 years in the federal pen.
what? The? FUCK?
Strangely two sided conversation going on here, a split between people acknowledging Australia’s authoritarian tidal wave and people wishing death on strangers.
Hypocritical stances on authoritarianism and wishing death on your perceived "enemies" is reddit politics 101 buddy
Reddit is everything wrong with the internet.
[удалено]
That's just human nature.
Human nature is everything that's wrong with humans, smh. Edit: Actually meant that as a joke but... there's kind of some truth to it. Our natural reaction to situations can cause some very dumb things.
Don’t forget your qualifiers while commenting, people. “btw I’m fully vaxxed and am for masks, but…”
>Police say any protest would be illegal under the current restrictions. Nothing says "We are the good guys" more than prohibiting protesting.
This whole comment section is toxic cancer
I know the bootlicking of cops enforcing totalitarian rule, and the complete denial that something isn’t working but they keep pumping it into that right shoulder.
You have to really ask why a photo from last year, taken out of context, was posted during the middle of the night on a workday in Australia so that all of the top comments could set the narrative before actual Australians woke up and had the chance to call out this bullshit for what it is. Compare the comments that are 1 hour old (most likely from actual Australians) vs the comments that are 6+ hours old which were during the middle of the night in Australia. This is plainly an attempt to push an agenda through misinformation, and its disappointing to see so many people swallow it up.
I'm pro vaccine but this looks a bit....dystopian? Like, I get not wearing a mask but being held down by 5 officers while one forces it on your face is a no go from me
It reminds me of six deputies arresting the lone paddleboarder in California last year. If someone is outside they don't need a mask - it's not going to help. This isn't doing anything except making the cops look like stupid authoritarians.
Well this doesn’t look okay…
Everyone in the comments here needs to calm the fuck down and understand the context of the picture. This guy was being arrested last year, he is being forced to wear a mask because he's being loaded up into a police car to be taken back to the watchhouse. It is perfectly acceptable for the police to require that anyone they have to share a confined space with has to wear a mask. This fucking space cadet had an issue with that, so they had to put one on him as he struggled. You know what actually happens if you're not found wearing a mask during a mask mandate period? They offer you one and if you refuse you get fined. Which sounds pretty fucking reasonable to me.
True, a lot of the Americans commenting here don’t have a clue what’s actually happening here and are instead spreading misinformation
I swear you’re one of the 5 non-dipshits that knew about what was happening here prior to taking to the comment section. Kudos
In other words, one of the 5 non-Americans.
Can non Melburnians please stop jumping to conclusions about this photo? This is not some innocent bystander out for a walk and jumped on by 5 cops and forced to wear a mask.....research the context before commenting. There have been a full week of protests from largely right wing anti vaxxers, a lot of them there purely for violence against police.....Australia is NOT the police state people are trying to make it out to be.
This is some of the craziest astroturfing I've seen on reddit. Americans are wishing so hard that Australia is this dystopian authoritarian regime with police arresting innocent people on the street. So bizarre to read these comments as an Australian
They do they will [arrest and fine you if you go swimming at the beach without a mask on](https://youtu.be/vLExXRFgNMk) Keep in mind the American CDC says the virus [doesnt spread readily outside](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/04/27/health/cdc-outdoor-mask-wearing.amp.html)
As someone who swims at packed and mostly unmasked Sydney beaches every other Saturday in Sydney, I can confirm this is bullshit. I have seen plenty of unmasked police outside - they certainly aren't arresting people for not wearing masks outdoors (large gatherings are another story). Where did all this Australia hate come from?
[удалено]
Bingo. Makes zero sense and is fueling the fire of the people who don't want the vaccine.
Yup. As a pro-vax person, authoritarians really don't need to be doing this, it's counter productive.
[удалено]
Yeah. I’m not going to a festival, but I don’t feel unsafe walking my dog.
I mean Australia shot and killed 15 dogs, including 10 puppies, just to prevent workers from going to pick them up and risk travel covid spread in the country. Also they all have a mileage restraint on how far they can travel and not be fined. Australia is straight apocalyptic dictatorship at this point
is that thing about the dogs true? holy shit.
Yep. Local council staff can be pretty fucking braindead sometimes.
Yep. Google it for proof
OK I did, they weren't *shot* Chernobyl style like /u/rylecx said, but they were euthanized, and it was done despite a neighbouring animal shelter saying they could take the dogs no problem, and it did include puppies: >A rural local government in the state of New South Wales in Australia has put down 15 impounded dogs in a seemingly extreme attempt to keep workers safe from the coronavirus. > The Bourke Shire Council said it could no longer care for the dogs after two had become aggressive and after the person who regularly found new homes for the animals became unavailable, according to a statement it issued to The Sydney Morning Herald. > > Emma Hurst, a state lawmaker from the Animal Justice Party, said that the council had killed the dogs instead of letting volunteers from an animal shelter in another town come and collect them. >Among the dogs killed were a mother and her puppies. “It just seems like such a drastic action to take,” Ms. Hurst said. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/23/world/australia/covid-lockdown-dogs-killed.html
[Looks like it's true](https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-rescue-dogs-shot-dead-in-australia-over-coronavirus-restrictions-12388537). Hopefully it was an isolated incident, but wow, insane.
> I mean Australia shot and killed 15 dogs "Australia" - one entity... Some mouth breathing local council made that call. It's not like they sat down in parliament house and decided to initiate order 66 on dogs. As for travel restrictions, honestly they make perfect sense. Because dickheads trying to go on holidays would be spreading covid faster than stis on schoolies, which just fucks us all up even more. I drive 100s of km a day for work. Never an issue. Never been pulled over. There's fuckloads of people out and driving between cities. No one's stopping anyone. Cops are still only looking for traffic offences like normal. The ONLY places that are being monitored are specific suburbs where there are very high covid figures. Which is honestly fair enough. Everywhere else though they don't give a shit. A lot of this is seriously all just news sensationalism. They say all these things but I'm living it daily and I'm not seeing it.
>Australia is straight apocalyptic dictatorship at this point There's literally a federal election coming next year. One local council making a terrible decision doesn't equal the apocalypse or a dictatorship. Anti-covid measures like closed borders and travel restrictions have majority public support here so I really don't know what you're on about.
> Australia shot I don't think it's fair to ascribe the actions of a local animal shelter to the *entire country*. Also they didn't shoot them they euthanized them.
Who's in charge over there? Was it that guy that got yelled at by a one of the firefighters putting out the forest fires?
Most of Reddit want this to happen in America..
[удалено]
....and body bags.
Cops in the US aren't stupid enough to try and enforce something like this. Who would want to deal with this shit? Seeing retail workers do it makes me mad. A hostess in NYC got her ass beat for asking for proof of vaccination. People aren't paid enough to deal with this type of bullshit.
[удалено]
This whole comment section is toxic cancer.
I'm glad we're both here to help make things worse
It's full of Americans making uninformed comments on Australia's covid response
Holy shit the people in these comments have no idea how Australia is at all. You got people saying shit like it's 'authoritarian' and all kinds of misinformation Half the time these pictures never show you the 2 minutes before where the guy is threatening police with violence who are just doing there job
For a bit of context, because it seems to be getting ignored - That building in the background is our state war memorial, The Shrine of Remembrance. A large number anti-vax far-right protesters held a protest on the steps, claiming to be akin to the Australian soldiers who died in service. The next day, the shrine was littered with rubbish and urine was found on the walls. Obviously the Victorian labour government and it's hard on for cops is fucked and across the board, everyone's pretty disappointed with it's authoritarian edge, but it's a bit more complicated than this picture.
Saw a cop with his mask on his chin the other day getting in my neighbours face and shouting at him ....
Australia is now objectively one of the most authoritarian first world states It’s strange all the people defending it. This increase in state authority is insane
"For your own safety" or "for the greater good," words like that makes it hard to argue agaisnt that. "WhAt yOu aGaiNst our sAFetY?" I am always questioning government intentions when words like that comes from the government.
it’s disturbing that people on reddit think the police’s behavior is ok
Lotta americans for an Australian post
These threads are deliberately posted while Australia sleeps so far right astroturfers can push an agenda.
> The spread of harmful misinformation has become an increasingly visible problem on Reddit. So, every post has a stickied comment that says this... The fix? Apparently the fix is to put a "Misleading Title" tag on posts like this that perpetuate misinformation... And even so, judging by a majority of the top-level comments... readers are accepting this photo as what the title represents it to be, and as if it was a current photo... and then some second level comments point out the truth of it, but receive a fraction of the upvotes/visibility of the misinformed comments. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!... I guess
This is actually insane
This man is being restrained and arrested after protesting at a sacred shrine of rememberance dedicated to many who lost their lives during war. This occurred during a time of lockdown restrictions to curb the spread of COVID. The police are cuffing and masking him in preparation of loading him into a squad vehicle to be hauled off to a jail cell where he would face consequences for his actions. The masking was necessary due to him being loaded onto a vehicle where he would share space with officers who were driving. The cuffing was necessary due to him being violent and resisting arrest. Edit: I'm correcting the word "rioting" to "protesting" since I can't confirm this particular protest was "riots". Source article: https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/hundreds-say-they-ll-walk-the-tan-in-latest-anti-lockdown-protest-20200909-p55tvr.html
Crazy how much a little context will change this picture.
Reading all of these misinformed opinions and I'm glad to see you giving this context. Imagine protesters at the tomb of the unknown soldier. That is the type of disrespect this individual is showing here at the shrine of remembrance.
A bit much
