Australia Police Goes Door to Door: "Are You Aware Of Any Planned Protests Or Events Coming Up?"

A trio of Australian police officers visited a man claiming they are doing "welfare checks" to ask residents if they plan on participating in the ongoing protests against COVID-19 mitigation efforts. The man in this video was asked if he has plans or if he knows anyone who has plans to protest and if he has participated in protests in the past.

"Have you gone to any protest in the past?" the policeman asked.

"No, I'm not going to answer that, you guys wouldn't be here otherwise," the man says.

The state of Victoria and capital city Melbourne is currently the most volatile city with lockdowns and many people unhappy. The leader has not handled the covid situation very well.
We are all keeping a eye on Victoria.

I must admit I feel caught in between as I don't fully trust the govt but don't want to swallow every theory
The state I live in fortunately is alot better but there are concerns

My wife and I went out with some other christian couples last night and 3 of them are very upset and totally against the vaccine and the way govt is handling it
There are divisions between spouses, churches, pastors and their sheep over the whole situation - it is causing alot of confusion and tension

The media have ramped up promoting young kids getting the vaccine which of course will put pressure on other families

I started this thread to get some info from someone who lives there. I have watched many videos with things happening in Australia. And now I'm asking TT if this is true...


As far as the several billion people dying, we're all waiting, hoping and praying it doesn't happen. But so far, with the amount of people injured and killed by this jab is, at the very least, alarming and frightening. The booster shots are coming and with each shot is more risk of injury and death.

Everything is a risk, to some even potentially lethal. Most medications, supplements, foods etc. And of course, vaccines. More people in Norway died or got sick or disabled from the swine flu vaccine than from the swine flu itself. The government admits as much, in hindsight. The risk involving the disease itself wasn't high enough that the risk of taking the vaccine was worth it.

Here in Norway the health authorities and the government have decided to follow Denmark and open up society completely. This is largely due to 68 percent of the population having received two doses of the vaccine and 77 percent having received one dose, so far. Like Australia, the Norwegian government has always had a very low death rate as its goal and going by excess deaths, the death rate has been lower than average since March 2020.

Note that the system is on standby, which makes it easy for authorities to take measures again whenever they want.

The only area that I know of that isn't on national standby, because they basically do their own thing, is the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. I talk to people up there several times per year. I suspect that it's similar on large Antarctic bases, at least on the American McMurdo base.

How long they will keep populations on standby is an interesting question. It could take several years before they relent.
