The Australian army has begun forcibly removing residents in the Northern Territories to the Howard Springs quarantine camp located in Darwin, after nine new Covid-19 cases were identified in the community of Binjari. The move comes after hard lockdowns were instituted in the communities of both Binjari and nearby Rockhole on Saturday night.
“Residents of Binjari and Rockhole no longer have the five reasons to leave their homes,” said Northern Territory chief minister, Michael Gunner, referring to the country’s five allowable reasons to avoid lockdown (buying food and supplies, exercising for up to two hours, care or caregiving, work or education if it can’t be done from home, and to get vaccinated at the nearest possible location).
“They can only leave for medical treatment, in an emergency, or as required by law.”
“It’s highly likely that more residents will be transferred to Howard Springs today, either as positive cases or close contacts,” he continued, adding “We have already identified 38 close contacts from Binjari but that number will go up. Those 38 are being transferred now.”
“I contacted the Prime Minister last night. We are grateful for the support of about 20 ADF personnel, as well as army trucks to assist with the transfer of positive cases and close contacts – and to support the communities.
We are doing an assessment today of what extra resources we might need from the Feds, and the Prime Minister is ready to help further – I thank him for that.”
Watch:
“We’re conscious of the fact that this can have some impacts on people’s mental health as well as their general well being,” Police Commissioner Jamie Chalkner told NT News.
Of note, the Northern Territories are home to a large percentage of indigenous Australians. As the Epoch Times‘ Steve Milne notes:
According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, in 2018-19, almost one in five Indigenous Australians lived in overcrowded dwellings (18 percent), compared to 5 percent of non-Indigenous Australians. Although this percentage had decreased from 27 percent in 2004, it still meant an estimated 145,340 Indigenous Australians were living in overcrowded dwellings in 2018-19.
In addition, the more remote an area, the higher the proportion of Indigenous Australians living in overcrowded dwellings (26 percent in remote areas and 51 percent in “very remote” areas), compared to 8 and 22 percent in non-remote areas.
Five days ago, NT Senator Malarndirri McCarthy told ABC that over crowding in Indigenous communities was a “massive problem,” pointing to the region’s second cluster of new infections – which included nine members of McCarthy’s direct family, including her sister who flew from Katherine to Robinson River while unknowingly bringing COVID-19 with her, per the report.
“If we could get housing in there right now, I would be pushing that straight away to the federal government and the NT government to work on that, but we obviously need the resources to do so,” she said.
Of the nine new cases in Binjari, four are women and five are men, including a 78-year-old woman who has been transported to Darwin Hospital.
There were zero new COVID-19 cases reported on Sunday, however Minister Gunner said he was worried about ‘mingling between households’ in Binjari and Rockhole, whose populations are around 220 and 130 respectively.
On Sunday, Gunner said: “Yes, these are strong measures, but the threat to lives is extreme.”

All the more reason to buy more ammo .
Really? Only if everyone’s on the same page that when this sh*t happens in the U.S., it’s game on.
I am sure some will shoot those fucks if they have to be a lone gunman. Nobody is taking me anywhere until there is a clear signal of a return of rule of law.
This come to mind…
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
Seriously– did I misread it or did he say that they have just TWENTY police who volunteered to perform these arrests and forcing people into the camps?
I had to read again. Yes, you are right. It said ’20 ADF’ personnel. Interesting
ADF? Sounds like a variation on IDF … which, of course, has trained many Aussie LEOs … just like here in the US.
This doesn’t remind me of the movie Songbird at all. Nope. Not even close. Hollywood was just entertaining us.
Some might suggest that Australian leaders belong in these camps. Why waste the food and water?
Their bodies should be crocodile/shark food.
You’re not allowed to harm the crocs or the sharks …
Can’t happen here. We have guns and rights. Right?
Right. I’m relying on the Constitution.
Specifically the second Amendment.
Because the government certainly has been upholding it since 1789. LOL.
You better have your gun in hand when the knock comes on the door because that is where it has to be stopped.
I would tell them it is time to lock and load, but too many of them gave up that right and are now subjects of the Supreme Leader.
Knives are a wonderfully personal statement.
Just picked a new ESSE knife. Highly recommended, just not cheap.
Nice,unless a gift good knives never cheap!
I bought a Emerson Wave Karambit,will not admit the cost but love it!
I got a great dea/ on a Boker Plus folder,50 bucks and well worth it.
I will say over the years the herd keeps growing.
A nail hammer can do wonders to the skull, even when it is protected by a helmet. If people are determined enough, even goat herders with an AK-47 can defeat thugs with B-25s.
Yes, there are other means.
These are aboriginal camps. These folks are primitive, are generally in extremely I’ll health, and the virus will kill them at a high rate. They have the lowest IQs of any people ever tested. I do not countenance what is happening, but the reality is these people are not able to make the decisions that people make in the US. I have seen the most amazing things in these communities. When I say ancient, they are really ancient. They have evolved to live in the desert, and are incapable of anything else.
Oh, and do y’all remember the internment of Japanese Americans? Or how about the mass internment of the Indians? Often for their own good of course. The hypocrisy of many runs deep.
Llpoh- The crazed pol in Hardscrambles video even stated it was also about aboriginal people but I’m not sure I trust that is where it will end. They are indeed ancient people and have the oldest religion in the world. I find the aboriginal stories of the “dream time” fascinating.
Correct. He is drawing a line to see how far he can go. First, you try who you believe to be the complicit and then you try to raise the bar. To paraphrase that saying, they came for everyone and you did nothing. Then they came for you.
What’s the worst that would happen if all the aborigines got Covid? 4/10 of 1% would die? Christ Almighty, we all die. People need to stop being such pussies.
Iska – they would die in high numbers. They are very, very unhealthy. And there is almost no medical care in their communities. People should write about stuff they know nothing about.
Vaccinate the elderly (who want it) and then let it rip. Nobody dies in big percentages from Covid. 200 mil Americans have probably already had Covid and only 1/2 mil have legitimately died with it as a meaningful contributing factor. Of those, probably half would have died of old age within 24 months anyway. 8,000 people die every day in the US without Covid. This disease isn’t a big enough deal to justify shutting down society the way they have, especially because their vaccine-only solution can’t stop the endemicity and could, through suppression of other aspects of immunity, bring about higher rates of other diseases.
Generally I agree. But in aged care facilities the elderly and I’ll die at 15 a 20%. These aboriginal communities are of very poor health. And are not capable of making decisions such as vax or not, owing to being very stupid, drug and alcohol addled, etc. If you haven’t been to such a place, it is impossible to understand.
I was at a community where a politician was giving a speech to the community. One of the aboriginals decided he needed to take a shit, and did so right behind the politician. It was not a political statement. He was just oblivious, just like a dog. He had to shit, so he did.
That is what the reality of those places are. They will die in high numbers if there is a large outbreak, with no med care, people in extremely poor health, etc. I would have made a different decision but the world wide outrage when whole communities are decimated drove the decision
If only the shitter had had more affordable access to higher education.
Why do you care if aborigines die at a higher rate?
The aboriginal tribes have been handling their healthcare as we have also but ALL people will find it difficult to deal with manufactured bio-weapons. I find rounding them up and putting them in camps insane Llpoh, that will give them disease not prevent it. Choctaws (your tribe) was healthy till the white man herded them into captivity.
They are not “rounding them up”. That is untrue.
What is the other word for collecting a bunch of people and putting them in a small area?
The are not collecting a “bunch” of people. They are moving the sick and vulnerable to isolation and medical facilities. That is not happening. Entire communities are not being rounded up.
They are not transferring residents as the article claims, except to the extent that people reside somewhere. They are transporting a relative few who are sick and that have been exposed. That is a specific set of circumstances and hardly is rounding up, which implies indiscriminate incarceration.
What will you do when they come for your kind? They have a current kind which is not yours, now. I’m buzzing like a fly because I’m curious.
You forgot to mention that people, but especially low intelligence people, have no right to decide to make foolish decisions that might kill them.
Instead the Do-Gooders should make those decisions for them; by force if needed.
They are not even the same species by any measure in biology, even with the definition of species being as fluid as it is.
Seriously? You do not know the meaning of species. Here it is for your edification: “ a group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding”.
So by every definition of species, they are the same species as us. They are simply evolved very, very differently. And without a gene infusion, they will remain so.
What if I said they aren’t the same breed instead of species?
Bingo
There are many cases of fertile breeding between species and even genuses. If you look into the word species beyond the definition shitted out by google, you would see it is not that simple at all. If this was about anything other than ‘mankind’ and religious arguments (christian souls, or leftist equality and humanism, whatever), no one but cranks would classify aborigines and us as the same species.
