Australia's Northern Territory Imposes One of the Strictest Vaccine Mandates in the World

As some Americans still fantasize about  Australia, the country continues to prove that while our leaders are fundamentally destroying the U.S, Australia is worse.

Australia's Northern Territory has set November 12 as the deadline for all public-facing and frontline workers to get at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. The government says it will fine those who don't comply $5,000. Those fined workers won't be able to attend their workplace, either. So they better listen up.

"You must receive the vaccine if in the course of your work you come into contact with vulnerable people, your workplace has a high risk of infection, or you perform maintenance of essential infrastructure or logistics in the territory," Northern Territory Chief Minister Michael Gunner said in his draconian tone.

"If you are not sure if it applies to you, ask yourself these three questions," Gunner then said with authority:

What if you don't know the answers? Don't worry -- Gunner is here for you, saying, "If your answer is maybe or I don't know then you need to get the jab."

There you have it.

In other Australian COVID news, the government launched a national manhunt earlier this month for a man who sneezed in an elevator. The man was COVID positive, so sneezing isn't allowed. We are not joking. I wish we were.

Tucker Carlson recently likened the current state of Australia to China at the beginning of the pandemic.

"We showed you those images from China at the time -- the people being welded inside their apartments to starve, the guys in hazmat suits forcing people in quarantine boxes and driving away to some unknown destination. At the time, our public health officials, including Tony Fauci, told us nothing like that could ever happen in our country or in the west," Carlson said.

"But that was wrong because those things are now happening in Australia."

They are. And that's terrifying for Australia and those dreaming about the country.
