Legislation in Australia allowing animals, buildings to be destroyed and people detained incase of a, page 1

Destroy Order for Serious Pandemic

STATE Parliament has passed laws allowing buildings and animals to be destroyed in the event of a serious pandemic as the Federal Government prepares to increase the national swine flu alert level...... The legislation passed yesterday gives the state increased powers in the case of "a more dangerous flu pandemic".

They include the power to forcibly quarantine people – including those with no symptoms – and to "remove or destroy . . . any building, structure, vehicle, vegetation, animal or other thing".
"The legislation includes new powers for senior health officials including directing a person to remain in isolation . . . or obliging them to undergo medical observation, examination or treatment," Mr Hill said.

"These powers would be used only in the event of a serious health emergency.

"We do not expect to invoke those powers for swine flu."

Bold added in.

Please note the last sentence though - saying they don't expect these powers to be enforsed for 'swine flu' (A)H1N1 but for "a more dangerous flu pandemic". Will (A)H1NI suddenly become more dangerous as it mutates? Are they expecting a more dangerous pandemic? Why have they drawn up and actually passed this legislation, just in case something happens?

Although

The Federal Government could increase its pandemic alert level as early as today. The nation is in the "contain" phase. The next is the "sustain" phase, where attention turns to protecting the vulnerable until a vaccine is developed.

So, according to the news reports, in South Australia, legislation has been passed which relates to a "dangerous flu pandemic" and allows the SA Health Chief to declare a "health emergency" (after consultation with the Health Minister and chief medical officer) and the forcible detention of people even if they are showing no symptoms of being sick. It also allows for the detruction of property vegetation, vehicles, animals etc.

It is still early days so will have to do more research and try and track down the actual legislation when I have more time but so far I do not like what I see - at all.

WTF ??? !!!!
I livein Adelaide, SA and have heard NOTHING regarding this incredible piece of legislation on the local news which I listened to just 30 mins ago. How did this manage to get snuck in ?

Here's the entire news article:

"STATE Parliament has passed laws allowing buildings and animals to be destroyed in the event of a serious pandemic as the Federal Government prepares to increase the national swine flu alert level.

The state's swine flu tally has soared and the Government has announced it will shift its focus to protecting the vulnerable, preparing to postpone elective surgery and planning more flu clinics.

Doctors now only will test high-risk cases to reduce pressure on facilities.

Last night, a male student, 17, from Pasadena High School, was diagnosed with swine flu. There are 89 confirmed cases of the illness compared with 65 on Monday. Most victims are under 30.

Another recent case is a third Westminster School student, a Year 11 girl.

Health Minister John Hill said it was time to shift the focus from tracing the contacts of confirmed cases to protecting the old, the young and the sick.

He said it was "only a matter of time" before SA was in the same situation as Victoria, with more than 1200 cases.

The legislation passed yesterday gives the state increased powers in the case of "a more dangerous flu pandemic".

They include the power to forcibly quarantine people – including those with no symptoms – and to "remove or destroy . . . any building, structure, vehicle, vegetation, animal or other thing".

"The legislation includes new powers for senior health officials including directing a person to remain in isolation . . . or obliging them to undergo medical observation, examination or treatment," Mr Hill said.

"These powers would be used only in the event of a serious health emergency.

"We do not expect to invoke those powers for swine flu."

The Federal Government could increase its pandemic alert level as early as today.

The nation is in the "contain" phase. The next is the "sustain" phase, where attention turns to protecting the vulnerable until a vaccine is developed.

Being a resident here, you would assume that if the following section of the report was accurate, that I'd be aware of such a serious increase in the swine flu tally or that medical facilities were being stretched to the limit

"The state's swine flu tally has soared and the Government has announced it will shift its focus to protecting the vulnerable, preparing to postpone elective surgery and planning more flu clinics.

Doctors now only will test high-risk cases to reduce pressure on facilities."

And yet strangely enough, the swine flu reporting by our local media appears to have dropped off significantly and we only occasionaly get updates ... in fact, can't even recall the last update on swine flu cases here in SA. It's almost as if it's become a non-event.
But if you simply go by the above report alone, you wouldn't be blamed for thinking every 2nd person here had contracted swine flu and the medical system was struggling. In point of fact, I have yet to personally come across anyone with swine flu nor do I know anyone with swine flu and not one of my friends or relatives personally know of a single case of swine flu.

So again, I reiterate .... WTF ??????

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I haven't heard a peep in the media regarding this new legislation ... it will be interesting to see if any mention is made on the main 6pm news tonight.

That point about forcibly quarantining people even if they have no symptoms is truly frightening. Why would you quarantine someone with no swine flu symptoms ... and under what pretext would it be done ? SCARY !

I was just considering the same thing regarding who it was that originally introduced this bill and their motivation.
But with it's obvious potential infringement of civil liberties (detention with NO symptoms), how the hell did it even get approved and so quickly ?

What was the rush or the urgency ?

That's how they got rid of smallpox.
They swooped in on every report of smallpox and quarantined not only the victims, but everyone who had been in contact with the victims.

It took years, and a lot of hard work, but eventually they quarantined the last case and banished the disease.

Of course the smallpox virus in currently held in labs all over the world, is easy to disperse, and mankind by now has probably lost all immunity to it, making it more deadly than ever.


By the way, despite having a possible explanation, I'm not trusting the government in this case. There have been too many influential people calling for population reduction.

I understand your reference to smallpox which in any case was extremely virulent but the article states VERY clearly

"Health Minister John Hill said it was time to shift the focus from tracing the contacts of confirmed cases to protecting the old, the young and the sick."

which essentially says that quarantine is now not a major policy if they're NOT as focused on tracking contacts of confirmed cases.
But if that's so, then how on earth do they expect to PROTECT the old, the young and the sick if they have no idea who may be a carrier or already infected but not diagnosed ?

Am I missing something here ?

Maybe it didn't take that many yays to get it passed?
And those who did Yay it are probably part of the NWO Oz team.
Would love to know exactly the names of all the agents who got this legislation through.
Anyone know where I might find this info??

And also, we' ve spent so much time here on this board reading about how these kind of laws get passed in through the back door while attention is diverted elsewhere.
We would be very foolish if we didn't apply what we know from here, to our own country and remain vigilant.

We need to send off emails to the main news stations with this link with a please investigate.
If they get bombarded enough, they won't be able to ignore it.

Just another news snippet on our local Chanel 10 evening news confirming that medical authorities no longer consider Swine Flu as potentially serious as originally thought. Body heat sensing cameras will be removed from airports and quaranteening will be less of a priority.

So ... was Swine Flu all this time just an incredible load of hype ????
