Queensland Residents in Home Quarantine Will Be Visited by the Cops if they Fail to Respond to Random Text Messages Within 10 Minutes
Queenslanders in home quarantine will need to answer to randomly-timed text messages (up to 3 per day) within 10 minutes or risk a visit by the cops, as part of strict new Covid compliance laws announced this morning.

The new rules - enacted with immediate effect - are part of a real-time compliance push by the state government ahead of the school holidays that start next week.

The messages will have a hyperlink that requires individuals to open and respond within 10 minutes.

Potential breaches will be assessed by police to identify whether further action is required, including fines and a direction to go into hotel quarantine at their own cost.

Ideally yes, but i am sure that everyone will because they don't want the Cops to come knocking.

The random text messages will occur at least once a day.

Talk about paranoia.

So what if you are having a nice long shower or getting lost in a movie through your headphones on another device?

What a joke.

 Quoting: Teddy!



I am in lockdown Central (NSW) on The Central Coast.

I have been laying low, only going out when it is essential, and playing by the rules.

My main focus is avoiding the law, staying healthy and uninjured and never getting the Covid Test or Vaccine.

I have only been going out in public 2 times per week on average since this lockdown began a few months back.

The general vibe out there is weird and creepy. Everyone seems paranoid and out of sorts.

Thanks. hf

Yeah it is a terrible situation for us all.

There is so much uncertainty hanging over all of us.


My family lives too many km's away and it is impossible to travel that far under the current restrictions.

Even getting from here to Sydney on the train is forbidden unless you are an essential health worker etc.

Yeah, I imagine the cops would be really disappointed they weren't able to apprehend a dangerous criminal avoiding a quarantine.

Must make sure when they come over I can give them a crime to solve, or a jigsaw puzzle that illustrates a crime in progress. Maybe that will keep them calm and stop them from breaking stuff.

Is it mandatory to be in possession of such a device that now can even simulate lattice bars.

Hard to believe.

The sumptuary to manage that law(?) breakes brain matter.

Liked to know how this plays out.

Lol they are having like 3 covid cases a day across the entire state. Would make far more sense to run this in NSW or VIC. nevertheless its fuckikg rediculous.

This is a good reason as to why I'd never get a damn test in the first place!

Life in Melbourne is alright, despite the current lockdown I'm constantly traveling outside my 5K zone, visiting friends etc. There are fuck all police on the roads enforcing their stupid ass rules, nobody bothers me not wearing a mask in public or walking around drinking booze.... The only thing giving me the shits is the curfew and the fact pubs are shut!

I sure as fuck wont be getting a vax nor getting a test even if I am sick!

Fuck these clowns!!

home quarantine wont work if they don't check at all will it. even hotel quarantine repeatedly failed. and one text message per day is hardly going to make the system work. home quarantine is gonna fail worse than hotel quarantine

Honestly the whole covid thing is a joke and needs to be treated like the flu not the current alarmist bullshit happening.
