Sir,
If I was not joking,
I'd use the guest function to insult others and slag them off.

I agree that it's positively Soviet. Additionally, there's no guarantee that those living outside, who come for a visit, will be able to return to their respective countries.

Ok. But have they enacted special emergency laws or something?Starving Pelican wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 11:10 amI agree that it's positively Soviet. Additionally, there's no guarantee that those living outside, who come for a visit, will be able to return to their respective countries.
As for your question, well, one thing to remember about Australia is what its primary purpose was during its formative years. The flag was placed on the soil so the Frogs couldn't get there first, then the question came as to what to do with it. I think you're familiar with the subsequent few decades. That legacy is still with us, in the form of a nanny state.
Compare that birth of a nation to that of the US, which was always a placed based on individual rights - right to be a religious whacko, the right to throw a tantrum about paying taxes, etc.

Technically speaking, it's an "emergency requirement" under the Commonwealth Biosecurity Act. The reason why it's enforceable is because there's nothing to disallow it; Australia's constitution is silent on the matter.RobW wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 11:18 amOk.

I don't see how it's legally enforceable.

I didn't know what gnocchi was when RobW talked about and I am none the wiser after looking at Mig's photos. Some kinda ravioli I guess!
