Three people who escaped a Covid quarantine compound in northern Australia by climbing over the perimeter fence have been found and arrested after the Australian authorities launched a manhunt to capture those who broke out, which involved setting up police checkpoints and conducting vehicle searches. The trio had all tested negative for Covid the day before they snuck out of the facility. RT has the story.
Australian police have arrested three people who escaped a Covid quarantine compound near Darwin in the Northern Territory. They had all tested negative the day before they broke out.
On Wednesday, police alleged that three people had scaled the perimeter fence of the compound in order to break out of the facility situated near Darwin in the Northern Territory. Police say the trio escaped the Center for National Resilience just before 4:40am.
Officers had set up checkpoints and were inspecting cars in the area in an attempt to find the absconders. The three were swiftly caught and taken into custody.
“Police and staff at the Centre for National Resilience are currently confirming the absconder’s identities prior to releasing further information,” authorities stated.
Officials did not confirm whether the inmates were returning travellers or local citizens who had been put into quarantine. According to the BBC, the centre has been used in recent days to house people infected with Covid from an outbreak in Katherine, a town 185 miles away.
The Howard Springs site can hold up to 2,000 people; it is situated within an old mining camp which was turned into a quarantine centre by the Australian government in August.
The three individuals arrested had tested negative for Covid on Tuesday.

I wonder what all those brave Australians who fought against fascism would make of Nazi-type behaviour being enacted by the corrupt Morrison regime.
So the Australians now live in a state which is in all but name a communist totalitarian dictatorship. I expected better of the general stroppy, bolshie, independent minded Aussies. Where are the mass protests?If these people had already tested negative, why the hell were they being detained?
I couldn’t get a pint of Guinness at lunchtime today IN IRELAND (North) because I wouldn’t scan the Track and Trace QR code. Had to have a latte in a cafe down the street. Apparently the new variant (Omicron, until last week I thought that was a very small unit of measurement used in Ireland) can distinguish between potential hosts in cafes or pubs.
Where couldn’t you get a pint? Name that pub, if it was one.
Now will they give them the mandatory flogging (50 lashes) and put them on the treadmill for a week or so, following by solitary confinement with hoods over their heads?
Isn’t it interesting that the Police, so called public servants, change sides and become full on public enemies – turning against their own people, family, friends amongst them. History repeats itself because no one will listen
I posted this yesterday and I said further down I’d post it again today. Someone suggested simply stopping using Asda, which is a given. Trouble is I fear they believe they will get more business from the ‘moronic’ masses by overtly using their terror tactics than not. They might be right; looking around at the simpering scaredy-cats so many of our fellows appear to have become…
We have reached a whole new level of Sick malevolent Evil. So many can’t even see it. That’s what’s killing ME FFS!
My wife has just returned from a trip to Asda in Bridgwater, Somerset quite literally in floods of tears!
She could not believe what she had just experienced.
She went deliberately to find out what it is like since the latest omicron moronic Government Dictat re masks etc.
She has an exempt lanyard from earlier in this psychosis but took a mask ‘just in case’.
She was scared upon entry to the place by a very large security guard clearly dressed to terrify. He was strategically positioned holding up a box of masks near the entrance, approaching anyone not wearing one and clearly threatening that if they didn’t either put their… Read more »
I went to Lidl tonight. I was approached by an apologetic security man speaking pidgin English, indicating I should wear a mask. I politely informed him I’m exempt. He was obviously relieved.
It might help that I’m 6’2″ and on the ‘stout’ side however, if anyone feels intimidated by staff in any public place, I’m happy to represent them to security staff.
Truly, I could be reading news from Germany or England in the early 1940s – dangerous POWs escaped from their internment camp.
John O’Looney, the Milton Keynes funeral director, gave details of two concentration camps that he knew of being set up in, I understand, Leicestershire. I can well believe that the gang pretending to govern us will gladly incarcerate us for not believing in their extreme and radical religion of Branch Covidianism.
I believe there are too many “unvaxxed” in this tightly packed overpopulated urban country for it to be possible to go the Australian route.
Fines are more likely, but they would need to be legally enforced…which would take time.
One estimate suggested there were as many as 22 million unvaxxed in the UK, not counting the single vaxxed, and those who will not have a booster.
I also have a feeling that the army and police forces will not comply with concentration camps.
“I also have a feeling that the army and police forces will not comply with concentration camps.”
Plenty of other willing volunteers:
” UK police receive 194,000 calls from lockdown ‘snitches’ ”
“Snitches swamp police 101 line with calls about ‘rule of six’ flouters forcing senior officers to man the phones with more staff”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8758843/Snitches-swamp-police-101-line-calls-rule-six-flouters.html
ROUND UP THE UNVAXXED. That’s what I say.
Put us all in Butlin’s camps for a month to party amongst out ‘asymptomatic’ (bollox, no such thing) selves, then on day 31 let’s compare notes to see whether the vaxxed or unvaxxed fared better.
Settle it!
There was a TV series about this back in the 60s. Late night, psychological thriller, quite scary, but ultimately we knew it was only TV. It was called The Prisoner, with Patrick McGoohan as the protagonist and co-writer. Hard to believe it has become a reality. In Australia.
I was watching the movie The Stanford Prison Experiment, a few nights ago it was on TV. Hadn’t seen it before. The participants who were the prisoners began to realise that it wasn’t an experiment after all, but that they really were prisoners and could not get out, even though they wanted to.
It’s a bit like when you go in for a kinky sex game and your girlfriend chains you to the bed… and then pours petrol over you… and then it dawns on you.
~ahem~
Is there an outpouring of regret coming next? 🤣
What was their crime? disobedience to the Australian Government, I wonder what their punishment will be? they are already locked up, what is the next level of pure wickedness will this “democratic” member of the commonwealth next sink to I wonder? When do you suppose our Government will speak out, or Prince charles?
Yes the silence is deafening. If you ever thought these people were here to serve you, to look after your best interests to behave in a democratic way, well the curtain has trully been torn aside now
See above – the lash? Solitary confinement? Bread and water? The treadmill? The Hood?
And ‘Advance Australia Fair’ is the title of their national anthem. I’ve obviously got it wrong all these years. It obviously means the country has blonde hair?
Thanks for posting, but please don’t use that horrid word SNUCK! It isn’t English.
Welcome to Soviet Australia! Coming to a town near you REALLY soon! Unless we fight back now! Do not comply with any of this authoritarianism!
So, you banged up three innocent people who weren’t sick and when they dared to escape you arrested them. And they still weren’t sick. Australia you should be ashamed. Wtf is going h on in the world??
I’ve been given a permanent ban from the Australian Skeptics reddit forum for reporting this news of the three being re-captured. Seems like they don’t want this getting out.
Rabbit. Proof. Fence.
No good apologising for ancient wrongs against the aborigines decades back and then committing human rights abuses against them today.
Where’s Steve McQueen when you need him…
Some of the more inflammatory reports could be disinformation. Be careful. TPTB want to spread as much alarm and fear as they can. Not all these stories are what they seem.
When I read about the ‘facilities’ being built (as in Leicestershire) I think of the money that was spent on the so-called ‘Nightingale hospitals’. It seems they were just for show – perhaps these ‘facilities’ are too, and the money being spent is irrelevant, so long as the pantomime is convincing.

Analysis of FDA documents released on Pfizer trial. Pretty shocking and impossible to understand how they could authorise the use of this.
Looking at the amount of AE’s recorded for the 42,000+ is jaw dropping.
Whats worse, out of the recorded AE about 1:37 is death. That is insane.
The FDA admits these are only recorded AE that are considered above mild. There was so much more that wasn’t released.
I am currently reading “The real dr. fauci – I won’t dignify him by using capitals.
he has a lot of previous form in hiding and falsifying research.
I cannot understand why he holds so much power after 50 years.
Because he hid, and falsified research.
I recommend the Fauci Dossier by Dr David Martin.
Same as ferguson?
He knows where the bodies are buried, perhaps?
I’ve been wondering what Les Hiddins (The Bush Tucker Man) thinks about the state of his country, considering his close relationship with the Aboriginals and former role in the army. He was such a hero of mine growing up, I dread to think he’s condoning what’s going on.
They test for the flu since they’ve never isolated Covid-19. Which makes me wonder how they can tell there is a delta variant. They never isolated the virus but they use a test to show the damage of a solution does on monkey kidney cells then show the cellular debris as proof of the virus. So, they can use this method to claim an UNENDING! amount of variants. A lot of cancers and “viruses” are probably just different forms of parasites. Since the tests can’t differentiate between cold and flu and covid then doesn’t that mean ivermectin cures both the cold and the flu? Welcome to “they’ve been lying to us our entire lives about everything”. Get your Ivermectin while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
Three cheers to the escapers, but I would also point out the capacity of Howard Springs. Two thousand people/inmates/prisoners.
There are similar facilities being built, but if the governments think they can shove the all the unvaxxed into such camps they’ve done the maths wrong.
Then again, they haven’t done much right lately…
They are counting on the intimidation effect, and so far they have been very right about it working. Remember, these decisions are not made ad hoc, they are backed by behavioral science and statistics concerning people’s judgements.
I’m not so sure that people are willing to go along. Hundreds of thousands in the streets of Melbourne last weekend. Yesterday ex mine workers laid their uniforms outside Parliament House here in Perth.
It’s not going as smoothly as TPTB would like.

This is a perfect illustration of the (almost) end point of leftist government. The Northern Territory has a ‘woke’ Labor government which is hyper-concerned about “aboriginal welfare”. A lot of the draconian measures applied on everyone were justified by the idea that aboriginals were particularly vulnerable to Covid and “we must do all we can” to protect them. Now, “for their own good”, the aborigines are being herded into camps so they can be “treated and protected properly”.
Of course this ends up being the way everyone in such a system is treated – as wards of the state.
In the good old days, we would have dug a tunnel, therefore escaping all these modern-day CCTV systems.
I’m starting to believe that Australia really is the model or template for the future world. Surely someone in Australia KNOWS that tens of millions of world citizens are watching and reading about what’s happening in this country and making the same conclusion I have: I will never go to this country as long as I live … even if the world somehow returns to normal (which it probably won’t).
My conclusion is that they don’t give a crap if 40 percent of the world’s population perceives them as the poster for 1984. They’ve decided – maybe they know? – that this is the way the world is going to be. They are just getting a head start. Or maybe this island nation has been chosen as the “get-away” destination for all the billionaires who have already got their bunkers in their outback lands.
Regardless, the leaders of this country seem to be completely indifferent to how their draconian measures are selling in the rest of the world … which very well might be telling us something.
I think the criminals in charge of this are just pushing as hard as they can everywhere to see what they can get away with – and will keep pushing and pushing until they encounter some firm resistance.
In Australia and NZ they had a head start because the virus didn’t make it there straight away, so the populations were gagging to be locked down. They realised what was going on rather too late in the day.
It’s stunning to me how FAST this country has devolved into an authoritarian nightmare … and they are just getting started. I agree. I think other leaders are watching to see everything they can get away with. Which apparently is anything and everything.
Sadly I think you are spot on – Ferguson started it with his “..get away with it” admission, von Der Leyen is carrying it on with her comments about mandatory jabs must be discussed – and I cannot conceive that will end there, SAGE Gauleiters will be beside themselves with maniacal glee.
The counterpoint to that is Neville Hodgkinson’s piece in TCW this morning:
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/the-vaccine-gold-rush-and-the-damning-ivermectin-tape/
In any other situation, Hill would be severely and permanently sanctioned for selling his soul – humane and professional – to Gates & Co ( which includes the UK’s HMG ) and as for the Cardiologists allegedly corrupted by ICRF.
How on earth are these smoking howitzers – too big to be guns – kept out of the newspapers – what a world of shit we are in now.
I’m trying to picture an Australia even a couple of years from now …. best scenario. I see:
Tourism at half the rate it used to be (if this).
All the freedom-loving citizens and sharpest Australians doing everything they can to get the hell out of this country. That’s not good for the future of this or any other nation.
Nobody who cares about freedom, free markets, or civil liberties wanting to migrate to this nation. That’s not good for the future of any country when the people who could inject vibrancy into your nation only want to stay away.
The economy drying up even faster than in other nations as socialism and authoritarianism reigns. (I’m sure the big oligarch mega companies might like what’s going on, but not the Mom and Pop smaller businesses and start-ups.)
In short, Australia is going to reap what it sowed. It’s going to get what it deserves. There WILL be consequences. … But, again, ending where I started, the powers that be in Australia clearly don’t care about any of this.
The powers that be in Australia are already Chinese marionettes. The only thing they care about is their new Asian bosses.
My theory is that after they have crossed red lines, their only escape route is forward in the same direction. Anything else at this point means that the decision makers might have to face criminal trials themselves, so it’s personal for them. This is essentially the model for every dictatorship – it’s not only the people who fear the dictator’s thugs, it’s also the dictator and his thugs who fear the people. This feedback loop is enough to perpetuate dictatorship for a very long time.
Great points. I’ve tried to make a similar point in other posts. There is no “authoritarian Lite.” There’s not a point when these people say, “Okay. We rescind all of this. Power to the people …”
how many of these camps do they
have
I don’t know. A couple? But think of the planning and man hours that went into conceiving and then building these places. And now staffing them and filling them up with prisoners … and tracking down the escapees.
In the Netherlands they just let the two escapees go after being arrested. No further action. The couple are back home in the peninsular.
Where’s the Black Lives Matter gang? Aren’t Aborigines black enough?
It’s in the fine print, under ‘Terms & Conditions Apply’. If you’re black, you are a victim of institutional racism and thus worthy of BLM sympathy and advocacy/riots but if you’re black and you challenge the Covid narrative in any way (like escaping from an internment camp) then you are Covid-denying, anti-vaxxng scum that is not helpful to the Covid Narrative at all. Woke hysteria has found its kryptonite and it’s called Covid Hysteria.
I’m sure the question on everyone’s minds is were they aboriginals who escaped the concentration camp?
I’m getting a ‘Great Escape’ vibe here…which one was James Coburn?
We’ve all had that one today, Lister… 🙂
The one that nicked the pushbike.
You thought today’s news was depressing, it’s just got worse!
BASTARD JAVID – Boosters every 3 months for the rest of your natural life
Need a laugh, London Council Spends 10k on “Dangerous” Trans Crossing you gotta laugh, or you’ll cry, will they mandate vaccines on transpeople?
Bloody hell! When are people going to wake up?
Well, Javid has certainly woken up to the smell of money.
Un fuckin believable.
Call them what they are: Concentration Camps.
