Police in the hermit kingdom of West Australia have been slammed after a photo emerged appearing to show officers conducting COVID-19 compliance checks in the middle of Catholic mass at a Perth church. The Australian has the story.
West Australian police have been criticised after a photo emerged appearing to show officers conducting COVID-19 compliance checks in the middle of mass at a Perth church.
The image, posted to Instagram, was purportedly taken on Thursday night during a service at St Bernadette’s Catholic Church in the northern suburb of Glendalough.
The officers carried out checks to ensure that worshippers had complied with mask-wearing rules and had proof-of-vaccination certificates, despite such proof not being required for places of worship.
The WA Catholic Archdiocese condemned the actions.
“The Catholic Archdiocese of Perth does not support or condone the disruption of the celebration of the Eucharist for any reason, and condemns in the strongest possible terms this impingement upon the free practice of the Catholic faith,” the Church said. “With respect to this incident, it is unfortunate these checks were not undertaken prior to the mass or at its conclusion.”
Opposition Health Spokeswoman Libby Mettam said the state could do “a lot better”.
“The McGowan Government needs to explain how this type of state action is at all proportionate or necessary,” she said.
Proof-of-vaccination requirements came into force in Perth on Monday, except for places of worship with fewer than 500 people.

Whilst police can enter churches in pursuit of criminals, only a few decades ago they would have been very circumspect about imposing themselves uninvited. To see police checking papers in the middle of a service worshipping Almighty God is something more extreme than even the Soviet Union; there they would have checked papers before or after the service! I cannot help but feel that our governments, in giving themselves over to this sort of act, have abandoned any notion that our roots are Judeo-Christian but instead are embracing satanic beliefs. It will not end well.
Proves that all over the world, even in so called “liberal democracies” both governments, civil servants, bureaucrats and particularly the police are enjoying their tyranny of the proles
They will either ignore it, talk it out or rubbish the figures. But they are guilty of all the mental illness of both students and school pupils. And no one will be sacked or censored or oenslisedwhilst our children suffer.
I wondered if there were any officers who declined this ”duty”, Catholics themselves perhaps. And it could be that this one just didn’t give a stuff, and was one of the local bully boys.
I also wondered at the video of a (large) senior police officer in Canberra shoving a woman from behind, very brutally (seen yesterday on Rebel News). His colleagues just let him carry on strutting around – he’d probably volunteered his ”strength” for such a duty.
HE reminded me of the Cave Troll in LOTR. How are these people tolerated in what should be a cohesive police force? Useful idiots?
Reading the mealy-mouthed and cringing response by the Church to the incident (the word ”unfortunate” rather than ”outrageous”) it’s no wonder things there are in a parlous state. As for the silly, shallow words ”could do a lot better” – it’s obvious the Opposition isn’t going to be much help.
I’m an atheist but even I find this appalling

And not a word from our pope. People are leaving the Catholic Church in droves when it allowed the state to shutter churches and our pope said NOTHING?
Except, be a good Catholic and getcherjab.
Hello! I want to know, is there anyone else out there feeling like me? Is there anyone else in a similar situation?
I live abroad, away from the country where I have citizenship and spent most of my life. I haven’t seen parents or sisters for over three years.
At the same time, I’ve been becoming increasingly alienated from them.
They’re all onboard with the covid hysteria, whereas I committed to looking into what was going on from the get go. And we are now continents apart both literally and figuratively.
A few days ago, I had a right proper dust up with my moth, one which I don’t feel proud of. In fact, I feel ashamed. But I’m also feeling at the end of my rope.
Today, I made the mistake of going onto Facebook, to see this shocking and disgusting picture that my sister had posted about my beloved niece.
I’m feeling at my wits end with all this and realize my family basically isn’t my family anymore.
Sorry to hear that
I doubt there are many sceptics who have not experienced some degree of alienation from family,
friends, work colleagues and the world in general
Working out how to deal with that will be a long term challenge for many
Not a sister I would want.
I feel for you.
You’re right. Those of us who began our thinking and researching and questioning from the very beginning, watching the nonsense evolving, have reached the point where we are today. Those who didn’t question, but just accepted the narrative, sank under the weight of propaganda and now can never crawl out. All those I know who are thralls (some terrified) will never change their minds – they can’t. Their minds seem to have been slowly and irrevocably changed for them through the spring and summer of 2020.
They’ve quite literally and most shockingly successfully established a global cult. And being one who isn’t brainwashed is utterly heartbreaking.
Disgusting and shameful Fascism!
I am so sick of this covid aka great reset nonsense. But I undertake as a duty to inform people about facts about cheaply, effectively and qucikly curing this so called virus symptoms. Search for c19ivermectin on your search engine. On that website you will find as of right now there are 142 studies. 93 of them are peer reviewed about curing covid19 with ivermectin. These are undeniable evidences. Get your ivermectin before it is too late https://ivmpharmacy.com
Has anyone else noticed that people who have had three of these jabs seem to have become very angry? Either there is something in the ‘vaccines’ or people are becoming bitter now that they have the feeling they’ve been had.
A friend who was proud to be ahead of the curve at jab one was not quite so happy when he got jab two. I asked if he’d be going on to jab three and he was suddenly defensive. ‘Well, I have to, don’t I?’
I have noticed. Less of the smug sense of superiority; more a sense of dis-ease?
The Aus article is paywalled, but a report from a different source suggested that the cops had been tipped off by a member of the congregation.
The Aussie Police have seriously gone down in my estimation since these sort of incidents have been brought to light. That and the stories of corruption and woke/heavy handed authoritarian methods as told by Aussie commentator Helen Dale.
This sort of thing is starting to feel like 1930s-40s Germany or the USSR afterwards.
Papuz pliz!
My partner’s son and wife have arrived here, staying the weekend. They haven’t been jabbed and don’t want to be either, fully aware the ‘Covid’ is a scam/sham/con.
His wife is worried as ‘vaccines’ are being made ‘compulsory’ in Finland – she’s a school teacher and that will fall under this. Those who refuse the jabs will be suspended from their jobs without pay – they will not be fired, because then they could claim unemployment benefit or social security. Being ‘suspended without pay’ is the means of starving them into submission.
Make no mistake – Finland’s government are well in on the scam.
So they are definitely not rolling back the Covid restrictions then?!
Not here in Finland – I haven’t followed it, but I understand all ‘health workers’ are already ‘mandated’ to take the ‘vaccines’.
They started injecting school kids (over 12 years of age) last August here.
The ‘Vaxx Pass’ will stay in use for international travel – it has been ‘lifted’ a bit for domestic use, but the Government has decided they will not scrap it but keep it to one side in case it’s ‘needed’ again.
There is resistance in Finland, not everyone has been fooled. There was supposed to have been a truck convoy today – I don’t know what happened about that – I heard 15 trucks set off from Oulu… which really isn’t a lot! Oulu is about 12 hours drive for a truck to Helsinki.
It looks quite active to me. Eighteen hours or so ago:

and

Why didn’t the congregation tell those pigs to GTFO? One of the things that has annoyed me the most throughout all of this is the supine acceptance of outrageous abuses of power. Nobody seems to have the courage to stand up to it. It’s pathetic.
Either way, Australia is a place I have no intention of ever visiting. It seems to be inhabited entirely by cowards, retards and tyrants.
Watch the footage of the protests.
Everyone on the protests say they want to have peaceful protests – you’d think that when all the trucks arrived in Ottawa they’d have gone after the politicians who have made the ‘rules’ and ‘mandates’. Just grab them and lock them up somewhere – peacefully, of course!
I guess the World Economic Forum might just throw Trudeau ‘under the truck’ to appease the protesters.
but why would I give a fuck about nonsense that happens in the antipodies , They are merely securing their position at the arse end of nowhere.
“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
Sadly this is not in any way surprising. What is staggering though is that there is a WHITE newsreader on Sky right now. I cannot believe my eyes.
Not a man obviously, that would be utterly absurd, but a white newsreader nevertheless.
Maybe things are starting to get back to normal?
I wonder whatever next in WA? My bet is on ‘compliance checks’ during birth. I mean of course it sounds nuts, but this in this context quite a possibility….
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if newborns in Britain don’t get their DNA put on file as soon as they’re born. Their actual birth gets recorded on a state computer before they’re handed to their mum or dad.
(This is even if “mother” is now considered a bad word in NHS-land, with “birth parent” being preferred.)
There are instances of babies being kept isolated from everyone (except mother, unless she’s got the plague in which case they’re confiscated) for weeks.
It’s happened here. South Wales police raided a Christian service in Cardiff at the start of the so-called firebreak lockdown in October 2020. Police officers were supposedly banging on the windows during the service, frightening the pensioners attending. When asked about it South Wales police said it was ‘protecting the NHS’
Was there an official response from the church?
calling them stasi is too generous!
Name those officers, then. Let everyone know who they are and what they did, and where they live.

Are pigs welcome?
Nazi scum. My (ex) country is well and truly dead.
Catholic church complit in all this.
Why is the policeman wearing a high-visibility jacket? Did he think the priest would turn the lights down?
Give ’em a uniform, they think they’re Hitler.
For full dramatic effect he should have entered wearing all-body CBW protection, à la Salisbury, or shot the lights out first and stormed in yelling “Police! Stay calm!”
It’s staggering to think that a large proportion of the population probably think the kind of behaviour actually exhibited is not only sane, not only justifiable, but actually reasonable. It’s not their lot to criticise what their “betters” tell them. They’d be scared their heads would drop off or they’d get big black Covid boils under their armpits and then drop down dead from the lergy.
Still, expert graphs will show the administrators the facts, right? “If only they knew.”
It seems that Satan is at large in WA, and unchallenged by those who should banish him.
It’s “Lord of the Flies”, now set on Devil’s Island.
One sect vs. another sect, wonder who’s gonna win?
Any church that complies with or enforces these evil mandates has sold itself to Satan. Come on church, if we can’t stand for right who will? Time to be prepared to face the persecution Jesus promised us if we follow him.
The Church of England has accepted the ‘Covid rules’.
He used to be a banker
But then he found The Devil!
How do you spell ‘banker’ again?
Seems to fit in here:
Without human rights, democracy is just the tyranny of the demagogues.
My (English) friend who lives in a suburb of Perth is fine with everything. Says most people are happy with the way it’s all being handled.
I don’t know what to say to her.
I think special places should be arranged for such people and West Australia might be one such special place.
As far as masks are concerned, now primarily a matter of personal preference in England, it’s quite chilling to note that certain supermarkets are still insisting on masks being worn. For example, Aldi requires (yes requires) shoppers to wear them and Lidl still have posters up saying that it is a mandatory government requirement. This just perpetuates the Covid theatre. Thankfully more and more people are ignoring this but many seem happy with their, in many instances, seemingly designer, face nappies. Just sad!
The new notice at Lidl says that the government expects and recommends them, but doesn’t actually state that Lidl does.
I assumed it was government pressure on Lidl that caused this. I don’t know.
Anyway, Lidl has never hassled me not for wearing a mask since mid-2020.
I haven’t been near Aldi since they refused me service 10 months ago.
If a shop refuses you service stay away, until it is crystal clear that they have seen the error of their ways. Signs like the one in Lidl are just a bit of misguided PC nonsense and are meant to be ignored. Only fools would take any notice, though of course there are still plenty of fools around.
Ours have both taken all the posters/stickers down – it must depend on the area/manager?
Thanks for this info. If I see the Lidl manager next Monday, I’ll mention it.
He wasn’t wearing a face covering last time I saw him in the store.
Tell him he may be scaring off customers to more mask free stores
He wasn’t wearing a face covering last time I saw him in the store.
That should tell you all you need to know.
Clearly some managers are more stupid than others.
Seen in the local NatWest branch today: A photo of someone wearing a cloth mask with the text Unless you’re exempt for a medical reason below it. They didn’t put this up the first time the mandate was lifted (at least, I didn’t notice it back then).
The psy-ops. organisers probably knew that via a brainwashing programme they could eventually get others to carry on their dirty work.
It’ll soon be time for Laura Dodsworth to write ‘State of Fear: Volume 2’.
Must be your Aldi manager. I have never worn a mask in Aldi. There may be a mask sign, but I haven’t seen it. Most of the staff are unmasked.
I think there is a lot of local variation.
all the lidl staff at the shop i just had a nose into had faces clear of cheap chinese cloth products
My wife was in Aldi today. She doesn’t do masks and she tells me that she was far from being the only bare faced shopper. If masks had been obligatory she would have gone elsewhere.
I still see signs up in places, but I simply ignore them, just as I always have.
