Now, I wonder what the heck is going on "down under." Recently, there was something in the news about how the gov is regulating the citizen's alcohol consumption. I thought that a bit weird but shrugged it off as being a bit heavy handed. Now, I read that Australia is moving Covid infected citizens to CAMPS. Some are equating it to concentration camps. Speculation about what is to become of their animals care and who might watch their vacant homes while they are gone. Would their gov be liable for any damage or squatters in their empty homes? I understand that they are calling them "quarantine camps."

Does this strike anyone else as a bit weird?
I would love to know where this information is coming from. Links, please. It sounds to me like someone has taken one or two bits of information and blown them up with supposition and rumor. Our kids have lived there for 15 years and have dual citizenship. We talk to them every week but have heard nothing about this.
