Well, it happened. I just received a Facebook message of a screen recording of an Instagram Reel that's a Tweet sharing a TikTok video.

The Auslan interpreter's take on the naked deer-startled sun-bakers is worth all the replays.
🦌🍆🍑 TFW you and your mate sunbake naked on a beach, get startled by a deer, run into a national park and get lost, require SES and police assistance, and then get fined $1000 each because you breached Sydney's COVID public health orders

So just to be clear, in a post-midnight press release, the government is threatening to send Australian citizens to jail for five years if they try to get home from India - to protect Australian citizens. What an utter statement of failure of our quarantine arrangements.

We all agree that March was six years long and April has lasted six minutes, right? Can we get some sort of explanation on that. Genuinely baffled by how elastic time is right now, but more by how we seem to be experiencing it in similar ways.

Since when did more than 600 homes destroyed by fire in a couple of weeks not become a national emergency? Not even mentioned on the front page of the Weekend @australian ? This some epic level of blasé.

Update: the AFP and the ABC have agreed that there will be a two week hiatus during which time any documents which are handed over under the warrant can be challenged (for legal privilege, for example) or indeed that the entire warrant can be challenged.

AFP: I’m still staggered by the power of this warrant. It allows the AFP to “add, copy, delete or alter” material in the ABC’s computers. All Australians, please think about that: as of this moment, the AFP has the power to delete material in the ABC’s computers. Australia 2019.

This is not ok. My ABC colleague Osman Faruqi @oz_f has been forced off twitter & has received countless threats in the past few days, some which apparently remain on @facebook. Meanwhile, newscorp journos continue to attack him in the papers today. It’s shameful. We need change
