It would be nice if they ruled border controls illegal here in Australia. I was detained against my will for 15 days and had to pay for the damn unjust detention. $3000. I for one, will never forget what this country did to me.

You had to pay $3000 to be put in a quarantine against your will?

Yes, $3000 was the set fee for 2 weeks quarantine. The room had no facility for washing clothes over that period. No cooking facility either. I had to eat whatever rubbish they dished up and believe me, it was shite at times. One person went crazy on the 14 th day because they had not released him and he smashed the room up. He was in the opposite wing to me and I could see into his room. It was a real mess. They arrested him and jailed him for 3 months I believe.

That's insane. This should have been all over the news.

The UK was doing similar things if you wanted to travel from different countries.
