As Australia continues to keep the pressure ratcheted on its people, another layer of problems are coming to pass.
Now the Australian governments are going after millions of dollars of fines and infractions that were issued for reportedly not obeying Covid-related edicts.
Published on October 27th, the Brisbane Times begins their report with, ‘Queensland’s public health response has continued to reap dividends, as staff at the State Penalties Enforcement Register deal with 3046 unpaid fines worth a total of $5.2 million.’
More specifically, 2,755 businesses and individuals are accused of breaking the rules during the Covid edicts; with a little over 56% of the fines have been paid in full, or with interest.
The State’s Penalties Enforcement Register (SPER) has been initiating “active enforcement,” on roughly 18% of fines that are worth over a $1 million Australian dollars. In order to collect on these funds, a spokesperson for the government organization said, “[this] may include garnishing bank accounts or wages, registering charges over property, or suspending driver licences”.
The other roughly 25% are still under investigation.
The Brisbane Times says SPER was $1.29 billion in the hole since begging over two decades ago, and has been recovering roughly $50 million each month.
‘Outside SPER’s work, Queensland Health took the unusual step of calling in private debt collectors to chase up $5.7 million amounting from 2045 significantly overdue invoices for hotel quarantine,’ said the report.
Queenslanders rightly expect travellers will pay for their hotel quarantine stays and not leave taxpayers to foot the bill.
A Queensland Health spokeswoman explained
But the woman would not disclose the amount the private contractors would be making, explaining that it was confidential data.
Exactly one month ago, the Brisbane Times reports 44,350 infractions had been issued for mandatory quarantines – with just shy of 11% being ‘significantly overdue.’ In other words, those forced into mandatory quarantine – regardless if they were sick or tested negative – would be forced into isolation, and had to flip the bill for it. If the fines are not paid back, these people will also be referred to these debt collectors.
But those are not the only fines. 9 News based in New South Wales (NSW) listed tens of millions of fines that are unpaid and due – where they report over $50 million dollars worth of infractions have been issued since the pandemonium broke out in 2020.

Mostly Vaccinated
As pressures mount to get vaccinated, the strong majority Australians have decided to get vaccinated.
Announced today, November 8th, 89.4% of the entire nation have gotten at least one dose of a Covid vaccine. Those aged 16 and older are currently eligible to be vaccinated. This obviously leaves only a slim amount of unvaccinated people remaining.
9 News provides a provincial breakdown of this over 90%:
- New South Wales: 93.9% one dose; 89.9% fully vaccinated
- Victoria: 92.3%; 84.6%
- Queensland: 79.6%; 67.4%
- South Australia: 83.8%; 70.6%
- Western Australia: 80.7%; 66.8%
- Northern Territory: 80.2%; 66.9%
- Tasmania: 90.5%; 78.7%
- Australian Capital Territory: Over 95% for both categories
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[2] For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged. [3] A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. [8] He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. Proverbs 28:2-3, 8
I had not been keeping tabs on the vaccination rates in Australia, and I had honestly thought that more Aussies were resisting the tyranny. I was completely wrong. It seems most of the Aussies have cracked under the pressure.
To the saved Australians (and for the brethren all over the world), here is my advice:
[1] And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. [2] Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. [3] Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. [4] Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.Revelation 3:1-4
I’ll say it for what it is: the church is DEAD. Some might say, ‘How dare you say that?!’ -Jesus did. You can be saved and be completely useless, shipwrecked, a castaway, the Bible talks about (1 Timothy 1:19-20; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27). The church is dead, and there are only a few that are still walking righteously and fighting against wickedness. But Jesus states, you need to strengthen the things which remain. Will it get tougher? Yes, but don’t just take my word on it: listen to what Jesus is commanding.
But, to the Aussie brethren, I’ll think some you’ll be having some “elbow room” coming your way in the years to come.
When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
Proverbs 28:28
Furthermore, someone had sent me this documentary of this cult in Australia, where these totally devil-possessed loons believe that some Aussie is Jesus, the virgin Mary is another Aussie harlot, and the congregation believes they were all there at the time of when Jesus walked the earth as a man the first time. And the cult sobs over this man!
And this is the type of stuff as to why the Lord is judging Australia, and the rest of the world.
[4] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. [5] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. [6] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. [7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. [8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.Matthew 24:4-8
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Australia is one wicked nation, I’ve been there. They call themselves “British Texans,” but it felt more like San Francisco in some places. So much for being progressive I guess.
Hillsong that rock music anything goes satan house falsely masquerading as christians, and that antichrist not THE Antichrist, posing as Jesus and that harlot calling herself Mary, I bet they’ll have fun at the Great White Throne Judgement.
I can definitely confirm that Australia is a wicked nation, Andrew. We have a shocking drinking and gambling culture here too. There’s also the glorification of criminals like Mark ‘Chopper’ Reed etc etc. The country is also pro-sodomite as well.
I’m not vaxxed and won’t be getting vaxxed either. I can go into a big rant about that. The Lord has being showing me things about vaccines and the devils behind them.
My whole family has gotten it now, despite my warnings about it. I thank God that I was able to see through the lies of the media and that I found brother Jacobs’ site here and brother Bryan’s ministry. I’ve learned so much form those guys and count it as a real blessing.
I know things are probably going to get tougher as I continue resisting the death shot. But, I’m not going to be taking it.
You and other saved Australians are in my prayers.
I didn’t not know about the gambling thing. I did know that the sodomite movement was actually ahead of the curve compared to America.
Praise the Lord for not caving in. Continue to fight against this stuff. The others that remain will towards you for leadership, advice, and salvation when the time comes. Plus, I figure some inheritance will be coming eventually.
Proverbs 13:22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
And I am glad The WP has been a great blessing for you!
Thanks Dave, I’m praying for you and other saved Americans too. It’s looks like things are getting rough over there.
Thanks for the encouragement brother Jacob. The way things are going here, the Lord Jesus Christ, His word, prayer and reliable news sites like this one are the only things keeping me sane. May God bless you brother and keep up the good work.
This site and Brian’s videos are the only two I rely on outside the Bible literally. Most of other “ministries” are crap really.
