2021-12-15 我发表了《当年我投奔自由，现在终于可为自由作出一点贡献》。现在一个月过去了，我刚从阳光海岸(Sunshine Coast)度假一个礼拜回来，正好总结一下。
自由，牺牲
在2021-12-17之前，我可以随便到餐厅食饭，去电影院看戏，不用带口罩。在博物馆要带口罩。几个月前，政府已经放出风声，当两剂疫苗普及率达到80%--90%（各州不同），就放松各种管制，然而，要对未打疫苗者实施更严格的限制。
===========================
Overview
On 17 December 2021, restrictions on businesses were eased
However, there are restrictions on people who are not fully vaccinated.
When border restrictions were eased, COVID-19 began to circulate in our community. To ensure we don't overwhelm our hospital system when we have outbreaks, some restrictions on unvaccinated people are necessary.
Eased restrictions for businesses
From 17 December 2021, there are no capacity restrictions on businesses that are only permitted to allow fully vaccinated people to attend, including:
- hospitality venues such as pubs, clubs, taverns, bars, restaurants, cafes and fast food outlets
- indoor entertainment venues such as nightclubs, live music venues, karaoke bars, concerts, theatres or cinemas, casinos
- outdoor entertainment activities such as sporting stadiums or theme parks
- festivals – either indoor or outdoor – such as musical festivals, folk festivals or arts festivals
- activities – either indoor or outdoor – such as convention and entertainment centres and showgrounds
- Queensland Government owned galleries, museums or libraries
Venues used for private hire have no capacity limit if people attending are fully vaccinated. However, if there is a person attending who is not fully vaccinated, COVID-19 density restrictions apply. This means a maximum of 20 people or 1 per 4 square meters, whichever is less.
Collection of contact information by business operators
A business operator must collect contact information, proof of vaccination or evidence of medical contraindication from all staff, guests and patrons when entering an establishment by using the Check In Qld app.
If a business operator cannot use the Check In Qld app, they must use alternative measures to record the contact information details.
Obligation of staff
Any member of staff must give their contact information, proof of COVID-19 vaccination or evidence of medical contraindication by using the Check In Qld app or another measure of record keeping before entering their place of work.
A staff member is not required to give their contact information, proof of vaccination or evidence of medical contraindication if they are:
- under the age of 16 years
- entering to provide emergency services
- exercising law enforcement
- at risk of safety.
Community responsibilities
A person must give their contact information, proof of COVID-19 vaccination or evidence of medical contraindication by using the Check In Qld app or another measure of record keeping before entering a business establishment.
A person may give these entry requirements on behalf of another person who:
- is under the age of 16 years
- has a disability
- speaks a language other than English and is unable to understand the Check In Qld app.
A person is not required to give their contact information, proof of vaccination or evidence of medical contraindication if they are:
- under the age of 16 years
- in primary or secondary school and is part of a group attending an activity organised by a school, sporting team or community group
- exercising law enforcement
- at risk of safety.
Restrictions for unvaccinated people
From 17 December 2021, unvaccinated people are not permitted to:
- visit vulnerable settings, including hospitals, residential aged care, disability accommodation services, and prisons. This does not apply to residents and patients of these facilities, and there will be some exceptions for medical treatment, end-of-life visits, childbirth and emergency situations
- attend hospitality venues such as hotels, pubs, clubs, taverns, bars, restaurants or cafes
- attend indoor entertainment venues such as nightclubs, live music venues, karaoke bars, concerts, theatres or cinemas
- attend outdoor entertainment activities such as sporting stadiums, theme parks or tourism experience like reef excursions
- attend festivals – either indoor or outdoor – such as musical festivals, folk festivals or arts festivals
- attend Queensland Government owned galleries, museums or libraries.
If anyone attending a wedding is unvaccinated, it is restricted to a maximum of 20 people.
Funerals will not be limited to only vaccinated people. This is because funeral sometimes occur at short notice and often under difficult circumstances making it hard to ensure all attendees are vaccinated. However, funerals will still be required to comply with occupant density limits and caps on attendees to minimise the risk of transmission.
These restrictions target non-essential leisure activities which are not essential for people to meet their basic needs, but present a considerable risk to contributing to an outbreak in our community when our borders reopen.

==============================
联邦总理还对各州总理说，不要这样限制未打疫苗人士的自由啊，让他们也享受疫苗普及大好形势下放松了管制而逐渐恢复正常的社会。这样说，相当假惺惺。因为，在联邦制度下，制定和执行相关限制，是各州的事。
我认为此新增限制不合逻辑，非法和违宪。然而，我不会因为政府如是非法作为而故意违反当前非法之法。
盘点一下过去一个月我为自由作出的一点牺牲和贡献。
1. 以前每个礼拜都去餐厅一两次。现在取消了。其中一次是与在退休村居住的母亲一起食饭。
2. 那就买外卖在退休村的活动中心一起食饭吧。经理说，不能在室内。然可以在室外。
3. 圣诞档期有一批猛片上画。只好错过了。
4. 在Bundaberg 旅游期间一天晚上，慕名到市中心的一家牛排屋。家人锯排，我在旁边的中餐馆点了个什锦炒面外卖，在对面的市政公园食，并接受盛夏蚊叮。
5. 在 Bundaberg Rum 工厂，家人参观。而我在停车场等候。其实，只有我饮 Rum. 我对保安说，也许你们应该申请例外，访客即使未打疫苗，只要饮一大口Rum，即可入内。
其实，这相比于香港“反送中”运动中为了自由而死伤和失去了个人自由的志士仁人所牺牲的和所贡献的，实在是九牛一毛。
彩虹海岸和杂七杂八
这次旅游的基本目的地是彩虹海滩（Rainbow Beach）, 在阳光海岸以北，几年前我们到Fraser Island 旅游时，擦边而过。
在1月8日礼拜六从布里斯班出发，过了Noosa Heads 地区后，见到沿路有新鲜洪水几小时前冲过，有一段路被冲毁了一边，要单线行车。沿路也见多个路段，洪水差半米左右会漫过路面。后来我们才知道，周边地区昨晚受台风影响下了大雨，有些地方12小时内下了平时一年的雨量，超过600毫米。我们见到的洪水，是第一波洪峰越过了几小时之后。
在Bundaberg 旅游结束后，驱车南往彩虹海滩。然而途中的Maryborough 在几小时前被第二波洪峰漫过市中心地区，封了去路。我问一位封路的警察如何办。我在司机座，他在车窗外帮我在手机的导航Google Maps 上设定多点的绕路，并说大致比正常的路径要开多两个小时。再出发几分中后，我才醒起，我与警察都没带口罩，两个头凑在一起看手机。
在Rainbow Beach 地区，有两个地方比较特别。一个是Searys Creek。这条小溪的水是红色的，而河床是浅黄白色的沙底。我在淌水下游时发觉水深大致是半米到一米半。
另一个项目是驱车在 Cooloola Beach。在山丘和沙滩边缘的浮沙上跑，需要4驱车。2016年时我在Fraser Island 旅游，当时是租4驱车，由租赁公司设定固定的低档和低车胎压力，面向初学者。这次我是用自己的Land Cruiser Station Wagon，专门买了个 Compressor 用来放气和打气。
后记
这段时间，于世界大事，有两件事发生：
1. 世界网球头号种子Novak Djokovic被澳洲政府拘留并准备驱逐出境。Djokovic 赢了官司。然而，澳洲政府还是把他赶走。
2. 美帝拜登政府的强制疫苗令被最高法院判定违法。
