hermit kingdom

A state of Australia that was driven by fear into building a trump like wall around it to lock out any strangers. This made it easier for them to hide under their doonas until the scary things went away

WA really is a hermit kingdom.

Those doona dwellers in the hermit kingdom have lost the plot

To backflip and change direction at the last moment. To have a plan and then drop it at the last moment

I was driving down the road and next minute this idiot did a McGowan right in front of me

Westralia Syndrome

This was observed in Western Australia after March 2020. Similar in concept to Stockholm Syndrome but in this instance most of the population of the "hermit state" fell in love with their captor in what would become the worlds largest hostage situation. It would seperate one state from the rest of the nation.

OMG those dudes in WA are cooked, the Westralia Syndrome is out of control.
Australia used to be one country, but after Westralia Syndrome kicked in things got weird!
I used to like visiting my family in the West before the Westralia Syndrome ruined things!
This Westralia Syndrome is harder to deal with than Trumps wall!

doona dwellers

A group of people who became so scared of the concept of living that they were literally petrified. They resorted to hiding under their doonas for three years and waiting for the scary things to go away

Those dudes in WA are seriously doona dwellers
What's with those doona dwellers? They're a bunch of chicken shits.
Wow I'd rather be living my life than be a doona dweller.

BHA (Based on Health Advice)

During the covid19 outbreaks in Australia between 2020-2022 Politicians often drove their own agendas by implementing a law or rule and justifying it by saying "Based on Health Advice". This started with the best of intentions but ended up a little self serving and crazy, particularly in places like Western Australia where they full on took the piss and you could pretty much say "Based on Health Advice you're going to jail"!
The public caught onto this and it became common to use this as a sarcastic tag line when making an excuse for getting what you wanted or making someone else suffer. This was called a BHA or "Based on Health Advice"

"BHA (Based on Health Advice) you're shouting dinner".

I said to my girlfriend "BHA you're on top tonight"
"Sorry dude BHA you're not invited."
"BHA , i'm riding shotgun"
"BHA you're on dunny duty"
