Ted Cruz blasted Australia’s COVID rules. A top Australian official didn’t hold back

  Mike Stunson Mon, October 18, 2021, 3:59 PM The chief minister of the Northern Territory of Australia responded Monday to comments made by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz about the country’s strict rules to protect against COVID-19. The territory announced last week that workers who interact with the public must receive their first vaccination shot by Nov. 12  or face a $5,000 fine , the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported. About 68% of its residents were already fully vaccinated as of Sunday. The mandate got a harsh response from Cruz, a senator who has often lashed out against COVID-19 polices in the United States. He tweeted that he has “ always said Australia is the Texas of the Pacific ” because of its “rugged independence,” so he was disheartened by the new rules in the territory. “The Covid tyranny of their current government is disgraceful & sad,” the Texas senator said Wednesday. “Individual liberty matters.

Supposedly, they urinated on a bed in the presidential suite at the Ritz-Carlton that had been previously used by then-President  Barack Obama , and Russian intelligence may have secretly recorded the incident. Steele said he is “prepared to accept” that some of the things in the dossier might not be true.  But the pee tape? “I think it probabl
