Bars and restaurants were also closed, including for takeaway and delivery.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Ms Ardern said modelling indicated New Zealand could have had more than 1,000 cases a day if it had not brought in the lockdown so early.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">She said the country could never know how bad it would have been but that "through our cumulative actions we have avoided the worst".</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">New Zealand's remote location and easily sealable borders played in its favour when the virus broke out, experts say.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">But the government has also been praised for the clarity of its messaging throughout the crisis.</span></p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span class="off-screen">Image caption</span><span class="media-caption__text">New Zealand brought in tough restrictions, such as closing pubs and bars, early on in the pandemic</span></span><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">At midnight local time (12:00 GMT on Monday), New Zealand moved from Level Four lockdown to Level Three. That means most businesses will be able to reopen - including restaurants for takeaways - but not those involving face-to-face contact.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-52424709" class="story-body__link">New Zealanders are being told to stick to their "bubble"</a> - a small group of close friends or family - and to stay 2m (6ft) away from people.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Mass gatherings are still banned, shopping centres remain closed and most children will remain away from school. New Zealand's border will remain closed.</span></p><h2 class="story-body__crosshead"><span style="font-size:14pt;">What's happening in Australia?</span></h2><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">In Australia, the rise in infections has also slowed considerably in recent weeks. There were just 16 new cases recorded on Sunday.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Much like in New Zealand, its government has been praised for its response to the crisis and opinion polls show that trust in the country's leadership has risen.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Restrictions are easing in some areas, with some states planning to relax social distancing rules to permit larger outdoor gatherings this week.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">In Queensland from Saturday, people will be free to go shopping for clothes, have a picnic in the park or go for a swim at the beach as long as it is within a 40-minute drive from home.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Western Australia is also joining South Australia in expanding the national two-person limit on gatherings to 10 people.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">However, most Australians are still required to stay at home unless they have essential work, shopping or exercise reasons to go out.</span></p><div class="player-with-placeholder"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><a href="https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/720x405/p08bdrlt.jpg" target="_blank"><img

Australian capital region declared a state of emergency on Friday because of an out-of-control forest fire burning erratically to its south.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:18pt;">It’s the first fire emergency for the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) area since 2003 when wildfires killed four people and destroyed almost 500 homes in a single day.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:18pt;">The threat is posed by a blaze on Canberra’s southern fringe that has razed more than 214 square kilometres since it was sparked by heat from a military helicopter landing light on Monday, the Emergency Services Agency said.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:18pt;">“The state of emergency sets a clear expectation for our community that we need you to be vigilant,” emergency services minister Mick Gentleman told reporters. “This is the worst bushfire season in the ACT since 2003.”</span></p><p><span style="font-size:18pt;">The fire is burning at emergency level — the highest on a three-tier scale of danger — and embers have created dangerous spot fires nearby, agency officials said.</span></p><div><ul class="similarLinks"><li class="similarListItem"><span

For me that’s huge!</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">We’re not finished yet. The bushfires are still burning (see story, below). Let’s keep meditating to put an end to them (ask for<em> gentle</em> rain!) , now that we know our work is producing results!</span></p><hr /><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Jan. 18, 2020.</span></p><hr /><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Steve: Have the terrible Australian bushfires been set with malintent?</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Archangel Michael: Are these fires, these raging infernos, for a variety of reasons, horrific? Well, that is beyond discussion. Of course they are.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">And have some been set with very malign intent? Yes. But the balancing is that there have been global actions involving literally billions of people in their own way, working, praying, meditating for rain.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">And this has shown a potential and the result of the collective to heal what has gone wrong or awry with the planet.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OH_bW1V-63w?wmode=opaque" width="500" height="290" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em>Collective meditation can affect the world’s situation and outlook.</em></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Gaia will regenerate herself. That is not the issue.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">The issue is to understand that the human collective, in a very clear way, is saying “No” to these atrocities. And in seen and unseen way demonstrations of cooperative unity. Seen and unseen they are correcting this atrocity. So it is saying to Gaia, “We are going to take care of you.”</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Steve: Have our mass meditations significantly impacted the collective consciousness?</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">AAM: Absolutely!</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Steve: Do you want to say little bit more on that?</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">AAM: It is the coming together in heart and mind and spirit, unselfishly, because these actions have not been, by and large, motivated by individual wants or needs. So it is the unselfish coming together for the highest good, not only of these poor kingdoms, the animals, and the planet herself, the trees, the grass, the air which has been severely damaged, to come together to heal.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">So what it has done – these many collective meditations – is not simply to demonstrate the power of heart intelligence but the power to result in tangible measurable ways how the collective can shift the direction of anything, not just fire but in anything.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Steve: So you are saying that the rains were a result of the various collective meditations?</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">AAM: That is correct</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Steve: Oh, wow, isn’t that spectacular!</span></p><hr /><p class="title"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong><a href="https://goldenageofgaia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screen-Shot-2020-01-25-at-8.17.17-AM-300x152.png" target="_blank"><img src="https://goldenageofgaia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screen-Shot-2020-01-25-at-8.17.17-AM-300x152.png?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="300" class="align-left" alt="Screen-Shot-2020-01-25-at-8.17.17-AM-300x152.png?profile=RESIZE_710x" /></a>Where Are Fires Still Burning in Australia?

Fires have claimed at least 31 lives, destroyed thousands of homes and burned more than 27 million acres of land, twice the size of Maryland.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">On Saturday morning local time, 62 bush and grass fires were burning in NSW, a state on the south-eastern side of Australia, according to the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS). They were all listed as “Advice” alert level fires, meaning there was no immediate danger. Residents in impacted areas were encouraged to remain informed of the situation in case it changed.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><img src="https://d.newsweek.com/en/full/1562556/new-south-wales-australia-wildfire-map.jpg?w=737&f=e4c981eddfd16d3ae9450c905351b594" alt="new south wales australia wildfire map" /></span></p><div class="innerBox"><div class="innerBox"><span style="font-size:14pt;"></span><div class="wp-caption alignnone"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><a href="https://d.newsweek.com/en/full/1562556/new-south-wales-australia-wildfire-map.jpg?w=737&f=e4c981eddfd16d3ae9450c905351b594" target="_blank"></a></span><span style="font-size:14pt;">A map shows where wildfires in New South Wales are burning as of Saturday morning local time.

The victims were identified as Americans, Captain Ian H. McBeth, First Officer Paul Clyde Hudson and Flight Engineer Rick A. DeMorgan Jr, who had gone to Australia to assist in fighting the fires.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Gladys Berejiklian, Premier of NSW, posted on Twitter that the news was “heartbreaking and devastating,” and flew flags at half-mast on Friday out of respect for the firefighters.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">“Our thoughts & heartfelt condolences are with their families & the tight-knit firefighting community,” Berejiklian wrote in a tweet.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">The premier also announced that a state memorial would be held for the firefighters on February 23 at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. Emergency service workers, NSW RFS and members of the public were invited to “come together as families and communities to work their way through this unbelievable loss.”</span></p><div><div class="owo-main-wrapper"><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Farther south, in the state of Victoria, 37 bushfires were burning on Saturday morning local time, according to <a href="http://emergency.vic.gov.au/respond/">VicEmergency</a>.

Then everything changed. I saw the devastation the fires had cruelly inflicted on our precious native animals- the survivors without a voice who have lost everything. Their families, their home, their food- their entire everything.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;">I decided in that very instant not to be a silent observer of this unfolding tragedy and that I would throw everything I could at this to make a difference and not sit idle and watch events unfold on the 75” flatscreen reporting the fire event 24/7 for weeks. I immediately connected with Southern Highlands Wildlife Food Co-operative, Animal Rescue Cooperative, and Shoalhaven Bat Clinic and Sanctuary and mobilised everything I had- my determination, energy, will power, time and money to “make a difference”.... that’s always been my mantra in life “ to make a difference”.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;">After 5 -7 days of crazy long days, thousands of km up and down NSW and thousands upon thousands of my own money here’s my summary.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;">It is life and death today for our starving surviving native wildlife!!! It is blatantly obvious that if we; the truly empathetic, caring and heart broken people of the world leave this mass starvation event to others to act on, especially the bureaucrats, the red tape brigade and the establishment, tens of millions of our surviving native wildlife will starve to death because of inaction by the vast majority of our population.All the while, good willed volunteers of our global community are being tied up in red tape and bureaucracy that seems to encircle the monumental effort that these individuals, wildlife care/ rescue groups are making to feed these poor starving animals who survived and are now totally reliant upon us, citizens of the world to feed and provide water to them in order to sustain their lives.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;">Decide in this very instant as you read this to not be a silent spectator, make a promise to our poor native animals that you will be their voice and that you do indeed hear their desperate calls for YOUR help. Please act TODAY- do not delay!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;">Please email, message, ring your State Premier, State and Federal members of Parliament, your local Members of Parliament, the Prime Minister- the whole bloody lot of the bureaucracy and red tape army that runs our country and DEMAND ACTION TODAY to ensure we give the survivors the best chance possible of avoiding death by starvation.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;">Pledge TODAY to refuse to sit idle and watch on as this disaster of international significance unfolds before our crying eyes.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;">FOR EVERYONE THAT CANNOT ACTIVELY ASSIST- DO NOT IGNORE THIS, IT IS REAL , IT IS HAPPENING AND WE ARE THE ANIMALS ONLY HOPE IN A HOPELESS SITUATION!!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;">Please use the below as a template and spread the word today both in Australia and overseas. Overseas people, please alter to suit your local political system and scream loud and hard for Australia’s starving unique native animals that we all love.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;">The Honorable Premier Daniel Andrews,</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;">Our native wildlife are starving right now, right this very second in every fire affected area in your state of Victoria and all other states of fire ravaged Australia.</span><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;">I implore you with my total heart and conviction to seek an immediate declaration by the Federal Government of Australia of a National Disaster facing our native wildlife species and invoke extraordinary powers of Federal and Defence assets to deal with this crisis of life and death for the silent millions of animals currently starving at this very moment in our National Parks, State Forests and Crown Lands. Demand the immediate assistance of the RAAF in order to start mass food drops to the starving native animals who survived the fire storm that has obliterated their home. We as empathetic humans are their only lifeline to survival.</span><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;">Make the phone call today, and request the immediate help of the Australian RAAF assets fleet to start mass food drops to these desperate animals. You need to take this on board and do it immediately, TODAY; there’s a fleet of aircraft sitting fairly idle at RAAF base Richmond NSW that can be and should be immediately doing this TODAY; not tomorrow, not next week, not next month... cut through the red tape and bureaucracy that is encircling this mass starvation event and just make it happen.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;">Tens of thousands of regular Australians are taking up the cause head on and volunteering their time, energy and resources to prevent this catastrophe from claiming millions more innocent native animals lives.</span><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;">I call on you as the elected Premier of Victoria to do this one act that will save countless lives of our suffering silent victims of the fire storm-our precious native animals.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;">Kind regards,</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;">Marcus St Vincent</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;">**Please alter to suit and share it immediately and implore every person on Mother Earth no matter where they are to do the same in their respective countries TODAY.</span><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;">If the global TRIBE does not act on this mass starvation event today animals affected that have no voice will starve TOMORROW!</span><br /><br /><span

They helped me write a book, on how our negative emotions are not worth listening to. (<a href="http://www.thesoulwins.com">www.thesoulwins.com</a>)</p><p>Australian politics took a serious downturn at the last election. It has become the cruellest government on earth.</p><p>Unfortunately, I finally gave in to fear and anger. I was so distraught at what they were doing to the Aboriginal people, that I stated publicly that our government is truly evil. My intuition said not to, but I did anyway.</p><p>I got 'into trouble' from my spirit guides... Big Time. I'd spread fear, instead of love, respect, forgiveness and gratitude.</p><p>However I know that stating the truth can sometimes help others to feel the urgency too, and at least make them think more compassionately, if not getting involved.</p><p>So I asked to speak to the PM's 'Higher Self'.</p><p>I was immediately gifted with the knowledge that they are helping Australian people to decide where they sit, to unite, against cruelty from governments for once and for all, and they are doing a superb job.</p><p>It's true: people have started a global movement in support of keeping Aboriginal people on their land. The outcry from Australians, and from overseas, is wonderful.</p><p>However I'd failed in my 'mission'. I felt overwhelming guilt, for the first time in decades, and it was primal. I suffered through it for what felt like hours. I bargained a bit... to no avail. Until I remembered that our loving spirit world is always forgiving, and I forgave myself.</p><p>Then I was gifted with seeing my old childhood fears, anger and guilt finally being cleansed from my body.</p><p>It was stored in every single organ, and I could see my organs being removed, placed in front of my abdomen, being bathed in stars, and then being replaced. It felt liberating!</p><p>I still had unfinished business however, so in my mind, I went to Parliament. There was a room full of men. They said "You lied to us! You said you'd treat us with respect!"</p><p>I said "Yes, I know. I'm sorry." It was awful... Then I remembered, and said :"However, stating my fears helped others to get involved, so aren't we on the same page?"</p><p>There was dead silence. Everyone looked at each other.</p><p>Then they all agreed! There was back slapping and laughter, and then I imagined giving them the same healing that I got, cleansing all fear, anger and guilt from their organs, which they seemed to enjoy.</p><p>I felt like they really were our brothers in another dimension, whether their egos know this or not, and that Australia can and WILL survive this threat, and win. I'm not predicting anything; this was just my vision.</p><p>The guilt I felt was for my own healing. I know that we are always forgiven by loving spirits, as long as we learn something from our mistakes. We are all human.</p><p>Anyway... I'm passing on what I was reminded of: it's wise to treat demons with respect. We are in a virtual social experiment. We <em>chose</em> for demons to exist, and "someone had to play the role" Also,</p><p>"When we learn our lessons, even the sorcerors leave us alone"</p><p>Aboriginal shamanic wisdom. </p><p>Also, when we treat demons with respect, we immediately get rewarded. The peace of mind that I am experiencing, is directly inversely proportional to the horror I was experiencing two days ago. What a relief. Thank you 'evil' people :) </p><p>Lots of love xxx</p><p>Moanna</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p></div>Heaven on Earth :-))))) and then, a UFO sighting :-)))))https://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/profiles/blogs/heaven-on-earth-and-then-a-ufo-sighting2013-06-16T10:39:05.000Z2013-06-16T10:39:05.000ZMoannahttps://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/members/Moanna<div><p>Hi All!</p><p>I have been working in exchange for accommodation and then got sent to an island to work on the boss's property there. It involves gardening on top of a hill looking at surrounding islands, and over at Australia. When I look up from digging holes and weeding, I am amazed at the view. WTF? lol :D The place is known for its singing and dancing, reggae music and friendly culture. The local Indigenous people are as usual, open and honest, and laid back, and one is my crew member, teaching me how to work with machinery, which is a giggle. The first night here I sat with the boss on the hill with a wine and listened to gospel music wafting up from the church below. In order to keep workers here they have to take it slowly and pace themselves in order to make it sustainable. Invitations to the islands may involve 80 kms of 6 metre waves in a tinny, but this is their culture, and they grew up this way. It's mad!</p><p>After a week of comedy, beauty and soulful conversations I was sitting down on my own. The northern kookaburras live here and were very vocal, claiming the house as their territory, the cockatoos were being cheeky and I was feeling totally overwhelmed with the magic of this place. I decided that I felt like I was HOME, that I really must have done something good, and that this was Heaven On Earth. It brought me to tears.</p><p>Then I looked up at the stars above me. There were 2 bright stars, one above the other. If you held your arm outstretched they would have been about 2 inches apart. If the top one was the centre of a clock, the lower one was 2 inches away at 7 o'clock.</p><p>About 8 inches to the left of these stars, a tiny orange light, far, far up was heading towards these stars, but it was slowly doing an up and down wave pattern. As it approached the lower star, it disappeared, about 2 inches from the star. Then the star immediately started moving! I couldn't believe my eyes, was this for real? It was, as it moved from the 7 o'clock position to the 6 then the 5 o'clock position, and slowly did a wide arc around the top star before also disappearing.</p><p>Then another tiny orange light started where the first one had started from, moving in the same direction, although this one was going in a straight line, like a satellite does.</p><p>I knew that these were my friends, the 1st two at least, saying Hi, we are here, yes, this is real.</p><p>I was reminded of Archangel Michael saying on 21/12/12 that we would be brought to our knees with overwhelming gratitude and joy. </p><p>This is my first UFO sighting!</p><p>I know that it takes energy to decloak and that they didn't need to prove their existence to me.

"A mother and daughter reported seeing two bright red lights nearly half the size of the moon on April 23 that remained stationary above the road for a few minutes before it took off". >> "Several other people reportedly stopped to see it as the second light lingered before disappearing seconds later."</p><p>"Back in March there was a sighting above the bushland between Robina & Mudgeeraba (QLD) when a man reported seeing bright orange lights above his girlfriends house."</p><p>People were urged to continue reporting sightings during the colder months.</p><p>Reports of sightings of UFO Research Queensland have skyrocked since "The Sun Newspaper" published a Varsity Lakes woman's close encounter of the first kind last year.</p><p>>>Seeing a UFO is known as a close encounter of the First Kind.</p><p>>>Physical evidence brings that rating up to the Second Kind.</p><p>>>While CONTACT with a UFO is a close encounter of the Third Kind.</p><p>To report a sighting call >> 0733 761 780 or email <a href="mailto:info@uforq.asn.au">info@uforq.asn.au</a></p><p> </p><p>I know that this article pretains mostly to the people of this region in Australia, but thought that if anyone else in any other parts of Australia had a UFO sighting or contact that there is a viable source that they could contact if they choose to share.</p><p>Blessings...with EYES WIDE OPEN</p></div>Emmanuel Kelly, my new hero... grab your tissues!!!https://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/profiles/blogs/emmanuel-kelly-my-new-hero-grab-your-tissues2011-10-20T20:39:48.000Z2011-10-20T20:39:48.000ZKelly Lightchalicehttps://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/members/KellyLightchalice<div><p><iframe width="560" frameborder="0" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/W86jlvrG54o?wmode=opaque" height="315"></iframe></p><p> </p><p>I hope you enjoy this fellow as much as I did, he is inspirational... this moved me so deeply, I cry just thinking about it. </p><p>Love to you all.</p></div>Speading time in the Dreamtime (my Australian ties)https://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/profiles/blogs/speading-time-in-the-dreamtime2010-05-18T12:26:10.000Z2010-05-18T12:26:10.000ZMichael - Ghttps://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/members/MichaelG<div><p>Wow, what an amazing week,</p><p></p><p>Leaving downunder here in australia, it is was such a pleasure the last few days with my dreamtime brothers and sisters in real dreamtime.</p><p>I can't explain it, the trance, the syncrenincity, the music, i felt home, i discovered my imagination, my spirit, a beautiful part of this human experience.</p><p>This truely felt like home.</p><p></p><p>love and light'</p><p>Michael</p></div>Australian slumdog millionaires in Indiahttps://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/profiles/blogs/australian-slumdog2009-03-07T11:31:32.000Z2009-03-07T11:31:32.000ZRamesh M.
