Booster shot

Putting off the inevitable for as long as possible.
Procrastinating or looking for an excuse to delay making a decision or doing something necessary.
Based on the much questioned excuse used by the Western Australian premier to delay opening his state in 2022.
In that state it hit cult status quickly and became a sarcastic excuse given for apathy or to buy some time

"Sam have you finished your homework?" "No Mum I'm waiting for my booster shot haha"
"have you guys set a date yet?" "no we still aren't sure" "WTF? Are you guys waiting for a booster shot!!?"
"John any chance of you doing the rubbish this year!?" "yeh sure, soon as I get my booster shot"
"Typical tradie didn't show up!, maybe he was getting his booster shot!"
"Those doona dwellers in the hermit kingdom aren't going anywhere! Haha, cause They're waiting for their booster shots!"

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.

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!

BHA (Based on health advice)

During the covid epidemic in Australia politicians made many decisions "Based on Health Advice". At the start these were legitimate however over time they were politicised and used to further politicians agendas. Particularly in the Hermit Kingdom of Westralia where this was recognised amongst the doona dwellers and the term BHA quickly became a satirical phrase to excuse bad behaviour.

"BHA (Based on Health Advice) it's your shout".

"I told my missus, BHA (Based on Health Advice) you're on top tonight"
"BHA (Based on Health Advice) you're on dunny duty again"
"Sorry dude, BHA (Based on Health Advice) you're not invited"
