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"

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!

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!"

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"

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
