Update Australia 05-02-22
Well, another good week in Australia is we’re watching and monitoring New South Wales is releasing a lot of the mandates and we’re seeing that the country is opening. And I want to share with you what we’re seeing with our legal team in the next steps that we’re taking. So play close attention to today’s update. Well, good morning, Australian chiropractors and allied health professionals. My name is Bharon Hoag. I am the Executive Director of OneChiropractic and The Chiropractic Defense Council coming to you today, Monday, May 2nd, 2022 for your weekly update. So we had a pretty good week this past week. We met with our legal team. I’m getting plugged in again after being gone on my travels. And, we’re optimistic in certain areas. Obviously we know New South Wales is kind of starting the trend of opening things back up.
I shared with you last week that we know I’m going to be able to come in, they’re allowing unvaccinated specimens to actually enter your country. So I’m starting to plan a trip to get out there and actually meet some of you guys face to face, which I’m very excited about. But I want to share with you kind of the, the concerns that we have, the things that we’re monitoring as well as some things that we’re optimistic about the concerns as we shared with you a couple weeks ago in south Australia, we’re looking at local health ministries and kind of the language that they are using. We’re looking at Opera and some of the language they’re using in their code of conduct. We’re just watching, we know that there’s always a plan. There’s a greater plan than we understand both good and bad.
And we’re trying to figure that out as much as we can to ensure that we never create a reality that we’ve had the last couple of years. So our legal team is not resting. We’re not sitting back in our laurels here. We’re really digging in and monitoring, but we are seeing things lessen up. We’re seeing mask mandates going away. We’re seeing vax mandates are winding down. We’re seeing local governments that are starting to use language stating that it’s coming to an end. Now I’ll be fully honest with you that I think that it’s going to pop back in a few months they’re going to refigure out how to claim another world travesty and do crazy things. So we’re not resting. Now’s the time that we need to build. Now’s the time that when we’re not bleeding, the resources like we have been that we need to continue to go strong.
We need to continue to grow our influence and make sure we’re prepared for the next wave, which is inevitable at some point. So I want you to know that we’re digging in deep. The good news is things are relaxing. We’re seeing that all over the world. It’s very positive. In New Zealand, we’re really doubling down and we are starting some civil disobedience there. We are finding that the government is just not enforcing a lot of what we’re seeing in Australia as well. There’s a lot of, a lot of, of letters. A lot of, you know, we’re going to do this, but they’ve yet to do it. We still don’t even have an official letter of fines or telling someone they need to shut down. All we have is emails or little communication. So, I don’t want to give you a false hope.
I’m not trying to push any other agenda other than letting you know the truth. And that is that nobody has really been enforced on anything. And our legal team is well positioned to be able to support our people. So I want you to just continue to free your mind. I want you to continue to get out of the hatred and the frustration and the unsettled feelings that we’ve had for the last couple years. And I want you to take control of your reality as you can tell, I’m traveling this weekend. And so I have some rudimentary videos here. Apologize about the quality, but I didn’t want to miss giving you information. This weekend I had an awesome privilege for chiropractors to understand a group which you guys should know very well, Centropy with Patrick and Aaron.
And, I got to sit and watch yesterday, all day long as around a hundred people were getting really trained on the art of chiropractic. And it was just phenomenal to watch the energy and the excitement and the ahas and the miracles that even had happened in the midst of a room with a bunch of chiropractic students and chiropractors, as they had issues they’ve been dealing with, get addressed with better skills and the basics and fundamentals of delivering a chiropractic adjustment. And I don’t know if you can see in my shirt or not, but it says “drop in”. And that was their theme. And I loved it. “drop in” means that we’re just going to put our mind a hundred percent present right now. And I think there’s a lesson in that. I think there’s a lesson for all of you, whether you’re a chiropractor or not, to “drop in”.
And that’s just to get rid of everything that you can’t control and put everything into the things that you can and what you can control is showing up every day into your clinics and loving and serving with full intent, not being fearful. Someone’s going to walk into your clinic, not being afraid of where the world’s headed and why. What you can control is where you’re at today. What you can control is what you’re doing right now, and being plugged in and dialed in so that you can deliver the best possible service that you can to your community. That’s what I’m asking you to do. I promise you, our team is on this. We are working hard. We are looking at all the D front avenues, making sure that things aren’t getting set up to knock us off the cliff, down the road. I need you to be present.
I need you to “drop in” to what you’re doing in your clinics, because I love you. And I appreciate your strength and your resilience. I have a new love for Australia and Australians because of you guys. And I can’t wait to come out there and spend some time with you and get to know you personally. But I want you to know that we’re working on these things. We’re going to continue to update you. Now is not the time to back off. I’m asking you to continue to spread the word to your colleagues, let people know what we’re doing. We need to continue to grow our influence, our resources, as well as our numbers. So that those that we represent are on a larger scale as we do the work that we’re doing. So I’m going to bid you a do for the week. I hope you have an incredible week this week. I know you are in your fall season, heading into winter and just know that we love you. Can’t thank you enough for your time and your energy and your passion and your support. And just know we’re going to continue to be there with you every step of the way. So we love you, have an incredible week and we’ll talk to you next week. God bless you.
