Australia news LIVE: NSW COVID-19 cases continue to soar as harsher restrictions implemented for eight Sydney LGAs

University of New South Wales Adjunct Professor Bill Bowtell was speaking on Seven’s breakfast showYou might recall that NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has described Sydney’s restrictions as the harshest in Australia. While that may be correct currently, due to Victoria being out of lockdown, the policy settings in Greater Sydney are not the strictest Australia has ever seen.

“It was a very black day yesterday ... and it looks like it will go in the wrong direction today and for the next few weeks. A lot more has to be done.”Defence Minister Peter Dutton says the Australian Defence Force will be hitting Sydney’s streets “as soon as possible” to help NSW Police enforce tightened lockdown orders.

So we shoot the general public on sight for not wearing a mask? What have we become?

You know a government has failed you when they need to bring in the military

Desperate to be vaccinated, migrants in Sydney pay hundreds to get their COVID-19 jabsPeople in the southwest Sydney suburb of Campsie, where there are high rates of COVID-19 transmission, have paid hundreds of dollars to be vaccinated. My take - the clinic is pushing the boundaries with their patient fees but it is a private clinic…but the overly convoluted NSWHealth booking system is the bigger issue here. nswpol has been slow to address language barriers, and it’s going to become an even bigger issue. Blessed Health Care clinic is that a religious based clinic? which sect? The government need to reconsider how to pay private run practices that are helping marginalised people. At least the clinic is doing a comprehensive assessment before administering the vaccine. Initially I was shocked about the charges but I can see this is a Medicare issue!
