The Australian government is deploying the army to ensure overseas travellers comply with mandatory self-isolation rules. New quarantine measures will force all returning Australians to quarantine in hotel rooms for two weeks.
Each day between 3,000 and 5,000 people are expected to arrive in Sydney.
well maybe they need to look at the laws first to see that they can't treat people who have not been tested and have not committed a crime as terrorists
Hope we are using our Crack SAS teams they play for keeps.
What Australians now know, (1) LNP/Labor have access unlimited amounts of money (2), Australians can have their freedoms removed at any time (3) Australian defence forces are traders, who will never protect the people from their own treasonous government & uphold the constitution
When the finish with that, can they please be deployed to ensure politicians Obey the Constitution 1901, the Supreme Law of the Land, which is their duty to obey? Thank You. From Australia!
I'd stick to the rules if there was anyway I could get back to Oz 😞🇦🇺💔
Excellent decision. Maybe now people will get the message as still, people just don’t get it. First it was Bondi and it was St Kilda beach. What part of social distancing people don’t get. It is serious so get with the program
Cheap labour? Just like when we were used for cheap labour doing security checks for the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne in 06.

States to cover costs of forced quarantine for new arrivals | Sky News AustraliaNSW Police Minister David Elliott says he believes hotels will be “handed over” to authorities under changes which force all people arriving in Australia from Sunday to be placed in 14-day quarantine around their landing site.\n\n“I doubt very much that you’d find there’d be many guests at a hotel that would want to be staying at a property where there are potentially carriers of coronavirus,” he told Sky News host Chris Kenny.\n\nWhen asked about the cost of acquiring hotels for the duration of the quarantine measure, Mr Elliott said based on his briefing “state governments will be covering the costs of the hotels which would probably include some sort of food arrangement, beverages”.\n\n“I don’t think that anybody coming off a plane would expect the taxpayer to cover any of those further luxuries over the course of a 14-day period.”\n\nImage: Getty Who exactly are these people who are not self-isolating? what countries are they arriving from? what countries do these people originate? I am pretty sure we all know -_- who will pay for the hotel fee? Must have to WELD them in like they did in China.

If it's in Sydney, it will be in Sydney,” he said.\n\nThe Prime Minister thanked the public for adhering to strict social distancing measures after revealing movement around Sydney and Melbourne dropped by 80 per cent.\n\nHe said the public’s adherence to social isolating is why the national cabinet can target overseas travellers.\n It’s a no brainer but excellent job and I hope now people really get the message Well done You break quarantine which some will try, you go on Pinchgut. ellymelly RealMarkLatham GladysB
