Hundreds of Australian Defence Force troops to be deployed to Greater Sydney to enforce lockdown measures

Up to 300 Australian Defence Force personnel will be deployed to Greater Sydney to ensure residents are complying with COVID-19 orders in the coming days, the federal government has confirmed.

"Defence members will commence deploying on Friday 30 July to undertake training over the weekend and commence working under the direction of NSW Police on Monday 2 August."But Cumberland City Council major Steve Christou said he was concerned about the prospect of the army being sent in, as it would cause anxiety among residents.

"They can't afford to pay the mortgage, the rent, the food or work. Now to throw out the army to enforce lockdown on the streets is going to be a huge issue to these people.He said it would be a different scenario if the army was to help Western Sydney health centres and with logistics. "Using the defence force to ensure compliance by Australians or to deter civil disobedience is a concerning use of our armed forces," he said.

Welcome to the Fascist State.

Dutton, who said it was a mistake bringing Lebs here, & we're under attack from black gangs, & 'those people' are taking our place in hospital lines, & they're all pedophiles etc is the last person to communicate lockdown to confused ethnics

This will be the end of the LNP and I don’t need a crystal ball to predict this

Once again that Australia’s immigration policy is stupid &wrong!it has been proved that immigrants haven’t integrated into the social environment that Aust is proud of. On the contrary, those immigrants have destroyed the social culture of Australia by all kinds of inferiority.

Why Greater Sydney's COVID lockdown is likely to be extended againThere are two things that will see Greater Sydney emerge from its COVID-19 lockdown but this expert says that, on both counts, there's bad news. Why even write this when it’s not yet 24 hrs since lockdown was extended ! Extension through to September 2024 - great job Gladys and Health Hazzard Because people. Too many who won’t stay away from others, won’t wear masks, won’t vax. It only works if everyone does it so extensions will keep happening until most people comply. It’s sad for Sydney. Melbourne understands how gruelling it is.
