Defence Minister Peter Dutton confirmed tonight that up to 300 personnel would be deployed "in the coming days" following the request from NSW Police for help in enforcing COVID-19 compliance of the Greater Sydney lockdown.
A file photo shows Australian troops from 3 RAR walking out to board a C-130 Hercules aircraft on September 11, 2020 as they were being deployed to Victoria and NSW as part of Operation COVID-19 Assist. NSW's COVID-19 cases have continued to rise in recent days despite harsh lockdown measures, with today marking a new high of 239 local cases.
He confirmed he had formally asked Prime Minister Scott Morrison for 300 ADF personnel to assist police on the ground, particularly in western and south-western Sydney.
Strange that the 'troops' wasn't required in the Eastern Suburbs outbreak, nor demonstrations, but are in the Western Suburbs, without demonstrations? Mmmm, strange!!
300 lol be enough for a small suburb
Here thousands of infections every day. Cumulative already millions. And still I don’t know any covid deaths. But I do know suicide deaths, severe other problems because of government tyranny. But we have no lockdown right now. Makes you think…. hopefully

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!

All the new rules as Sydney’s lockdown extendedSydneysiders will be locked down for another four weeks as Covid cases continue to soar. These are all the rules residents need to know. You can’t allow movement in a delta outbreak because it doesn’t care if your a tradie or not and allowing people to move ten kms is bizarre. This will not stop until we stop moving and lockdown everyone😎 So if you are a tradie you can work in your local area..no issues as our weak premier GladysB can’t upset her best mates

Protester accused of punching police horse refusing COVID test in jail, court toldA man accused of punching a police horse during Saturday's anti-lockdown protest in Sydney will remain behind bars after a court hears he is refusing a COVID-19 test in prison. Is his name Wayne Kerr? Did you see the video? He didn't punch the horse. He was protecting himself from the cop swinging his horse around trying to knock down the protesters. There was no punch. He only has himself blame here.
