NSW seeks help from the Australian Defence Force as police step up lockdown enforcement

But the mayor of Cumberland Council fears his south-western Sydney community will find the image of troops patrolling their streets “demoralising”.

“The assistance of the ADF has been essential over the past 18 months – particularly during last year’s border operation, the ongoing hotel quarantine operation and the assistance provided with logistics support in the Police Operations Centre,” Commissioner Fuller said in a statement.“As I have said previously, support from the army will add another line of defence to the NSW Government’s crackdown on COVID-19 compliance,” he said.

“I don't think people are going to accept it very well - our people are one of the poorest demographics, and as it is, they already feel picked on and marginalised, as if their whole life has been taken away from them.

I didn’t think the ADF had powers to enforce NSW law?

Wear can i get a hat like that one?

They need every road out of Greater Sydney locked down by the Army too. Change truck drivers for clean Regional drivers on transports coming out too, after cleaning cabs.

How many?....

SYDNEY OUT OF CONTROL COVID. STILL VOTE LIBERAL NATIONAL PARTY. SOOO FUNNY.

If a planned march goes ahead Saturday, stop the trains running or skip from central and city circle line, blockade Parramatta road, Victoria Rd, and the eastern suburbs entry ways. If they can't get into the city driving, on public transport or walking, they'll go home.

Lest we regret

About time

Most people ARE following the rules... the problem is that Gladbags didn't lock down hard and early, so she allowed the Delta strain to spread like we all know it does. Send the ADF to Gladbags' house and demand her resignation on behalf of the people 🤣

ADF need to reject this request, or advise can only do non visible, behind the scenes logistic support

Australia on the slope from a - nanny state (pre covid), to a - police state (covid stage 1), to a - military state (covid stage 2) Martial Law around the corner

LOL now the Army in Australia is stamping on Aussie freedoms too. Utterly disgusting, sadly we lack un sold out journalist's here.

Down at precinct 49..

Hardest lockdown in Australia, lady's tripping!

This is terrible, Muriel.

Also can’t be used in a policing role

Only ministers of the crown can request ADF assistance
