Canterbury Bankstown Mayor Khal Asfour said there was a perception of "two cities" emerging within Sydney
In this tale of two cities emerging within Sydney during the COVID-19 lockdown, one group of people feels targeted while the other gets to go to the beach. "They were both [breaching] the health order. One gets arrested when they're grieving. The other gets to sunbake. It doesn't make any sense."Mr Asfour said other examples of the "two cities" narrative included that some tradesmen from the 12 LGAs, where 80 per cent of the workforce are essential workers servicing the rest of Greater Sydney, were losing contracts because it was perceived they were infected with COVID-19.
Federal Liberal MP Dave Sharma, who represents the eastern suburbs electorate of Wentworth, said the lockdown had been especially tough on those living within the 12 LGAs but said he did not think an "underclass" was emerging in society.
Next time, it will be wise to hold all funerals on the beach.
The scam at work! Turning Australians against each other! Divide and rule! Turning them into snitchers!
never do vaccine The purpose of the vaccine is to destroy and rewrite human DNA, so humans will easily die and be controlled. Therefore, the Illuminati and the dark forces of the universe can enslave human beings on Earth forever. 坚决不打疫苗 疫苗的目的是破坏和改写人类的dna ，
As long as people still remember it at election time
GladysB nswpolice NSWHealth Many of us who are only child to their parents haven’t been able to see each other’s face despite mental trauma, breakdowns and depression, on other hand your hyposcrisy and injustice has been clearly exposed to highest level. Don’t we pay tax?
MinhKular I thought GladysSuperSpreader was the Premier for only Sydney, not all of NSW. Turns out she's Premier for only the wealthy suburbs of Sydney! Like ScottyTheGaslighter is the PM for only the top 10% wealthy & influential Australians! LNPDisgrace
Manly (17/9/21). It seems that face masks 😷 are not mandatory over there.
‘Underclass’ has always existed ‘Sharma’ is denying it coz he’s playing politics. All Australians should be angered by this Tale of 2 Cities in Sydney coz it shows favouritism to the privileged class which Berejiklian herself represents.

Fear mongering by ABC News got exposed this week as NSW never had more than 1599 cases per 24hrs yet ABC predicted 2000 cases a day by today. STOP forecasting DOOM.
I really do not know why we need this comparison, it is unhelpful, the reality we are different state with different geography and different demography dispersed across the state and yes we can have longer winter days and there is more to it.
Typical 1 rule for the rich and 1 rule for the rest of us Why? That's easy The rich 'donate' when it's time to vote so they're left to their own devices Wouldn't want that 'yummy money' to stop coming in or the votes 'swinging the other way' would we?
Arresting people at a funeral is the lowest act.
Keep stirring
Divide and be conquered 😎
Australian people are losing their humanity.
PMforEasternSydney is busy
GladysBerejiklian why was nothing done about the clear covid breaches on the beaches? Too political in liberal electorates?
Media has a lot to answer for. Imagine how the day at the beach would have been reported if these were for example Black Lives Matter protestors, anti lockdown protestors or a crowd of young men from south western Sydney. Imagine Brad Hazzard’s reaction at his 11am briefing.
QandA stokes division over restrictions the ABC called for. There fixed it for you
It's unfair and discriminatory bcos we can't even go to the park as a family. I saw a police officer move on a mother who was there with her 3 children, so we left as well. So when I see pics of large groups of ppl sunbaking on a beach with no masks it really makes me mad 😡
Its hard to believe but its so true.
Remember at the election. Vote these LNP dogs out.
Congratulations ABC. You’ve finally worked out that Sydney is not just one city. You’d think that you would have got this from the strategic plan. I lived in Sydney in the north-west for 20 years and went to Mona Vale beach once.
Postcode discrimination
If the great outdoors is one of the safest places to be, then realistically we should all be able to access it. Surely ppl lucky enough to live near a beach have to travel there in a COVID safe way. All else equal, what diff if the distance to travel there is 5kms or 50kms?
Way to milk the cash cow of social division, further eroding society
I am unclear how you can be sitting on a beach in groups of more than 2 people, without masks and be in accordance with the rules? When are the cops going to do their jobs?
It’s unfair but…It’s a sunny weekend, you’ve been locked up for 3 cold months and you live in an LGA not particularly effected, near coast. What do you do?
You suppose to wear mask 😷 outside? Assume it’s now even worst with picnics 🧺 allowed
Sunbaking reinforces Glady's freedom future, when Funerals don't.
Close all beaches
Discrimination exists in every either way in this country including visa processing time
Hypocrisy, Gladys style.
What do you expect from the White Australia policy in all but name? That beach is full of European backpackers and not non-Europeans as at the funeral!
Nothing but a power trip by NSW police
TheBlueFlu vs TheWesternPlague

Geez, this story is getting old. I didn’t hear any one of these mayors speaking out against the Northern Beaches being locked down last Christmas period. They can shut up already.
Google: Why Does No One Ever Talk About Sweden Anymore?
The LNP already discriminate based on wealth and colour. Why do we think they would treat this any different.

Doctor visits three aged care homes in Sydney while infectious with COVID-19A doctor has visited three aged care homes in Sydney&x27;s west while potentially infectious with COVID-19 - including one facility that suffered 19 fatalities during NSW&x27;s first wave. and there we have it. Fully Vaccinated means JACK SHIT when infecting others!!! I am backwards in being near fully or partially vaccinated people as I know they are infectious while they do not understand this. If there was anyone that got vaxxed and thought it would stop them from getting sick or transmitting it, you are a goof. And no study backs up mask use. Vax doesn't equal 100% protection. The story is unravelling, here's hoping the sheep wake up...
