'Sadistic' COVID-19 restrictions in Sydney's west made residents 'feel like criminals'

Australian Defence Force personnel and NSW Police are seen being deployed from Fairfield Police StationPeople in west and southwest Sydney have been traumatised and made to feel like criminals in their own homes, an inquiry into the state government's handling of the pandemic has heard.

"We have been made to feel like criminals in our own homes," Arab Council of Australia chief executive Randa Kattan said."That's what happens when you find yourself flanked by police as you leave the 7-Eleven store.The disparity in lockdown approaches is embodied by the curfew placed on the hotspot areas, the group said.

Amar Singh, President of Turbans 4 Australia, told the inquiry seeing military and police patrol the streets had been extremely triggering."Bringing in those things mentally made a very big dent, a scar, on the average person living in southwest and west Sydney."Ms Kattan said the curfew broke a community "already on their knees" with the heavy lockdown."It was just another message that you don't matter.

I live in Blacktown LGA. Best way out is to stop pointing the finger and worry about our own back yard. The case numbers tell a pretty simple story.

Meanwhile in Manly (17/9/21)

If only they’d been tough on Bondi.

I'm from those parts, I'm happy they where around to many idiots who continually flaunted the restrictions. If you feel like a criminal maybe you are. If you've truely escaped war zones me el Salvador and feel like it's the same your a Muppet. I didn't 👀 assault weapons in hand.

It’s looks like it’s a tale of two cities over there. I guess at least in metro Melbourne, the whole city was locked down. So the richer areas faced the same restrictions as the poorer areas. And within the hotspot areas ppl were annoyed with their own neighbourhood rule breakers

Sure !!

And sand kicked in their faces by images of Eastern suburbs enjoying torpor in the sun

They must follow medical advice for their safety .

If we all do not accept living with the virus, we will have to live with a social manifestation worse than the virus

It’s sad. Police have lost so much support from the Australian public as whole, but not because of “the circumstances”, but because of all the videos circulating showing insidious behaviour these past 2yrs. 1 bad action by 1 policemen is 1 bad action by all policemen.

Badluck

Who's going to believe this shit? Every Aussie knows the 12 LGA'S with the most amount of cases were put into the harshest restrictions. It's disgusting that so many broke the rules causing so many deaths. NSW health were trying to save your lives. 🤔

If they are in their own homes like they should be then they have nothing to fear. If they are out and about when they shouldn't be, then they are criminals. Their behavior potentially threatens the lives of others.

DangerousGladys needs to be locked down herself [preferably behind bars] for his mishandling of the virus since the Ruby Princess. On her own, she has damaged Australia quite extensively. COVID19Aus

Sadistic is a synonym for Australia.

No different from here in Melbourne to the way Andrews Government has treated us.

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...
