Four men stopped by police at 2:00am told officers they were out and about for 'exercise'. Hours later the NSW Government announced curfews for residents of Sydney's 12 local government areas of concern.

Commissioner Fuller said authorities had been "really positive" that stronger police enforcement would work. However 3,500 tickets had been issued since the operation began and it was clear more needed to be done.

"In hindsight, do I wish that I raised [a] curfew [on] day one [of the Delta outbreak], yeah probably.Ms Berejiklian said evidence on the efficacy of curfews was "mixed".Ms Berejiklian said other jurisdictions had introduced lockdows but had still seen cases grow under the Delta variant.

4 men at 2am”exercising”🤔

Nothing wrong with not been able to sleep. I wake midnight or 2 and go for a skate cause I did not do any exercise that day. Now, if they do not have a big backyard they will what?

Nothing good happens if you’re out at 2:00 AM.

You can’t exercise without the right “gear”. Everybody knows that right…

So let me get this straight, some people were exercising outside of an 'LGA of concern' at night, and they put a curfew on the LGAs of concern? I can kiss my exercise goodbye, I'm a shift worker. Now it's obvious that Gulag Gladys wants Western Sydney to suffer.

More info needed.... maybe they work dog-watch

It should be for all or none.

How is keeping everyone inside at night supposed to do anything? All this does is tighten the governments grip on power.

So what sort of 'exercise' did these 4 men from out of the area do at 2am? Please clarify.

Haha “exercise”

WHAT

If you think our freedom is being curtailed look to Afghanistan and thank your blessings we’re here, able to criticise Governments, able to express opinions, able to look forward to our freedoms being restored. In the meantime suck it up and do your best to keep the virus at bay.

I thought the headline was satire for a moment

Will kill the beats😎

That’s exercising now is it.

How many of these fines ever get paid?

Why are NSW peeps making such a drama about a curfew You had one for years in Sydney after coward punch incidents🤔🤔

i think they were really working there is a lot of people that need to work at 2am while every one is asleep.

So what the virus doesn't work by time

This is dumb and hurts peoples mental health, we have been flooded with calls from distressed aussies because of this type of behaviour. We actually help the community unlike the media👍 You can’t enforce the virus away

Of course blame the public for this 💩 show! The reason we’re at week 8 and heading into a “real strict” lockdown is because Gladys and pmfornsw thought their “gold standard” was…well…anyway we know how that went.

Thank goodness the police fined These men, or else they may have spread COVID-19 to owls.

‘curfew’ Gladys is inconsistent and is steering 🦠 a rudderless 🦠 leaky boat that’ll sink Australia & NZ with all the ‘seeding’ 🦠 that emanating from 🦠 NSW

'exercising'.....it's called a beat

Girls got paid What’s the problem?

They should pretend that covid is a poor person and then they'd actively do something to destroy it.

'Ey yo stay home except for essential shopping and excersise and work' blokes do extra safe by waiting til stupid oclock hOw DArE yOu ObEy Us!!!!!! PS - in Tassie before covid times, it was common to be stopped by cops and interrogated at 2am for using 24/7 stores like Kmart

Gladys’s “BIG” mistake – She assumes we are smart & give a shit!!! Proof she is wrong? – We actually elected Scotty from Marketing!!!!

So millions of people are put under curfew because of one incident? This is democratic, reasonable law-making? More like hysterical, irrational out of control government and policing.
