Covid in Sydney: Military deployed to help enforce lockdown

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-58021718

Australia has deployed hundreds of soldiers to Sydney to help enforce a Covid lockdown.
A Delta outbreak which began in June has produced nearly 3,000 infections and led to nine deaths.
Australian Defence Force soldiers will undergo training on the weekend before beginning unarmed patrols on Monday.
But many have questioned whether the military intervention is necessary, calling it heavy-handed.
The lockdown - in place until at least 28 August - bars people from leaving their home except for essential exercise, shopping, caregiving and other reasons.
Despite five weeks of lockdown, infections in the nation's largest city continue to spread. Officials recorded 170 new cases on Friday.
Soldiers will join police in virus hotspots to ensure people are following the rules, which include a 10km (6.2 miles) travel limit.
State Police Minister David Elliott said it would help because a small minority of Sydneysiders thought "the rules didn't apply to them".
Information provided by health officials indicates the virus is mainly spreading through permitted movement.

The Australian Lawyers Alliance, a civil rights group, called the deployment a "concerning use" of the army in a liberal democracy.

Nine deaths...better send in the troops!

It's about control, we gave them a taste, now they have a hunger. That's why they are parading the Jan 6 event morning noon and night. To so us we better not ever step out of line again

I wonder how many infections and deaths they have at this time (it's winter there) during a normal flu season from flu?

Aww man.

The prime minister assured us that New South Wales was the gold standard.

LOL What's the difference if .mil or local leos arrested people for going to the gym or the church? They did it here and we sat by going hur dur respect the tyranny.  2A is great but no one here will use it, we're just slaves with toys that go boom.

This delta variant “might” be more contagious but it appears from the data to be less deadly.  Either that or they are now actually using several of the things they had suppressed before to actually save patients.

By that standard, they should issue the soldiers cutting torches and start disabling vehicles as they patrol. I'm sure more than 9 people die in a week in Sidney in vehicle crashes.

That's what I keep trying to tell my buddy....

I don't mean to sound like a doomer - but no matter how 2A some of our citizens are, if there is pushback, they're gonna turn our military against us and there's only so much you can do when a tank is being rolled at you.

Hence, why they are trying so hard to weed out all the "national terrorists", "bad think" or whatever out of our military ranks at this time...

So, we need to learn from what's going on in other places and plan/think accordingly...

Wow.  I used to be enamored with Australia and want to visit.  Not anymore.  Talk about control.  This stupid bug has provided the means for governmental control forever, because it isn’t going away.  This is bizarro world.  I once would have said this would  never happen here, but our gov is running over us as well.  Grandpa Biden should never be involved in this mess, it’s a medical issue.  That there tells you it’s about control.  When he says he is considering a mandate.  He works for us.  I hope someone reminds him of that.

Has nothing to do with COVID deaths...

This hoax is more about a lot of things - one of which is gaining control over the population and having an "excuse" to bring in the Brown Shirts.

It is starting to read like a movie script.

In submitting to China all western countries systematically become like Vinchy France. They just don't bother to tell the citizens they surrendered, at least not yet.

Using the military against it's own population instead of the aggressor(China) makes a good plot line to the story.

Tin foil not required.

If the numbers that I heard are correct, they only got about 1/3 of the guns and since Australia is an island, there are lots of places to land boats to bring in more guns.

P.S. I heard that they were back up to the number that they had before the confiscation started.

The politicians and the "military" have names and they have addresses.

Until they start coming home to a burned down structure and a missing family they will continue to expand their power, and the "military" will continue to do their bidding.
