Around 300 Australian Defence Force (ADF) soldiers were deployed alongside police over the weekend in New South Wales to help police enforce strict new coronavirus lockdowns. Police helicopters have also been seen in the area, ordering residents to comply with lockdown restrictions.
Australian broadcaster ABC reported the soldiers arrived in the city of Sydney over the weekend and underwent training and would begin going door to door in Sydney by Monday to check that residents are complying with the lockdown orders.
The Daily Mail reported in Sydney’s western suburbs residents saw police helicopters hovering overhead while sounding sirens and broadcasting the message, “This is public health order —do not break rules —you will be found and fines issued.”
One video reposted by Australian journalist Avi Yemini shows a man exclaiming “what the f–k” before showing helicopters flying overhead and sounding warning messages to the public. The video was originally posted by TikTok user bankstown2200 over the weekend.
The arrival of ADF troops and other enforcement measures comes more than a month after the New South Wales (NSW) government ordered new coronavirus restrictions on June 23. On July 14, the NSW government extended the lockdown orders through July 30. The lockdowns in Sydney have again been extended until at least Aug. 28.
The lockdown rules include a mask mandate, evenfor some outdoor places. People may leave their homes to get groceries and medicine or to go to hospitals. Only one person per household is permitted to leave their home per day to get groceries. People are allowed to go to school or work only if they cannot work and study from home.

The downtrodden are going to welcome the Red Chinese invasion.

Remember, Australia was the Queen’s penal colony.
Should be interesting.

china invades australia, begins taking over east and west coastal swaths
australian forces unable to respond, too busy keeping people in their homes
The killing fields come soon after this stage of the Maoist takeover.
So wrong
“china invades australia”
And the people hardly notice a difference.
I bet the Aussies are sorry they so willingly gave up their guns.
I’m amazed (and terrified) at how easy it is for a nation to go insane.
Prayers for the Australian people.
Completely Orwellian. This is what happens when a nation allows their government to disarm them.
no they will notice
people will be a lot shorter and all look essentially the same
Australia deploys helicopters, hundreds of troops to keep people at home in strict new lockdowns in Sydney
I look at this headline and think of how it would apply to 1939 if only Nazis had helicopters.
GERMANY deploys helicopters, hundreds of troops to keep people at home in strict new lockdowns in KRAKOW
See!! Gun Control Works
Hitlerian. I look at this headline and think of the similarities to Nazis locking down Krakow.
Heard from a source on the ground in Australia (who is under it)...he summed it up as “it’s true, but pretty mild as ‘lockdowns’ go, and if you go thirty kilometers out of town NOTHING is locked down”.
Biden and Fauci must be salivating upon reading this.
Everytime I think USA gov worst someone comes along and shows I am wrong
