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.

Sounds like they still are…
And cell phones so that they can locate just about anyone.
If the Nazis had today's technology, almost no Jews would have escaped the Holocaust.
Just a hint, Australians; If those helicopters hover low enough, you can take them down without firearms. Try to do it before the ground troops get there though.
Liberal Government dream come true
The Red Chinese are smarter than you — they will join those in charge (not the downtrodden).
China bypasses Australia to let it self-destruct. You make it too complicated.
Looks like they already have.
Even if they had not turned in their guns, the outcome would have been like it is in the US and the vote theft.
No difference.
The US is even more insane if they have a lockdown considering they have open borders(which Australia does not have).
Indeed, it would be.
“Around 300 Australian Defence Force (ADF) soldiers were deployed...”
That’s lunch for a platoon of Marines. What about dessert?
Two "Thumbs Up".
It is quite shocking.
No one ever realized how easy it could be.
Governments so big, so powerful turning on their own citizens.
No, those in power have gone stark raving mad. Government is NOT the friend of the people. That’s why the Founding Fathers gave us the 2nd Amendment. They gave us the means to protect ourselves against them. Some of these early American politicians were actually well meaning people who had our welfare in mind. Of course, all that has changed,
