Sydneysiders have been warned police will be cracking down even harder on those who choose to break COVID-19 rules as the state grapples with a record high number of infections.

NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller on Thursday said police were clamping down to "get us out of the lockdown sooner" and made a formal request to the Federal Government for assistance from the Australian Defence Force (ADF).

Earlier on Thursday, before making the ADF request, Commissioner Fuller said he wouldn't hesitate to call on defence if it was needed...

I’ve talked with some folks from Australia. The youth are all onboard and are actually angry at America and other countries with loose restrictions. They blame us for their situation. Meanwhile, their government is going full totalitarian, but it’s everyone else’s fault, right?

Perhaps they will take it seriously when people start seeing piles of burning bodies in the streets

That’ll make easier for the Chinese to invade while the military is distracted with BS.

Opposite here. Millennials trail Boomers in vaccinations by 30%. Less than half of people under 35 are vaccinated.

“I’ve talked with some folks from Australia. The youth are all onboard and are actually angry at America and other countries with loose restrictions. They blame us for their situation.”

No surprising given that Australia is know for its sheep.

I’m not sure what to say but 15-thousand came out onto the streets in Sydney last Saturday to protest.

I expected the cops to ratchet up towards the end of the week in anticipation of another protest this Saturday.

They are meeting my expectation.

NSW Police are a statewide force of 17-thousand plus officers.

I expect them to pull in a big chunk of their officers on Sydney to stamp out any possible protest event Saturday.

It’s not the Yankee Flu. It’s the Wuhan Flu, mate.

Mao’s red brigade. It’s unbelievable how these kids look at tyranny as “safety”. Using the phrase “for your safety” is still very effective for tyranny to thrive.

Republics require work and constant vigilance. Today’s youth just want Internet access and a guaranteed income. Of course I know this isn’t a blanket statement, but the youth who are lambasting freedom of choice are becoming louder.

*uck ‘em. It was OK when American soldiers held Japan at bay during WW II, though, wasn’t it? My uncle was one of those soldiers.

Are the Aussies not vaccinated? They would be better served by a massive vaccination effort. However, when the citizens have long ago been disarmed and only the government has guns the government can darn well do what it wants.

The idiot Aussies gleefully gave up their guns and this was the predictable outcome with an unaccountable police state on the cusp of dictatorship.

Now let them prepare for their Chinese masters to take over.

Yep.
The sad thing is most of the country is very conservative but they feel Sidney makes all the laws and they have no say in it.

This reminds me exactly of Khmer Rouge.
The youth turned in their parents for execution.

Only the elderly in Oz can get vaccinated, and unlike the US, they still have a vaccine shortage because they are only using the Pfizer and Astra jabs
