Residents of Sydney and its home state of New South Wales will now face fines of up to $3,700 for violating coronavirus stay-at-home orders, which were extended Saturday following a record number of daily COVID-19 infections in the area.
New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian said at a news conference that fines for stay-at-home order breaches had been increased from 1,000 Australian dollars, about $737, to $5,000 Australian dollars, or $3,700, according to Reuters.
While local authorities had been considering easing some restrictions by the time Sydney’s nine-week lockdown was scheduled to end Aug. 28, limits on activities are likely to continue, with Berejiklian saying Saturday that “September and October are going to be very difficult.”
“This is literally a war, and we’ve known we’ve been in a war for some time, but never to this extent,” she added, according to Reuters.
On Saturday, New South Wales recorded 466 newly confirmed COVID-19 cases, outpacing the previous record of 390 set just the day before, Reuters reported.
Four new coronavirus-related deaths were also reported Saturday, bringing the state total in the recent coronavirus surge to 42.
“We have to accept that this is the worst situation New South Wales has been in since day one,” Berejiklian told reporters. “And it’s also regrettably, because of that, the worst situation Australia’s been in.”
Reuters reported that a new $2,210 fine ($3,000 Australian dollars) would be imposed on individuals entering rural areas of the state without an official permit, with stay-at-home orders now issued for regions that were not previously included in lockdown orders.

I’m embarrassed at the entire human race, they deserve to be enslaved.

Gosh, I hope the 4 old people in Sydney Australia that have COVID Delta survive this horrible 99.7% survivable plague. But if the lockdown of 500,000 people and businesses saves just 1 life…. (/s)
Once mass media control is consolidated and censorship is enforced, the elites can tell the most blatant lies and get away with it...
Yep...and enslaved by people like this (New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian)
I thought Australians were supposed to be tough, unruly and generally contemptuous of “authority.” What happened?
More than 42 people are killed on the highways, but highways are not shut down. This is about control, and the sheep are bending over and asking for another one.
They have been well trained. When the next crisis comes, they will not resist at all.

It’s not working. But they keep doing it. The classic definition of insanity.
All Aussies have to do is to get out of their houses in Sydney and march to downtown and ask the police to arrest them. Then all of this would end. But they are not doing this. So they deserve to be locked down by their government.
If you’re a premier, state/government politician or worker, you’re paid whether you go to work or stay home.
What if you’re a shop owner, street vendor or factory worker? They guy at the Maccas counter? The guy selling stubbies and chook sangers at the servo? The taxi or the delivery driver? The mail room clerk? The office receptionist? Janitors and rubbish bin collectors?
Who pays your wages?
Please check my tagline re places not to live.
Australia has been #1 for months.
Also, the 5 eyes intel collection/monitoring/NSA includes Australia, the UK, Canada and New Zealand. All of them are in bed with the ChiComs.
It might be time to align with Japan, Taiwan, India, Vet Nam and maybe the Philippines and forget these English Speaking Pro ChiCom countries.
Well, the Aussies now join us on the list of completely F’d up countries. Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia are looking better every day.
Seems the NSW premier has a hard-on for control.
PING!
Semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns and rifles were banned; a tax-funded firearm buyback and amnesties saw over 700 000 guns surrendered from an adult population of about 12 million.
Yep!
None of this makes sense for the few cases they have of covid. And you are quite right, they can stop this if the entire country marches out at the same time and says we are done with this. Make the army go Tienanmen Square on them.
But this case just sets off alarm bells with me for some reason. The population is being tested some way. Look for Canada or some EU countries to do the same thing soon.
“Once mass media control is consolidated and censorship is enforced, the elites can tell the most blatant lies and get away with it...”
The tv/radio broadcasters in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are controlled by their national governments.
The newspapers are still reasonably free.
It is interesting that their newspapers often focus on what is happening in America.
Often these Brit owned/controlled news papers are the only agencies telling us what our elites are doing to us or trying to do to us.
“I thought Australians were supposed to be tough, unruly and generally contemptuous of “authority.” What happened?”
Two World Wars, then Korea, Viet Nam and the middle east B$ killed or maimed a lot of their tough and unruly guys.
