Because many people are stupid, lazy, and helpless on so many levels. How so many people can be like that I don’t know but it’s quite sad.

The Australian Defence Force (ADF) has been called in to help police expand their lockdown operations in the Greater Sydney area as the New South Wales (NSW) state government moves to enforce stricter CCP virus lockdown rules.

NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller has said he wants a contingent of 300 defence force personnel to boost efforts over the coming days to enforce lockdown rules and other restrictions imposed by the government amid the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus Delta variant outbreak.

“The assistance of the ADF has been essential over the past 18 months—particularly during last year’s border operation, the ongoing hotel quarantine operation and the assistance provided with logistics support in the Police Operations Centre,” Fuller said in a media release on July 29.

“With an increase in enforcement activity over the coming week, I have now made a formal request to the Prime Minister for ADF personnel to assist with that operation,” Fuller said.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklean on Wednesday tightened restrictions for 2 million people in eight western Sydney local government areas, who are now not permitted to leave their council areas unless they are essential workers.

Police will also be able to shut down businesses that repeatedly breach public health orders.

Fuller said that “nothing is off the table” in terms of stronger compliance, saying officers will be going door to door looking for people in the wrong house.

This is one of the police operations that Fuller has requested ADF personnel to help carry out.

David Elliot, the NSW state minister for police and emergency services, welcomed the move. “As I have said previously, support from the Army will add another line of defence to the NSW Government’s crackdown on COVID-19 compliance,” Elliot said.

“The Army’s unique skills and training have combined many times with those of our police officers to serve the people of NSW in times of crisis, such as the floods and severe bushfires we’ve experienced in recent years.

“This will be a functional, effective and dynamic team to fight this pandemic,” he said.

This comes after Sydney residents are forced to face four more weeks of lockdown and restrictions, with the NSW government citing “low vaccination rates” as a key factor in its decision.

There were 239 new locally acquired COVID-19 cases in the 24 hours to 8 p.m. on July 28, which broke a domestic record.

Berejiklean said new case numbers were expected to go up in the coming days, given over 80 people were circulating in the community while infectious. “We can only assume that things are likely to get worse before they get better,” the premier said on July 29.

She previously said in a statement that higher vaccination rates and following the health orders are the only way to guarantee that the restrictions will ease up.

The latest police call for the army’s backing comes five days after anti-lockdown protests in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane that saw dozens of thousands of people taking to the streets in a largely peaceful fashion to express their opposition to the state governments’ measures.

Fuller labelled the Sydney protesters “anarchists” and said that police had received over 10,000 tip-offs about individuals involved in the protests, and that 57 people had been charged.

Can you say Gestapo?!! First thing Hitler did was disarm the citizens, then when he pulled his own trigger, the people had nothing to fight back with... Australia is going down the same road and the good ol' US of A ain't far behind if we let the DemoKrauts have their way.

Sky News Australia Suspended by YouTube

YouTube has temporarily suspended Sky News Australia from posting on its video platform, issuing a first strike to the popular conservative news channel over “COVID-19 misinformation,” according to a statement.

The tech giant said its decision to issue a strike was based on local and global health authority guidance, which Sky News Australia challenged are constantly “subject to change” alongside updates to guidance from the various authorities.

Sky News Australia added that the suspension was over “old videos” posted on its channel.

The strike means that Sky News Australia is suspended for a week from uploading content to its 1.85 million subscribers on its YouTube account.

“Specifically, we don’t allow content that denies the existence of COVID-19 or that encourages people to use hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin to treat or prevent the virus,” YouTube said in an early version of its statement that was sent to local media. “We do allow for videos that have sufficient countervailing context, which the violative videos did not provide.”

Sky News Australia said it “expressly rejects that any host has ever denied the existence of COVID-19 as was implied, and no such videos were ever published or removed.”

It added that the network acknowledges YouTube’s right to enforce its own policies and “looks forward to continuing to publish its popular news and analysis content back to its audience.”

“We support broad discussion and debate on a wide range of topics and perspectives which is vital to any democracy,” a spokesperson for the network added. “We take our commitment to meeting editorial and community expectations seriously.”

Local media reported the strike came into effect on July 29.

According to YouTube’s policies, three strikes within a 90 days period will see a channel banned permanently from the platform.

One of Sky News’ news reporters has consistently been the first to cover controversial updates on global efforts to track down the origins of COVID-19, some of which were initially dismissed as “conspiracy theories” by other outlets but have since gained wider recognition as possible explanations.

Sky News Australia investigative reporter Sharri Markson was among the first to report on existing footage of bat research from inside the Wuhan Institute of Virology, dating back to May 2017, while members of the World Health Organizations investigative team continued to deny that live bats had ever been housed at the facility.
