freedom freedom jabs jabs. C’mon greater Sydney. Rah rah rah. Wtf is wrong with her.
nothing about soldiers. Not one word. Bodes well for chain of command.
Chant too. Sounds like we have agreed to deliver all the same messages today. Nothing on the numbers. Nothing on exposure sites. Nothing on the army. How to shop tho.
Warboys claims it was he who “sought the assistance” of the ADF. This morning the defence minister said it was the Premier who made the request of Defence. Fuller said it was Fuller and that he asked the prime minister. Cool cool cool.
it is not compulsory for deployed military to be vaccinated, says Worboys.
subtext here is that pleece have finally started seriously monitoring social media for muppets organising another super spreader event.
in terms of boots you could expect to see two blues and the military in the shire, says Worboys.
the soldiers will be door knocking with police from Monday and people not home will be prosecuted, Worboys says. So total theatre. Nothing more. Why would two cops need a soldier to knock on a door.
Chant is again instructing us civilians on how to do our shopping.
asked about compulsory sign in, Hazzard says most supermarkets are doing the right thing. Requests that a staff member be placed out front to “ask nicely” that people to sign in. Meanwhile police can fine shoppers who have not checked in.
the others were quite vague but Hazzard says outright that another super spreader event is being organised.
now Berejiklian is saying it outright too. Do not go to the protest activity tomorrow, she says.
Berejiklian brushes off concern that former refugees might be traumatised by the ADF presence. An outfit whose summary executions made US Marines uncomfortable.
the irony is NSW will have more freedom than any other state, says Berejiklian. Irony. Far out. She has nfi where most of us are at.
Q: aren’t you taking doses away from regional NSW?
A: it’s only 20,000 doses. In the scheme of things it is very small. It is so year 12 students can go to school.
the year 12 thing reminds me of Gillard on the SPP. Male politicians weaponise their parent status against childless women.
Q: how dangerous is it for police and soldiers going to these houses if they are not vaccinated?
Chant: they do not enter the house.
Me: tell your friends. This is likely to mean the military are not authorised to enter the house. Or do anything, really. Strictly theatre.
Q: Isn’t it dangerous?
Lord plz. Won’t somebody think of the soldiers and cops doing this dangerous work of [checks notes] knocking on doors.
a young man left his house and went to a building site and that is why we need law enforcement supported by defence, NSW Police Commissioner Fuller tells media.
Worboys says he made the call, to the ADF. Fuller says he made the call, to the PM. Dutton says Berejiklian made the call, to Defence.
Berejiklian did not mention the fact she has been steamrolled by males on militarising public health and gave a stump speech to civilians.

good morning from unceded Darug lands☀️today on #Insiders are ABC Indigenous Affairs editor Bridget Brennan, ABC western Sydney reporter Kathleen Calderwood, 9fax international editor Peter Hartcher and podcaster Mark Kenny.
The interview is with NSW health minister Brad Hazzard.
opening spiel is Sydney struggles, QLD snap lockdowns, and the twelveteenth announcement that political “leaders” have a plan. #Insiders
montage is Premiers plus the PM on various lockdowns and the latest iteration of Morrison’s lockdown-vaccine-vaccine-lockdown blame-shifting rhetoric. Leaders bickering over credit for the federal disaster payment. Soundtrack is the Police (King of Pain) #Insiders
he is making it up as he goes along because he has not got an answer to the question because it is based on an announcement, not an actual public health policy.
ADF are not sworn law enforcement officers in NSW. They are under the command of Mick Fuller. The ADF did many tasks in Vittoria last year. He is “very pleased that the request has finally been made of the NSW government”.
Police, government, army, what’s the difference right.
ABC radio reporting that NSW police have requested ADF onto the streets of Sydney. The police.
it was Morrison mate Fuller of course. The actual claim is that NSW Police Commissioner made a “formal request” for ADF support. On whose authority this formality was created they do not say.
there it is. Fuller, who is not the executive head of NSW - Elliot is his boss and Berejiklian is his boss - called Morrison, who is not the executive head of the ADF - the GG is their boss.
good morning from unceded Darug lands☀️today on #Insiders are Guardian Aust executive zeditor Lenore Taylor, ABC politics editor Andrew Probyn and murdoch politics editor James Campbell. The interview is with shadow minister for government services and NDIS Bill Shorten.
opening spiel is irresponsible conflict journalism. NSW asks for Pfizer supplies, other states refuse. This is not the story, David. #Insiders
the montage is politicians saying get vaccinated spliced with - wait for it - Kyle starfish Sandilands singing get vaccinated. #Insiders
god this makes me so angry. She chose not to put harsher restrictions on the eastern suburbs LGAs a month ago for party political reasons. And as for Morrison, Coorey, all the utterly non-essential securely-employed snobs and bogans in their big houses who backed her up.
delta was delta a month ago. Sydney was Sydney a month ago. Insecurely employed essential workers living in western Sydney were insecurely employed essential workers living in western Sydney a month ago. Fuck Berejiklian fuck Morrison fuck their media cheer squad fuck them all.
a Liberal Party politician presiding over the biggest fuckup in the country is currently lecturing voters on “symbolic gestures of announcements”.
good morning from unceded Darug lands☀️today on #Insiders are Guardian chief politics corro Sarah Martin, ABC radio RN Breakfast host Fran Kelly and 9fax (AFR) government corro Phil Coorey.
The interview is with formerly disgraced former Deputy PM Barnaby Joyce.
opening spiel: three weeks into the Sydney lockdown and rules are tightened; Victorians forced to stay home too. #Insiders
18 months in, nearly half the population is locked down, says Speers. Berejiklian is described as changing from “lockdown skeptic” to harshest rules. This “harshest” idea is the Speers theme this weekend. #Insiders
