Defence personnel are preparing to be deployed to Victoria as the state's crisis escalates with most expected to be sent into aged care homes.
There are about 1,500 Australian Defence Force members on the ground in Melbourne who are door-knocking homes and helping enforce the lockdown with police. More support is expected to be deployed to the city and the rest of the state over the coming days. Defence Minister Linda Reynolds confirmed there are 500 more on standby.
12 soldiers for every aged care facility.
Good lesson to be learned, using security services is just waist of taxpayers money. Even before dis scandal about security, Wilson security was walking around I pin pointed problem to them, they told me to ring police. So why waist taxpayers money on worthless security services
Good on Victoria for this, still not sure why they did not accept the offer for ADF personel to guard the quarantined travellers earlier. But glad to see they have changed their mind on using them now. 👍
This is about China’s intentions for Victoria. Not just about the virus.
Too little too late
