Authorities in Sydney, which is witnessing the highest number of Covid-19 cases since the pandemic began last year, will deploy troops to enforce the lockdown.
New South Wales (NSW) police commissioner Mick Fuller said that from Monday some 300 Australian army personnel will begin unarmed patrols to ensure people who have tested positive for the virus to ensure they are isolating.
“The sheer volume of increase over the last week (means) the level of compliance (enforcement) has gone from hundreds into thousands,” he said.

nobody is going to see the UNARMED part. instead, they will focus on the fact that the Australian military is roaming the streets. Ensuring infected people are isolating.

She obviously missed the part about the military not being armed
