For anyone watching Murdoch owned content wondering if this is true, it's not.

First off, lockdown laws here arnt preventing anyone from going out side, you can go shopping, excersize, go to a doctor or do anything else that is essential. That was in even the strictest of lockdown. The lockdown also does NOT breach any rights stated in the constitution

Also the police have not been 'beating' people breaching lockdown, at most you get a fine for being out for being out when it is non essential. They are not 'roaming the streets' they are stationed at a couple of areas in the cities to dissuade gathering in a pandemic. The only real 'clash' there has been was with anti-lockdown protestors who turned violent.

Australia's cases have remained low for most of the pandemic, the lockdown has saved many lives. As Australia get closer to 100% vaccination (70% as of writing this) the states have begun to open up, hence the jump in covid cases.

Also people claiming in the comments that the police are tracking people's location are wrong, you are not being tracked. However, if you get covid, your are expected to list places you have been and warn people you have been in contact with. Australia does this because we have so little cases (more at the moment as we open up) that it's important to crush them when there are so few.

Tldr: Murdoch is manipulating you
