 “Emergency Powers” in force in NSW after 2 stabbing incidents within the past week.

Once the State tastes extraordinary powers, the urge to keep going back for more is irresistible. https://i.nostr.build/KGx0W.jpg  
 I visited Bondi Beach in November and other parts of NSW and Queensland.  I remarked how we saw almost no police anywhere.  I hope things normalize after these two weeks.  Australia is such an impressive and civilized country. 
 There it is! How long until these powers are expanded and permanent? 
 Oooh so that's why they were so fast to call it a "terror attack"... I should have known 🙄
