A rejig of the single bubble, banning trips to beach houses and a heavier ADF presence are among "big changes" to Greater Sydney's lockdown, with NSW Police given 48 hours to redraft public health orders and get the state back on track. Police Minister David Elliott and Police Commissioner Mick Fuller briefed the NSW crisis cabinet this afternoon, with Minister Elliott and Health Minister Brad Hazzard involved in a “fiery” discussion. 

During the meeting it was decided that the NSW police force and their legal team “will go away and look at redrafting our public health orders”, Nine News and The Daily Telegraph report. According to Nine, “police simply believe that, as it stands right now, the public health order is next to impossible to enforce”. 

Among the changes, people who are going to their second residences (like a beach house) will be banned from doing so, and there’ll be a “big rethink” regarding the single bubble. While it won’t be canned, police are expected to “tweak it” to make it easier to check that people are only coming into contact with their one nominated person. The NSW Government is also expected to request more ADF troops to come in and police these orders.
