has backed this up. Whether you call it the Red Rooster line, the latte line or the quinoa curtain, overall access to jobs and white-collar work is concentrated in the north and east of the city , with blue-collar jobs being focussed below the latte line in the south and west of the city.But the differences in the two parts of the city run deeper than that. The south and west of the city, where some of my own relatives live, is also where family and community come first.
“In Islam there is a whole bunch of stuff about not spreading disease,” Will Scates, resident of Bankstown says. “If you’re sick you don’t go to see people. There areOf course, people wouldn’t intentionally act in a way that would harm them or the people that they love, he says. “But it’s made out that we don’t care or we are too stupid to understand that.”
Scates is one of the many Muslims who live in the area. In places like Lakemba and Wiley Park in the Canterbury-Bankstown LGA over 50 per cent of the population is Muslim. For many of them the mosque is where the community comes together and where information is distributed and gathered, but since the latest COVID outbreak, mosques and community centres are closed.
Scates mentions how he’s not seen these liaison officers or indeed material being distributed. He also has more pertinent concerns about how the use of police force is giving out a confusing message.”You look outside and you see a show of force. And one second we’re told that following the orders is good for ourselves and our families, then next thing they’re saying that without force we won’t do so. Like we’re children or animals.
His point brings up the fact that many in the area have precarious job arrangements. As the “latte line” shows, a number of the residents in the area are considered essential workers – working in hospitality, supermarkets, and the like.

muminprogress Shit the media is just out of control in this country......just reporting fear and hysteria.....instead of being a voice for helping people and calming the situation
muminprogress Well maybe, if you did what the rest of Sydney was doing, they wouldn't be forced to play this hand. Instead, you congregate at shopping centres, parks and move house to house visiting people. If you would have just sucked it up, like the rest of us, it would have been over.
muminprogress SMH, why do you worship LNP? A complete disaster from a person who is just NOT a leader yet you endorse every failure like it was the plan all along. You absolutely love & idolise every tiny LNP facet. SMH, you would gladly do away with democracy if possible
muminprogress Don’t play the race card, just follow the rules like the rest of us.
muminprogress If the south west behaved like responsible adults they wouldn’t have such high crime rat…..I mean they wouldn’t be the new ground zero. There’s a problem in that part of Sydney and police need to deal with it.
muminprogress Exactly correct being from one myself I can understand the angst of especially those elderly people who have limited understanding of the English language who are just seeing but not understanding the actions of a government that they have lost trust in. Home detention & force NO
hpstorian muminprogress Maybe should be at the Westfield shopping centres instead moving people home instead?
muminprogress Clearly efforts to date aren’t working, the spread is increasing, the % of people circulating in the community while infected is increasing. If we are going to have a lockdown and people aren’t complying voluntarily there needs to be a level of enforcement. 1/2
muminprogress Oh come on..the people of south-west Sydney and anywhere must know what’s going on with Covid even if they don’t speak English...their communities communicate and they are not stupid. We are all one in this together. If everyone does the right thing
muminprogress New arrivals to Australia should show they care & respect the country that has welcomed them by obeying the laws & saving lives. Gratitude is shown by action.
muminprogress This pity party will become a super-spreading event in no time. Lockdown is inevitable until vaccines.

muminprogress Better that than being put on a ventilator
muminprogress Ya think?
muminprogress Interesting the same police response wasn’t put in place for Bondi Junction and Vaucluse?
muminprogress Stricter enforcement of the rules is about the only way to get compliance when people are being routinely careless. Maybe the mistake here was that policing was too lax in Sydney’s east the last couple of weeks, rather than that it’s too heavy in SW Sydney now.
muminprogress Sack the cop in the Rashays incident or have no public support
muminprogress Too bloody bad. Their narrow minded selfish actions denies freedoms to the rest of Australia.
muminprogress People intentionally act in ways that would harm their family all the time, and all over this city. They don't INTENTIONALLY harm their family, but they INTENTIONALLY acts in ways that DO harm their family. How you are most effective at stopping this happening is the question...
