so the prime minister, scott morrison, has come under criticism for not rolling out the vaccine program. i mean quite frankly, there wasn't and didn't seem to be the urgency in australia that there was in other countries like the united states, the united kingdom, places in europe because they needed the vaccine to try and keep the numbers down. for example, the capital, cambra, that has now gone into a seven day lockdown a couple of days ago. they have their first cases in a year. so for many people in australia, this is coming as somewhat of a shock. it is something that they are not really used to. as you say, they will be seeing troops on the street. there's been some 500 troops that have been helping police to enforce these restrictions in the greater seoul area. an additional 200 will be deployed on monday to make sure people are sticking to the rules. and they're also increasing the fines for noncompliance, which will be about $3,600 if you are found to be abusing the system and to be doing something you shouldn't be. michael. >> all right. paula hancocks in seoul, south korea. a
