Problem with Wilberforce NSW is one road to cross the Hawkesbury river unless you head back to Nth Richmond and face the same problem, that being an up to an hour to cross bridge. Traffic was the killer for us out in that area and sold. In saying that a great area out of Sydney

Problem is it's still near Sydney.

Why china is so good at manufacturing.. in Aussie, the unions rules would have them making 500 a day with mandatory 4 hour breaks and picnic days weekly

Whittlesea man fined for 10th time amid latest COVID-19 fines
By Rachael Dexter

The daily data on fines given out to Victorians caught breaching the Chief Health Officer's directions has just landed and there are some, ahem, interesting examples in the list - including someone who has copped their 10th fine in a row.

A police spokesman said the repeat offender is a Whittlesea man who told officers he was in the suburb of Richmond to visit work colleagues, but had no evidence to prove it.

Included in the list was a man who said he had a birth condition that "makes him resistant to coronavirus", according to police.

He was nicked with another man, both not wearing masks, while buying cigarettes in South Melbourne after curfew. Other examples include:

- A man in the Brimbank area who was out after 8pm. When he was asked why he was out, he claimed he was researching where to buy cheaper groceries in the area.

- Eight people who don't live together who were found in a one-bedroom apartment on Flinders Street in Melbourne CBD.

Not in Victoria at that rate.

Every state has its dummies.... but you guys seem to have above the daily average.

10 x 1600 fines... He isnt going to learn that way...

The other one that will bring us down is coffee shops. People always queuing for a coffee and then loitering around drinking and chatting with people they "bumped into"

I think "entitled" is probably the bigger issue.

I tell ya what.... if I was in Vic and thought I could get myself out to Qld, I'd of done it too.

Not saying its right, wrong or otherwise, but i'd be out if I could find a loophole.

More like those that deliberately break the rules, he seems to have abided by them.

Amazing how a bit of cash will go a long way.
Meanwhile, all his employees are still stuck down here living under restrictions. Great leadership style.....not!

Apparently you die after about 2 weeks of being infected, so there will be a bit of a lag.

He may well be a privaledged douchebag, but his actions appear to have been above board and therefore should have minimal risk to others, people who deliberately flout the law like Protesters, Civil libertarians etc in comparison are a risk to others.

Yeah, his timing was impeccable!! Still, he won't be too popular amongst the masses.
And as for those civil librarians.......

[Bird]

I find it amazing that all those that get special treatment are the well off... **** everyone else.. no preferential treatment..

as for Fox, I dont really many people in his position that would have driven a truck from melb- cairns-bne...


local tradie got the 20k fine and one for his side kick this week returning from a job..
has a permit and his business is clearing out closed down business' - not essential. 4th time he'd been pulled over and asked for his permit, 3 times cops saw permit 'thanks have a nice day', 4th one did.
that would hurt a small business..

For all the fellow Victorian's I hope you are well. I have had a few calls from members as well as msg's.  Thanks to those that have reached out. Its times like this we need that little extra tap on the shoulder.

For me it has only hit this last week with reduced hours at work due to the limited staff allowed on site. I am lucky I still have a job and hopefully the stage 4 is only 6 weeks long.

Keep safe to all members and especially those in the Greater Melbourne. Reach out if needed, a good chat is always worthwhile

We had been reduced to 30hrs a week, and on jobkeeper. Now that busy, still on jobkeeper, but back to 38hrs a week.

I feel sorry for those in hospitality and tourism, especially Victoria, because they're not going to recover for a long time, some if at all.

We have rellos from Gisborne we go away with a couple of times a year....overseas and locally ( Gold Coast, Hamilton Island, Port Douglas ), but that won't be happening for another year I'm thinking ? Certainly not overseas !!

We just heard that the state of emergency has been extended untill Sept 13    We are absolutely dreading letting our 11 y/o grandson (who is on the spectrum and living with us) know about this, he's having enough problems handling the current restrictions and another 2 or 3 weeks is mentally not going to be good for him   

[Kangaron]

Stage 4 ends on 13th Sept.
State of Emergency gives the police extra powers to enforce movements etc.
Nothing has changed.
