Video sucks though, it said interview when it was just a rant and had no interview. China sucks how they disappear people, but not many cared about that last year because they were too eager to do business with china or buy from china regardless of their consistantly terrible human rights record. Everyone's tech is made in china, zf/lemforder moved production to china, most of what bunnings stock is made in china. |

So yesterday was our last day of work until a week from Monday with Easter and RDO's .
Our canteen was shut so again we decided to again head into town (about two minutes away) to our bakery at lunch time to get one of Evelyn's scrumptious pasties for lunch . Evelyn is our local Filipino baker...she is amazing and really struggling with downturn of biz as are many other businesses all over Oz no doubt . A lot of us school staff have decided to buy our lunch as much as possible in town . Anyhow.. Cops all over the place . The local constabulary were out in force and at least two out of towners I saw also as they were parked near the Post Office .. St Marys is a necessary junction that people must pass through to head to the upper East Coast either via St. Marys Pass or Elephant Pass so Tasmania Police were ready for many trying to sneak through to shacks and holiday homes earlier than usual . There was an old bloke in the bakery telling Evelyn that he'd been pulled over about a half hour before . He said they were really nice to deal with. Another stop spot for traffic was Avoca in our region for the same reasons . The old bloke mentioned the cop said that when they weren't satisfied with an explanation , particularly with vehicles towing trailers , boats etc that look a bit suss it was automatic to turn them around and head them back from where they came . Later in the arvo one of the teachers mentioned she was told the same thing . Channel 7 News Tasmania last night lead story was Tasmania Police blitz on people trying to get to shacks etc and visits to occupied shacks was 'very likely' by the long arm of the law . I guess it'll be like this everywhere . So be it . Last edited by roddy1960; 10-04-2020 at 08:01 AM. |

I was just wondering if someone much cleverer than me (and there's plenty) will do a spoof of this ..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r73p95I-eE if in many weeks time we're still in a major travel movement lockdown .
I reckon a dub relating to coronavirus might be quite funny . |

Living at the base of the Dandenongs my home is on elevated land so I can see much of the SE of Melbourne. I have noticed this last week that the air quality is so much cleaner as the buildings in the CBD appear on the horizon almost in HD.

People seem to be driving a lot slower and more cautiously on the roads than usual. Maybe because there is no where to go, the traffic light, and no one is in a rush anymore? I think a lot of this behaviour has to do with people worried about getting pulled over by the cops, and having to justify where they are going, etc, so drive slow so as not to draw attention to themselves. Driving in Melbourne at the moment, is like going back in a time warp, to how the roads and traffic used to be some 30 years ago. |

Would be nice to see the Hume Hwy closed to non essential traffic at say Wallan.

Victoria Police strikes again - fining someone $1600 for washing their car at 1AM when he was the only person at the place.
Quote:
Note that they're only reviewing incidents where there is video footage and social media involvement, this shouldn't be happening in the first place - this is EXACTLY why there should be huge backlash against any legislation that infringes on peoples movements, Police are human and open to human nature like the rest of us, of course they'll have a few members start abusing powers they're given. There is no accountability for what Victoria Police is doing, worst case scenario is that the fine gets reviewed, they should start handing out warnings for ridiculous abuses of these powers, if they want to abuse their powers then suspend them with no pay. Its easy to get legislation passed but its very difficult to repeal. If the fine was $100 it probably wouldn't be causing such an issue and people wouldn't contest it so much, they can work with the community or they can continue being power hungry monkeys and then deal with social unrest. They should keep this in mind next time they go to the media and start whinging about their pay deal. Last edited by Franco Cozzo; 10-04-2020 at 03:12 PM. |

My point exactly. If they don't keep the people onside as soon as their backs are turned people will deliberately disobey to spite them. The messaging has been incredibly unclear, maybe deliberately so. It took ages to get a ruling up here in qld that motorcyclists can't go for a ride, which is stupid. We are antisocial people at the best of times, no one wants to go near us. I've not heard of a single case of motorcyclist to human transmission... People aren't allowed to go for a dive in their cars. Again zero chance of transmission. I'm still trying to find out if we are allowed to buy and sell on gumtree under the "2 people allowed to visit your house" rule or if we'll get pinged $1300 for selling a flipping lawn mower. But I guess we can't expect more from our politicians and cops, afterall we all know what they are like, and they haven't lifted their game one millimetre for this... |

Nice to see all the beaches packed in Perth today. Beautiful weather, I took my drone and got some great footage. No sharks to be seen. Tomorrow is going to be even hotter. Let's see if McGowan closes the beaches.
