So Sydney has gone full police state..
$11000 fine for being outside without a reasonable excuse
No gathering more than 2 people.. everything has ground to a half.. only supermarkets and a few other shops open.. and there is now restrictions on how much alcohol you can buy..These are not powers the government is going to let go of even long after this crisis ends
- Why won't there? I'm more shocked at the fine amount. What a joke. $50 would have been enough of a deterrent.inteliboy
- Australia is a fucked police state like that though. Our fines are insanely expensive.inteliboy
- It’s just how it is hereautoflavour
- No mate, relax, we have the same restrictions in Europe - sure, the fines are like $200 - but this is needed now.********
- We have to fill some basic forms to tell we're we going when going out. That's it. Everybody got it. No full beaches and ppl having fun. I mean...********
- Australia govt loves finding revenue in anything.sothere
- it's not the rules, it's the $11k fines that is absurd. but I guess makes a giant statement. I can only imagine what it'd be like if this happened back in USA.inteliboy
- "but this is needed now." REALLY? I bet you're a fun person to be aroundIanbolton
- no mate, I'm just sitting this one out so in case I have it, I don't go out spreading it and kill someone's mum by any chance!********
- then again we don't take shit from out Gov, not like Hungary that went full dictatorship rn :)) or you guys with your shitty Gov********
- then again and again, who expected anything better from a Gov that waited the big fires last summer and did nothing!********
- sure $11k (who the fuck picked this number, randomly?!) seem a lot, but ppl are stupid everywhere and don't stay indoors********
- How are the fines absurd? The whole point of this is to create a deterrent so that people don't — as grafician rightly points out — kill someone else's mum ...Continuity
- ... with this thing.
High fines and even prison time are just fine with me, if it teaches people to be considerate of others.Continuity - Not that I think about it, $11k must be like 2-3x times the normal wage in Aus?
We have $200 fines, which are about 40% of our normal wage here******** - Bavaria has leeway for fines of up to 25 000 €Continuity
- Nyc will offer $500 fines if people are in groups. But the idea of dining for JUST being out is not okay.monospaced
- in uk they reported it as 5k fine but actually that's for multiple repeat offenceskingsteven
- the rich are stll havin a good time then.neverscared
- not really ,never, that's not how it worksmonospaced
- I'm ok with that.pango
- Meanwhile 10% of cases in Australia have been traced back to the fucking cruise ship that offloaded in Sydney. Fine those twats.MrT
- russian city is jailing people who caused someone's death by spreading the virus to them.pango
- ^ Haha. Busy jails then as virus's spread through peopleIanbolton
