in qld back in the joh days i remember ppl being arrested for illegal gatherings. Actually it was called "conspiracy". If more than 2 ppl stopped to talk in the street it was considered a conspiracy.

Yeah BS. How many "more than 2"?

20? 40? 50?

I am becoming increasingly concerned that this nation is losing its perspective in the face of the Coronavirus. The PM has unleashed an army of jealous wowsers, curtain twitchers and hall monitors to dictate how their neighbours live. We are banned from heading out and being seen to have fun or do something frivolous. Yet we are literally forced to go out and engage in high risk activities so long as it is our least favourite thing to do.

I wonder why we need fun police, when people are being asked to distance themselves from others, not congregate in large areas to reduce the spread of this, and then we have scenes like people at the beach , wandering around COmmonwealth Park in Canberra in huge numbers (such as I saw on Sunday), panic buying of toilet paper, people wearing masks and gloves (including the dhead I saw on Saturday wearing goggles, gloves with a mask around his neck).

You people can't be trusted to just obey simple requests, so of course we need fun police.

OK.... A law is meaningless is it is not enforced or enforceable... Same goes for instructions.

The problem is they will need to keep something in place. Just cause the number of cases goes down doesn't mean its completely over.

Oh I know....it's going to be interesting times.

That's how we get a heavily policed society, cashless and just in time for 5g.
It is also why they don't want people living out in the bush. Can't monitor them.
Screw big brother.
