CV and mad panic behaviour

[Baggers]

People are assholes CC. I saw last night on TV Vic Pol officers trying to issue fines and the reply from the Miss Parasite was "under what law are you issuing the fine?" to which the the copper replied something like "under the Health Officers direction.." to which the silly mole replied something like "thats a directive not law". See under G2C law, at that point my policing career and freedom would have ended right there with the use of a baseball bat across the forehead. I always say, God Bless the Police Officers of this country for the patience and restraint they show when having to deal with imbeciles like that.

Exactly. It's one of the points I've been attempting to make... expecting the general public to understand the quarantine benefits and rules is for too many nigh on impossible. They will just not co-operate for a variety of reasons. And in a city of 4+ million people that is dynamite.

Oh, and I get your frustration but getting angry at the difficult ones and giving them one to go on with only plays right into their hands...

Then there are the media mixed messages/opinions... the bloke across the road from us turned up late last week trying to stay in his holiday home once the lockdown was in force... lasted one day before the constabulary sent him packing. I had a brief chat with him (good bloke, except for this episode... Aussie, 60s) and he started quoting Bolt and what he wrote as his excuse for coming to his holiday home... that was my cue to politely remember that Mrs Baggers needed some help!

With a population of only 4.9M (less than QLD), it wasn't exactly that hard a call to make.

But she did make the call and it wasn't popular. She had plenty of opposition but had the guts to enforce it...
