The cabinet document for industries allowed to operate has leaked. Essentially everything is closed except for food and medical supplies, construction on homes that’s already underway, and some retail including pharmacies, post offices and petrol stations. Bakeries, butchers and fruit shops will all close.
Most manufacturing that’s not food, medical supplies or petroleum is also banned.

Announcement at 3:15

Fuuuuck

Way to force people to use supermarkets for food. Last time they were limiting meat purchases. What could possibly go wrong.

The butchers and bakers around here have been continuing to enforce social distancing, unlike the supermarkets, so I hope we don't adopt the Victorian model if we have to go to level 4.

Yeah the butcher and baker thing didnt eventuate and Andrews stated that it wouldn't happen in yesterdays announcement.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was added so they could "leak" the list and give themselves some plausable deniability so they didnt end up with ten thousand lobbyists crawling up thier arse.

Yep, looks like the speciality food stores including fishmongers and butchers was pulled from the State PDF.

Good, because Woolworths is essentially empty here due to the warehouse strike.

That's something, I guess.

What's happening with offices and banks? Both have a lot of people travelling more than 5km from home, often on public transport.

Banks are exempt, but offices aren’t. Your business has to be one of the exempted industries to qualify. So very, very few. All finance other than actual branches, all marketing, IT (other than critical telecoms) all software development, advertising, real estate etc etc are all banned.

I sort of get it. Andrews mentioned it was an animal welfare thing which is probably true.

If they couldn’t race them for 6 weeks they’d probably just kill all of them.

Yeah the lovely loophole is you are only allowed to go outside for Food/Medical needs/Exercise and, the magically ambiguous phrase, "Going to work unless you are able to work remotely"
So fuckwit bosses don't offer remote capabilities and you're now stuck between working and being fired.

Thankfully this time around they seem to have "Pandemic Leave" lined up, which you should all be using.

Like if they can't loving come on TV and use the E-Word, then they're just going to half arse it again and fuckwit bosses will exploit workers who would rather stay home

I've said before but more cunts have been out in the streets in the last few weeks than 2.5 years here prior combined "exercising" in packs. Not to mention having entire families at the tiny rear end grocers. Anyone who needs to take their spouse and 3 kids to a tiny IGA to shop can just rack the gently caress off.

If things go tits up for you, I may be able to swing you a room in the outer suburbs until things blow over.

I really appreciate that but not in danger of imminent homelessness, just losing my under construction apartment and a whole lot of life savings. I could survive a while without working if I had to, wife is still working. It's more the long term outlook that scares the poo poo out of me. I just want to stay here, I love Melbourne and 2019 was the first time I have ever been happy and content. :(

Very nice gesture though, thank you.

Talk of teaching had me wondering what ever happened to running classes for CNC programming at the makerspace in Marrickville. No great loss because I ran like one class and they don't seem to have gotten their act together on organising more classes to teach, but the income potential was like a couple hundo for a few hours work on a Saturday using skills I don't get to anymore
