ALL of regional NSW getting locked down, and it looks like the rest of us have a 'stay within 5km of home' order?

Christ it's so loving confusing.

Changing it every couple of days is one reason people have trouble complying.

Announcing this 3 hours after the presser guarantees a heap of people won't know about it.

gently caress knows exactly which stay at home rules are going to apply, either.

I keep trying to find that stuff but my locals don't carry it hey.

Also road bikes are good, dh bikes are good, trail bikes are good, ht dirt jumpers are good, track bikes are good. Ride more bikes no matter what type.

I find it at random IGAs, the one near home carries it so I always have 2 on hand
I made popcorn last night with enough butter to basically cover the popcorn in the pan, and a fairly healthy dose of bush spice and a pinch of msg. V muchly recommend

Also did a quick Bunnings trip to get some stuff to seal our garage floor and gently caress me it was busy. If we don't see it crack 600 by next weekend I'll be shocked.. glad to be in one of the safer LGAs for sure. At least everyone was masked up and they were enforcing check ins which is something I guess

Stronger police presence in NSW to 'clamp down on people doing the wrong thing'

Gladys Berejiklian is outlining the new powers the police will have as well as the tighter restrictions and new penalties.

She said there will be a visable presence of police in affected LGAs

There will be an additional 500 ADF on the ground, joining the 300 already in NSW.

People in Greater Sydney now need a permit to go into regional NSW. The permit will come into effect next Saturday, but police will be monitoring the roads this week to m ake sure people are heading into the regions for permitted reasons.

On the spot fines for breaches will now be $5,000 as well as lying on a permit.

You must register your single bubble buddy, who must live within 5km of you.

The word "recreation" is no longer a reason to leave your home. It must be genuine exercise.

NSW Police Commissioner says new rules and fines will be enforced from today

The Police Commissioner is calling it, Operation Stay At Home.

He says he is no apologetic about the strict restrictions and the strict enforcement.

"Please don't write in and complain to me, we have given ample warnings and cautions, and that time has gone," he said.

"We will be issuing them (fines) as of today.

"There are 1400 men and women in the New South Wales Highway Patrol who now will be dedicated to COVID compliance duties on our roads."

Weird how random and rare these compliance checks are, I have been travelling between Newtown and Pyrmont via Railway Square a few times a week since June and only once seen a cop on public transport, and that was only to check my opal card even though I had just tapped on.

Coffs goon report, busy but calm so far. Shopping centre's have been so quiet for a month, pretty full carparks now and the usual gronks are doing their bit.

Nearly got run over by a senior citizen but that's par for the course tbh

Masks on which is good.

Someone posted a photo of a bus. A bus!!! Parked next to a road!!!! Ominously parked!!!

I think someone contacted the busline and they went "Yeah that's a regular stop on our standard cross-state route where we let the passengers stretch their legs, we've been stopping there for years and years"




E: Peter Dutton suspected it was an organised criminal racket to 'profiteer' off the hoarded supplies and was going to set up an official inquiry into it, LOL

it was insanely funny the time someone posted that poo poo about tourists emptying supermarkets on the beaudesert community group with a photo bc the principal of a local school jumped on and went absolutely apeshit at them and it turned out it was a school bus stopping in for snacks on the way home from a field trip
