Jail time!!!!

Get the cops on to public transport and corporate offices. They'll make a fortune.

That's easy to exploit.

Government should be absolutely ashamed of themselves ,sacking people and throwing them out in the street .. HUMILIATING people making them line up in Centrelink ques .. sending money overseas .. oh that’s right $223 billion on obsolete submarines 👎

Good. About time too

Michael Fuller is his correct name

What about the idiots who let a whole boatload in.

Then they should come check my office cause my employer is in total violation and nothing we workers can do about it...

It's funny because in government they have 150 ppl+ each floor working in housing department, education and many more. They haven't asked them to work from home & in fact asked them to work in other departments when people get sick. The gov should be better than this. Dangerous

This should be interesting. Supermarkets? NSWpol

Typical Police state fleecing the public with exorbitant fines

really? in Italy it is only 200 euros Just milking us proving it is hard

I can see it now, the police interrupting funerals to make sure only 10 people are there. Way to go!

It's possible to do but what about in places like the supermarket where shoppers are close together

What about the enablers of this conduct?

What laws? What legislation? What regulations? Who granted these “new powers” to police and under what authority. We all want to beat this terrible disease but this is a democracy, not a police state.

Good

This is feeling oddly close to how Palpatine became Emperor.

What a lousy job the PM is doing

That’s great. Noone will be able to afford it! numpties

Would help if we knew what those laws were, exactly.
