Liberal MP Craig Kelly says police shouldn't be overzealous when enforcing social distancing rules as it could mean Australians start ignoring warnings and holding authorities in "contempt". The New South Wales Police Commissioner Mick Fuller recently defended his officers after they raided parks and beaches on Tuesday and Wednesday to enforce social distancing rules.
People are currently allowed to be outside in groups of two, or more if they are from the same household. Under new laws, anyone caught doing the wrong thing faces a fine of up to $11,000 or six months in prison. "It’s really got to be common sense in this," Mr Kelly told Sky News host Chris Kenny. He said if the regulations are enforced "it in a way that’s overkill, you’ll have the reverse effect".
CraigKellyMP Where is the police in Guildford NSW . I cannot believe people are just behaving as if it’s any day of the week
CraigKellyMP They should be fined!
CraigKellyMP Craig. What about they just abide by the fucking law?
CraigKellyMP There's 24,000,000 of us, and a blip of them. They can run the numbers, we know this is why they took our guns away, but it's was a moot point.
CraigKellyMP Speaking of contempt...
CraigKellyMP That's right Kelly, one law for the majority and another for wackers that may hold authorities in contempt. Not real smart thinking, but true to form.
CraigKellyMP As that the Media admitting this illegal Legislation is infact contempt?

More than 60,000 businesses register in govt's $130bn JobKeeper scheme | Sky News AustraliaTreasurer Josh Frydenberg says more than 60,000 businesses have already registered their interest in the government’s $130 billion JobKeeper scheme and expects thousands more to register yet. \n\nWithin an hour of the announcement, 8000 businesses signed up for the Job Keeper allowance which will see them paid $1500 a fortnight for each worker they keep on the books for the next six months. \n\n“Businesses will need this subsidy to keep their employees and I think it will save thousands of businesses and millions of employees,” Mr Frydenberg said. \n\nSpeaking to Sky News on Tuesday, the Treasurer said Australia was “fighting a war on two fronts, a health crisis and an economic crisis simultaneously”. \n\nWhen asked how long he expected it would take the government to pay off the $130 billion scheme, Mr Frydenberg admitted “it will take years and years” but said “we have to do what is needed at this time and that’s to support the economy”. \n\nThe Treasurer said the government would make further announcements “about various initiatives in due course” but said “they won’t top what was announced yesterday”. \n\n“That was the most significant announcement that you will see from a government for years to come,” he said. \n\n JoshFrydenberg Classic problem, reaction solution. Create total hysteria and fear around an invisible boogeyman. Shut down entire economies as a result of this manufactured crisis. Drive people straight into the arms of gov't, where they will willingly hand over ALL freedom and civil liberty. JoshFrydenberg JoshFrydenberg
