Hundreds of NSW children paid off COVID-19 fines through ‘work orders’

for minors and replace them with cautions.

“I think it is encouraging these agencies to just write out fines without really thinking about the consequences or being accountable,” she said. “It seems that issuing a penalty notice is a first resort. Why are kids not entitled to a caution for these kinds of offences?” The same data shows that between July 1, 2021 and June 4, 2022, police issued minors with 3579 COVID fines and issued 2672 warnings under the Young Offenders Act - and 113 formal cautions.

“They [WDOs] sound like a good solution. But a lot of these kids are from low socio-economic areas and most likely quite vulnerable. It requires compliance. They have to turn up at a certain time, at a certain place. It’s just not suitable for a lot of kids whose lives may be a little bit more fragile.”

michaelkoziol Good, we should put them in factories and force them to make products in Australia

michaelkoziol Support for police is extremely low, however you don't seem to have the self esteem to report, from the peoples point if view. is their a reason you guys don't have any self esteem? You guys seem to vomit that fact on every post.

DIY road repairers told to stand down as NSW councils struggle to keep upTransport NSW has filled more than 50,000 potholes on the state's highways since March, with thousands more to do, but some are worried local roads have fallen behind. Somewhere there's a picture of people planting trees in potholes. Some of the only roads in and out of smaller communities on the NSW south coast are an absolute joke. If any other service offered was this incompetent you would be demanding a refund, instead we have local council pushing for rate rises while residents do their job. So councils are slow to fix and dont want the community to point out their failures and provide safety warning for other drivers. Right...
