“They try to be shy about what they’re doing, but it’s hard to be shy about what you’re doing when you’re holding a six-pack or a case.”

Amanda Honey, who has driven Ubers for six years and lives in Marrickville, says she knows when a passenger is going to a hook-up or date because they will need to look up the address or they’ll be uncertain whether they’re in the right place.

Apple mobility data shows a very small increase in driving in recent weeks, based on requests for directions through Apple Maps, from an eight-day average of 55.68 per cent of normal levels two weeks ago to 60.22 per cent in week to September 8. But in the week to August 18, it was 59.5 per cent, so the numbers fluctuate slightly. The figures for public transport use have stayed steady.

“When they get in the Uber [they say] ‘oh mate, I’m exempt’,” Mr Newton said. “I’m not going to get into an argument with someone. Definitely the younger ones between 18 and 30, they all think it’s a joke and they just go out all the time.”

My brother lives on the mid north coast - there was no accommodation available in most places on this weekend due to Sydney siders travelling up for the weekend. No wonder regions are screwed

These young people need to take it more seriously

What a calamity. Let’s not remind ourselves what a disastrous failure, joke Syd 🔐 was from the moment an Uber driver picked up international flight crew legally because of entirely inadequate border policy and procedures.

Israel started 3rd, 4th jabs! Two jabs failed? Two jabs didn’t work? Instead of telling people failure, people are told to have booster jabs, till death! Pickpockets under the name of saving life! depopulation through vaccination! Is Australia heading the same direction?

Steady rise in Victoria's COVID-19 cases with 450 recordedThere are 450 new COVID-19 cases in Victoria, as the state's regional areas, excluding Greater Shepparton, emerge from lockdown. Let's hope there is a ring of steel around Melbourne, and that it's air tight... Incompetence and lies same as last year. If either the premier or the CHO had one ounce of integrity or shame they would step down before there is another mass murder like they orchestrated last year. And NSW? How many in NSW?

Vera used to ask her mother when she was coming home. Now she doesn't botherIn the face of new COVID-19 variants and enduring lockdowns, Australians stranded interstate and abroad say there is no sign of when they will get home. I am in a similar situation, my daughter is also devastated by my absence. I went to visit my terminally ill father and have now been locked out of WA for months. I have a job as a nurse in WA and can’t get to it. No wonder the hospitals are struggling.

Queensland residents prepare for lockdown following new local casesResidents across Queensland are bracing themselves for the announcement of a lockdown following two new local cases reported within the last day in the state. 9News Rules are only for you guys, so do not defend privileged politicians regarding lockdowns as if they really care about you and your life. Be smart, get vaccinated, push them to open borders and say enough to lockdowns. This is not sustainable. Already 19 months Hahaha what a joke We need to stop everyone travelling into QLD from NSW, and shutdown the border bubble. These cases linked to a person from NSW who visited QLD.
