So the organisers of the march get fined 1600 whilst a small business gets a 10000 fine.!

10k Lol. They made that in one hr over the bar

A shitehole....

10k is a small amount for a nightclub mate

What on earth is the matter with people. I wouldn’t call it a love machine .. opportunity to indulge in illicit substances.. more like

Protesters were allowed to breach the orders with a much larger crowd yet they weren't fined. Some people are apparently more equal than others.

Take a look at the nightclub at 313 Flinders Lane, they have been having private gatherings for the last 8 weeks. Police arrived on several occasions, but no one answers the door....music is too loud.

Underbelly

Start handing them out to protesters then

They should appeal and say it was a Black Lives Matter party.

The double standards continue in Victoria. It is a pity the same approach wasn't taken with Cedar Meats. No doubt pay for comment Labor lackeys will justify the double standards.

Surely it was a protest of some sort?

tyrelle123 Don’t pay the fine. Get taken to courtand fight the fight.

Rotten

Fining a business trying to survive, that had less than 50 people but VictoriaPolice allows tens of thousands to protest with no action - disgrace.

Rules for the many and better rules for the few ...

How much have recent protesters been fined DanielAndrewsMP VictorianCHO , your hypocrisy is showing

Fair they decided to allow people to endanger others , just like the protesters which shows the hypocrisy again
