Fishing in your postcode on the coast isolated I understand, recreational boating with a mate I don’t. More clarity please...

What part of STAY AT HOME! Don’t these selfish people understand.

'If you do need a break and if [fishing] is your exercise, than do it sensibly and do it quickly and return home' - Has the NSW Police Commissioner ever been fishing?

Wait. Stop. So I can't swim in the ocean, I can't paddle out on my board in the ocean, I can't wear a face mask and swim under the ocean.....but if I carry a long stick I can stand in the ocean? Is this right?

So you can stand on the beach fishing, but if you go for a surf or a walk in the bush, you get hassled?

*looks online for fishing rod*

What about recreational motorcycle riding. Asking for a friend.

So inconsistent

'An outbreak in backpackers': NSW to search for undetected COVID-19 cases in Sydney's eastNSW will more aggressively search for undetected cases of COVID-19 in Sydney's eastern suburbs amid fears backpackers in Bondi could be spreading the virus into the community Strict quarantine of hot spots and individuals is the only way to stop spreading of virus. For centuries humanity was saved from pandemics with strict quarantine of hot spots until vaccine developed, tested and distributed. The backpackers found to have attended the parties and visited the beach, ignoring the rules at the time, should be quarantined, forced to foot the hotel bill and sent back to their respective countries. I’m not sure that 2020 is the time for backpacking. Go home to family when they need you most and stay safe. World is a different place right now. GladysB We need to look after each other.
