Public gatherings in Australia have been further restricted from 10 people to two in a bid to reduce the spread of coronavirus. Separately, a six-month moratorium will apply to evictions in the country

"These rules are intended to be instructive, to be a guide, but on this two-person rule, and particularly on the 10, already from memory in South Australia, there is an on-the-spot fine of $1,000 if you violate that rule, so they are not mucking around.""The strong advice is do not gather groups. Just don't do it. When you go out shopping, you just go out for what you need, you just do it and go home. It is not a time for browsing.

He said further details would be forthcoming on government measures to facilitate"co-operative activity" involving tenants, landlords and the banks. "And that is a business that can reopen on the other side, not weighed down by excessive debts because of rental arrears, a landlord that has a tenant so that they can continue into the future to be able to support the investments that they have made; and banks that have clients, both the landlords and the businesses."Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy says the ramped up measures are"radical".

Two Australians are quite enough at any time

yeah, it’s not going to work... still going to spread during grocery shopping, food deliveries etc... *sigh*

H_LangtreesCBR yes but when is ScottMorrisonMP going to require banks to reduce interest on credit cards and personal loans? In this economy those interest rates are (using words he might understand) 'not very Christian'

Time for the PM to pay attention to solutions

One assumes the virus knows who the cops and leaders are given they only ever travel in packs.

No group sex ok 👌🏼
