Its a bit of a safety issue. No excuse but they do sometimes park in stupid spots. That and the fact that when you see a cop car the first thing you do is look down at your Speedo. Lose a bit of concentration or freak out. Again no excuses intended. Hope they are ok.

What!!!🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I’ms this serious? I hate see cop a get treated like this!

Two new cases of COVID-19 as NSW looks to ease restrictions | Sky News AustraliaNew South Wales has confirmed just two new cases of COVID-19 in the past 24 hours ahead of easing restrictions on Friday. \n\nRestrictions will be eased to allow two adults to visit others in their home but Premier Berejiklian has urged people to use their new freedom “responsibly”. \n\n“We appreciate that for mental health and to reduce isolation, people are now allowed to go and visit others in their home, two adults at a time. Please make sure you do this responsibly,” she said. \n\nNews Corp Australia\n\n HCQ & CQ + Az + Zn + Vit C. There is no reason the country should be locked down any more, based on the stats, and on the new Executive Summary reports released below: Reports: Sequential CQ / HCQ Research Papers and Reports January to April 20, 2020 Open up the state. This is pathetic. Given current position, low city density by global standards, median age 37, and that we are an island, you'd have to be irrationally pessimistic to think we cannot keep death rate (currently 3ppl per Million) below the 1990s road toll (100 ppl per Million).

Relaxation of restrictions 'not an invitation for a holiday': NSW Premier | Sky News AustraliaNew South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian has called on residents to 'please respect the rules' as the government moves to ease social distancing restrictions, adding the relaxations are not an invitation for a holiday. \n\n'The reasons why we're allowing people to come into other people's households is to extend the definition of care,' she said. \n\nThe premier announced on Tuesday the state would allow up to two adults - with the exception of children - to visit other NSW households in a move that aims to reduce social isolation and improve mental health.\n\n'We know so many people in our community have been locked up in their homes for weeks on end. We thank them for it.\n\nPremier Berejiklian said she still expected 'every family' to have conversations about what form the 'new arrangements' would take in their particular set of circumstances.\n\n'I'll still be standing outside the house and not going inside my parents' home when I visit them because I'm still in contact with a lot of people and I don't want to put them at risk.'\n\n'We don't want to see families unnecessarily go through grief.'\n\nThere is currently no limit on the distance someone may travel to visit loved ones.\n\nThe premier urged NSW residents to maintain vigilance despite the changes to ensure the government would not be required to reinforce measures previously scaled back due to a second wave of infection.\n\nThe Premier announced the majority of the $250 million in funding for deep-cleaning and disinfecting public spaces will be allocated to schools and public transport. \n\nImage: Getty\n\n GladysB A holiday, how about a nice cruise. It seems that getting that sea air has serious consequences. Why is Dutton still here. GladysB Yeah right! 🤷‍♂️ GladysB Rules ? Interesting choice of words , they are not lawful laws so people don’t need to follow them
