@Helen427 you are correct about Simon Birmingham, and I doubt CPalmer will get anywhere with his challenge in WA. I'm not around the Jim's Mowing issue but have heard him speak - quite a guy.
All Australian States have recognised that Quarantining the source will stop it getting into the community. Just like Australia did 250 years ago, and again 100 years ago, and like NZ is also doing today. We currently live very 'normal' lives here, and we are grateful, while being cautious at the same time.
However the Victorian situation began with mal-administration over the 'hotel quarantine' situation, enabling the virus to get into the community, where careless BLM protestors and denial from certain communities caused the pandemic to run wild within the community and specifically the Aged Care homes. When my Civil Liberties cause the death or disablement of someone else in my community, I am in the wrong.
Personal freedom is not something we should demand if our freedom will adversly affect someone elses. The slack behaviour may destroy the Victorian State government as cronyism and backhanding to pander to interest groups comes to light.
Cheers, Charles
