'Not black and white': Lawyers warn fines for public health breaches could fall over in court | JordsBaker

Police fined Mr Harwin after the 55-year-old had relocated to a second home at Pearl Beach "in contravention of current Ministerial Direction under the Public Health Act". But the orders do allow people to move between residences, and to leave for essential business.

For example, the NSW orders only criminalised leaving the house without an excuse, and did not address the issue of staying out of the house longer than necessary, unlike those in Queensland. "I think if society got back to normal, a great deal of these would be dealt with either very leniently or dismissed because there are a number of technicalities," he said.

JordsBaker Much discussion on tyranny and locking down healthy people. Agreed its a pain but when you see the number of deaths occurring in the US and Europe then by comparison we are way ahead due to the measures put into place.

JordsBaker Its not that hard to adhere too, people just are ill disciplined and its why they are fined.

JordsBaker Healthy people are expected to adhere to health & safety precautions protocols to avoid unwanted contacts with a sick individual. As an essential worker only smart ones will understand.

What's wrong with people? Absolutely abhorrent & disgraceful. Impose a prison sentence on people who spit at anybody, let alone Police. That will become a deterrent. Dirty grubs! christianoey Good they should be.
