Fewer than 50 people have been fined for breaching self-isolation rules

Of the 42 fines, 26 people were issued the lesser fine before the more expensive fine was introduced on August 4 and the remaining 16 were fined after that date.

Most had either submitted an incorrect address – or were isolating at a different address – while others were outside for a permitted purpose like obtaining medical supplies, receiving medical attention, or fleeing a family violence incident. "Our experience is the majority of people are doing the right thing, and that is from all of our engagement.

Since April, police have received the details of 30,000 Victorian residents who are either COVID-positive or close contacts who were required to isolate.

He knows not what he does

This guy loves a lie

DanielAndrewsMP is a CRIMINAL for what he has done to Victoria and Victorians DanLiedPeopleDied springst auspol COVID19 laborfail corruptgovt

Be grateful that we are pulling through by working together; it will never be perfect and the mechanisms are in place for accountability! But seriously, if we had thousands on ventilators it would worse for everyone and the economy! StayHomeSaveLives MaskUp gratitude

People are angry that life isn’t perfect! We’re getting out of a second wave again because of swift action. He doesn’t get to win but he still tries to support all Victorians and we are behind him! There are issues with police, with private company corruption but IStandWithDan

How much debt has DodgyDan racked up & what taxes is he going to increase, that should be your line of enquiry. Is he going to do a Steve Bracks & walk once the final bill is tallied & the public go into shock? His mismanagement is likely to be the most costly of any Premier.

You are not the deciding voice in who gets fined.

He did say at the time that the 800 would be handed over to police to investigate reasons before fining. Obviously many were able to show evidence of not breaking the rules to convince the police. We all know police don’t shy away from fining people so they were clearly convinced

Please help this farmer, he can’t feed his sheep b/c of closed borders RealMarkLatham

How many have been fined for not wearing a mask? springst laborfail

So they’ve lied to us about that too?

Must have been some pretty good excuses!! Or maybe some people just don't see the fines as a deterrent...finesdontwork toomuchmomey

Another false narrative used by Dan to blame shift away from his government’s utter incompetence.

Of course because they were from mainly migrant communities so instead of getting the multicultural Labor voter base offside by kicking their asses into line for the last 2 months everyone else has been put into stage 4 house arrest

So when Chairman Dan said the reason for Stage 4 lockdowns was because people were doing the wrong thing, he was full of it.

Lucky that DAN has compassion in his heart!! A lot of ignorant illiterate selfish UN - AUSTRALIAN people that have NOT complied &👎🤪 got away with it!!👎🤪🤔😡

He didn't say that. C'mon, you're better than this. Look at the comments your lies are attracting.

I didn’t see any fines from BLM, in saying that, IF people are breaching it, they should stay home and take the money, the trouble is, Dan lie so much, who know how much is true, one needs to ask, why did Dan pay people to be tested.

Surprised he has not blamed climate change yet.

I saw a spider in the kitchen last night. I thought “what would Dan Andrews do?” So I burnt the house down

Fertile ground for Sky News after dark with Paul Murray Live pmlive getting desperate to find some form of attack and using the smaller number of fines as evidence of deception by Dan. Really? Murray like Alan Jones starting to suffer attention deprivation.

And you wonder why your pressers are one long interrogation?

So all those attacks against Victorians and what....less than 50 have been fined for breaching self-isolation rules. What an absolute fool you are DanielAndrewMP

Ashamed is what the government should be! An elderly neighbour walking in treasury gardens was escorted back to his apt after being told you can’t sit on the park bench for a rest! Sad day when basic rights attacked. No fine. 😷💀danandrews cov-19

Why have they cut back on the number of checks on those in isolation and why have they also cut back on contact tracers. Victoria has 20 times the numbers of NSW yet NSW has more contact tracers.

I just read that as great news!

It would be great for dictator Dan to self isolate from politics

The more who breach isolation and spread the virus, the longer he gets to be in CONTROL of Victorians lives.....

He not a happy chappy........He want’s people to break the rules so he can fined them for what little money they got so he recoup his loss to his state coffers which are depleted!!! But he was happy to spend it whist giving himself and his mates a pay rise!!!

Fewer fines than consecutive press conferences from DanielAndrewsMP DictatorDan Fullofspin

Oh Dan not again.

DanLiedPeopleDied DictatorDan CedarAndrews DeadlyDan ResignDanielAndrews resignDanAndrews

So what .. good it means there aren’t that many idiots out there ..

Spin. I doubt there ever was 800. Just more deflection

More BS from Dan to fit his regimes lockdown fetish..!!

Yep, dictatorship complete. Officially a police state

So tell me like a little child, why did not those rule breachers receive the fine for their behaviors? Why should the others follow the rules then? No wonder victorians covid19 postive number is still above 200 each day under stage4lockdown and more people dying COVID19Vic
