Are they even fining people anymore?

Dan loved to throw around fines for everyone, dob in your neighbours, yet we never seem to hear of them anymore.

Everyone's doing the right thing, eddie. They're all going to brothels, in regional Victoria, in groups of no more than 100 at a time. But not visiting each other's houses - because that might be a transmission risk.

Hence, no fines.

So People will just Ignore the Laws?

That is not going to end Nicely
No, I mean the approval rating of this Victorian Government is rightfully plummeting. People are over this rubbish.

It doesn't. It just creates a barrier to make people stay inside as they can't be assed going outside and being in discomfort in a mask.

I won't go out unnecessarily having a wear a mask.

How amazing that the opposition through all of this cant get their shit together to form something close to a competent party.

There’s no doubt that there will be quite a few people who will continue wearing them for a while. But much like bushfire preparedness, each year that goes by without major fires the numbers drop off dramatically.
