A Victorian man allegedly trying to enter Queensland for a third time is the latest person to be hit with a $4003 fine under the Queensland's border restrictions.

Police stopped the 27-year-old on Thursday afternoon at a checkpoint near Texas, about 300 kilometres south-west of Brisbane on the Queensland-NSW border.

So they wanted us all to download the covid19 tracking app.

funny how they were bragging so many millions had downloaded the app and it would track and prevent outbreaks

with all these new cases of covid19 I haven’t heard of a single case being detected via the app, has anyone else?

Don't get me wrong, we can laugh at ourselves down here, we're used to it, but the current situation in Vic, and Melbourne especially, is just not funny.
We don't care that we can't leave the state. We don't care that we can't annoy you northerners with our nomads and "wobbly boxes". We don't care that it's winter, some of us actually enjoy it.
My wife has an immune deficiency disease, her immune system is working overtime to battle that, so if she catches
 a whiff of covid-19 she will be hospitalised.  Me and the girls are Shitting ourselves and doing everything we can to avoid it.
Two of my mates have lost businesses, devastating to watch.
Calls to lifeline have risen by 22% over the last quarter.

Folks,

I have just spent from 9pm till 1145pm reading and cleaning this whole thread - not how I really wanted to spend my Saturday night considering I work 3 12-hour night shifts a week but oh well ::).

People are losing or worried about losing their loved ones, their jobs and/or businesses, their homes and their retirement funds to this awful, awful virus.  There is a lot of emotion and sensitivity around this topic and quite rightly so - it is having huge impacts on individuals' mental health relative to their personal situation. It's certainly not something most people like to joke about. 

There have already been warnings posted by Mods on this thread on the 5th April (x 2), 7th of April, 15th May and right now. 

As I've stated previously (on the 7th of April to be precise), everyone is entitled to their opinion however, if any Member can't express their opinion respectfully or can't respectfully debate with someone, that Members is kindly asked to spend their time elsewhere. Enough is enough.

Thanks Jillsy , I was a little upset to see so many members swinging blows at each other yesterday .

This forum is a wonderful place to spend some quiet time on , and to see some people/friends swinging blows at each other and other Australian states paying out on other states was quite upsetting .

Have a happy and safe day everyone .

cheers duggie

Made the electrical section seem tame! After everything is said and done, hoping that all the Victorians cope as well as they can with the second stint of level 3 restrictions and that they successfully stop the spread again.

Thanks for thanks Folks but it's not required.  It's a highly emotive topic and it's all fun and games until somebody loses a loved one (which is sadly a very real possibility given the current statistics  :'( ).  Let's keep the jibes for the Electrical Section hey  >:D
