But no, you, personally, aren't more important than the overall health of our population.
Suck. It. Up. And stop whingeing.

Never underestimate the self entitled d$&kheads that are out there though. Drove past the Mt Anne car park last week to see 2 cars parked out the front. It’s the actions of the selfish that mean we all have to suffer.
You have successfully joined hoards of keyboard commandos who can feel important by shouting down the mass of people who are confused by mixed messaging. Congratulations.
In a country where our freedoms have been inalienable for generations it surprising to me that people who project themselves as intelligent, feel like it is obvious that we could all untangle the closures and new legislation, much of which pops up overnight with no cohesive messaging, is different state to state and even region to region, and does not always follow the health experts advice.
North north west, there are rules in every developed country for isolating prisoners because the impact is so high. Penal systems endeavor not to inflict it on people who have already been segregated from society because of the known impact to people's mental health and rehabilitation prospects. Can you really be surprised that people are having a hard time coming to terms with being forced to remain in their home, say in the example of my mother in law, on their own?
Tazz81, you cannot possibly know what people were there for on your drive past. It is highly possible that people were breaking rules. Maybe they volunteer for a landcare group. Show me some data before you spout off.
And for anyone suggesting people are entitled and stupid, justify to me the difference in risk between taking my 6 yr old son from the same household rabbit shooting on a family members private property 10 minutes from here, compared to say, going 10 minutes to a shopping centre to buy him some Lego to stay in the house. I've been encouraged in a statement by the prime minister that the latter is fine, but I'm receiving notifications from Victoria police and the GMA making it clear the former is not and will be heavily fined. And before you get smart about it, I already own everything I need to go hunting and my work car is already getting regular fuel anyway.
And because some people seem to struggle to read between the lines, I have not taken my boy out hunting despite his burning desire.
A lot of people are forgetting compassion and realism in their online discussions, happening on a very broad scale. Things are not black and white, as a nation we are navigating grey areas that we have never contemplated before, and unfortunately a lot of people are too caught up in being a good guy to pay attention to that. Even now in the early days people are reporting people to police who are just walking their dog.
I thought this site would be a great resource but it seems like its always the same people talking over others and making assertions that carry knowledge but lack wisdom. To everyone, everywhere I would say before you post something, reply to someone or call someone an expletive or question their intelligence or intent, consider if you would choose those words to make your point face to face.
