Activists Opposing Stalinist Lockdown in Victoria State, Australia Face Savage Fines

Coronavirus Australia: Conspiracy Theorists Facing $10,000 Fines by Benjamim Graham – August 13, 2020 https://www.news.com.au/world/coronavirus/australia/coronavirus-australia-conspiracy-theorists-facing-10000-fines/news-story/f53c62fee2d92a35c5bebf08936e0411

The Victorian Premier has warned coronavirus conspiracy theorists disrupting police will face fines.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has warned those filming themselves arguing with police at checkpoints will be taken to court.

“They have now been found. I do not believe they received an on-the-spot fine. That is the low-level fine,” he said. “I think they will be charged on summons. That will be a matter for others and I do not determine those matters but there is the on the spot $1652 fine and if you go through a court process it is much closer to $10,000 so it is a pretty significant penalty.”

“Why give these people any more air time?” he said.

This is not about some obscure nonsense you‘ve read on a website. ”There are rules. There are laws in place. And everyone should follow them.

“And I‘m not really interested in wasting any of our time, or using these examples of appalling behaviour, to detract from the vast majority of Victorians who are doing the right thing.

The case I referred to very briefly a moment ago – the person who went through the checkpoint – police have found her and she will be appropriately dealt with.

“So, anyone who thinks this is a good thing to do, not only is it wrong but it‘s not particularly smart, because Victoria Police are out there and they’re doing their job well.”

THE COVID-19 POLICE STATE IN AUSTRALIA

Police in Melbourne, Australia now have the power to enter people’s homes without a warrant and perform ‘spot checks’ to enforce compliance with new coronavirus lockdown rules.After the state of Victoria announced a “state of disaster” in response to a spike in coronavirus cases, Premier of the state Daniel Andrews told residents, “We can no longer have people simply out and about for no good reason whatsoever.”In addition to an 8pm to 5am curfew, residents can only leave their homes outside those hours to shop for food and essential items, carry out care and caregiving, as well as daily exercise and work.The new powers also give police the right to “enter your home to carry out spot checks even if you don’t give them permission and they don’t have a warrant,” reports LockdownSkeptics.org.Controls on buying have also been introduced, restricting citizens to purchases of no more than two of certain essential items, including dairy, meat, vegetables, fish and toilet paper.As we highlighted earlier, immediately after the government announced the new draconian measures, police in their hundreds positioned themselves around residential tower blocks to ensure no one could leave.People were told they must stay in the residence in which they slept the previous night for the next six weeks. Anyone who violates the new rules faces a fine of up to $1,652, an amount which is set to be increased.As Toby Young writes, the spike in COVID-19 cases in the region could simply be due to the fact that more tests are being conducted.“Victoria tested almost 43,000 on Sunday, July 26th, twice as many as on normal days, and the peak on Wednesday could be due to the few days delay before the results come through. In addition, a percentage of the positive results are likely due to the extensive contact tracing introduced in the past few weeks, with targeted testing of those who’ve been in contact with other infected people.” “It looks like a familiar pattern: on the advice of public health officials, a political leader ramps up testing and introduces a track-and-trace programme, then, when the number of cases inevitably increases, the leader panics and introduces draconian new measures.”
