When can Victorians expect to go fishing again?

HeHe....gonna get out my Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon CD now and give it a run.

Spotify has thrown up a few rippers for this whole debacle. This one's for stumpy
"Free
Yeah, I'm free
From your inciting
You can't brainwash me
You've got a problem
Free
Yeah, I'm free
From society
You can't control me
I'm a defector"

And one that's slightly overdramatic...
"They'll never do what you want them to
Give it up and watch them break through
It's too late for a revolution
Brace for the final solution
Thought contagion"

Did Matt Bellamy travel back from right now to 2015 and 2018 to write those 2?

Conspiracies!

I once heard someone describe Muse as what a rock band from the future would be like.. maybe they were right.

[cobby]

Yeah most of their lyrics are very Orwillian/matrix like this from 2001
Break me in, teach us to cheat
And to lie, cover up
What shouldn't be shared
And the truth's unwinding
Scraping away at my mind
Please stop asking me to describe

Even their live shows are full of it, a fat cat banker showering the audience with fake cash for half a song before being 'shot' by Matt's guitar at the end, robots marching over shadows of people Tiananmen style, shadows marching up stairwells while a computerised voice broadcasts anticapitalist messaging, then when it gets to the word unsustainable split seconds of darkness, the 3 visual pillars split to reveal the band as the shadows fall to their deaths as the opening song of the set.

Dictator Dan’s banning of fishing and boating while allowing other activities is arbitrary and inconsistent with the other states. It enrages me that Dictator Dan sees fit to put my life is on hold, I have a deep suspicion of the efforts to shut down daily life to slow the spread of corona virus, the stay-at-home orders are overreach. Everybody I know has a growing frustration with life under lockdown and it won’t be long before they say to Dictator Dan, “up your Khyber Pass” and start to openly defy the bans, (while maintaining social distance of course).

Although I personally agree with the restrictions in place (but then I live in South Australia). I agree that with the inequity for Victorians (including the ban on Golfing and so forth) that this is going to "speed up" social unrest. Which unfortunately might have a negative effect on what is being tried to be achieved.

The media do point out the inequity quite often. Which is more for selling stories rather than addressing the issue, which seems to enrage more than it addresses.

Sam Newman's stunt is only going to speed up and give more momentum to the Social Dissident Movement. He has a point but inflaming the situation with stunts might not be the best course of action.

I really do feel for you guys



If you guys do band together and appropriately address the issue, try not to do it in Pyjama Pants

I disagree, should be more of it.

I'm no Sam Newman fan but I did think he was pointing out a fare case - probably quite a few on this site have played golf and really it's pretty easy to self distance from others doing so
in other states it's legal and just a couple of small mods 2 per group and not sharing carts - any golfer would easy go along with that

just like fishing it's easy to stay clear of others ( maybe not on piers )

Hunting I know guys that hunt they don't do it in groups

I plan to get out for a paddle now we can do that - up untill a couple of days back kayaking was also off limits even as exercise - so even without fishing I will be able to stay match fit for when we can
might be able to burn off the 4 kg I've gained over the last couple of weeks ---

Sam Newman must be suffering from attention deprivation.
I should organize for a plumber to go give him the attention he deserves.

Are we allowed to paddle out a yak? Man I'll be happy just to do that, bought a new yak 3 weeks before the lockdown and have been itching to take it out for a test run. Also installed my lowrance fishfinder and want to see if it works properly too.

yes as of the 16/4/20 Canoe - kayak - paddle boarding and other human powered craft are now classed as exercise
I don't think they wont us to travel to far to get to a launching spot so keep that in mind

And thats still no fishing - I at this stage plan to go down a quick 5 km paddle tomorrow , I have a small corse marked out I do for fitness training and will use my sea kayak - it's both quicker than ether of my fishing kayaks and easier to get to the water at 18 kg I can carry it easy enough
