I guess that's what I get for taking advice from someone on the phone instead of via a primary source.

You are correct, I apologise.
Rona hotline? May aswell just flip a coin yourself with that one...

probably not the worst thing, keep calling back until you get the answer you want then grab a call reference to give the cops when they pull you over

works great with the ATO

Rookie error.
What you didn't see is the 3rd page retracting the reply given in the second page stating "yes" fishing is allowed!!

I also got excited seeing the reply, Only to see the 3rd post soon after

15 calls, 9 yes, 6 no. All given the exact same info. Cops have been no issue at all, but no one goes near Epping so...

Dictator Dan

I would really really encourage anyone who still sprouts this nonsense to watch today's press conference where he's talking about the boots left at his fathers farm.

You have no idea what a dictator is or what a dictatorship looks like.

Reckon mid month they will throw it in as a bonus crumb.

Meanwhile if you are sitting out in the scrub away from a public thoroughfare fishing a drain the odds of getting booked are negligible, especially now people are sitting in the parks and by the river everywhere now. Plonking yourself on the end of a pier may a bit in their face, especially if everyone else lines up doing the same, which I guess is what they are afraid of. Like they did in stage 3..It comes down to the potential of congregation issue again
