The initial announcement, before the 13th said "for exercise and recreation".
That was changed to exercise and social interaction

The road map downloadable from DHHS states exercise and recreation for 2hrs.

As it reads to me, if you lived 100m from the pier or local lake/river that you can go fishing provided it is less than 2hrs away from your home.


Have you not read page one of this topic. It even has a screenshot of the relevant document. You CANNOT go fishing at the moment.
I did not read page one.

The roadmap which is what the premier is referring to constantly in his presser suggests otherwise.

Looking at both documents on the DHHS website they contradict each other. One suggest you can and the other says you cant.

Just perfect.
Always read the fine print!!!

The roadmap that was all about what the modelling said, that they apparently never used the modelling for?

The way this shitfight is going I wouldn't put it past them to fudge numbers well into November....

Nothing to do with fine print, two separate documents that have conflicting information.

This, there’s something the ATO are requiring of some businesses that isn’t in the legislation. At some point this week I’ve got to see if anyone there actually knows what’s in said legislation and try to beat them over the head with it until they do what we want them to.

We aren’t ever going to be able to go fishing they open the playgrounds up for kids but leave the piers all shut down your more likely to get cocos at the playground where tons of kids touch the Same thing but at a pier no one touches the same thing really except the seats
