Apparently beach activities are banned such as fishing and swimming. I personally don’t have a problem with the rule. If a swimmer gets caught in a rip they are likely fucked in the absence of lifeguards. Same deal with a rock fisherman who gets swept out. I don’t think it’s fair that SAR/coastguard personnel put their lives at risk trying to find some idiot who broke the rules and found themselves in the drink.
There’s other things we can do for our sanity that are lower risk for everyone. A walk, a run, some cycling on quiet roads. We’re all gutted that we can’t hunt or fish for a few weeks but it’s for the best for everyone.
Whats so dangerous about a family surfcasting on the beach ffs?
Kid getting swept out. Happens
Day 3 : one guy goes fishing
Day 4 : neighbour saw him yesterday, goes out as well - takes his kid along
Day 5 : another neighbor sees all of this and invites his 3 cousins - "everyone is out fishing boys!"
Day 6 : 20 guys all having a yarn on the beach = community transmision
And that assumes none of the above idiots have an accident on the way to fishing, fall off the rocks or get swept out by a rip..
Not that hard to understand, is it ?
It was a beautiful morning for a fish here today, flounder are in the snapper are in close it was very tempting but If I can do it(not go fishing) so can the rest of you.
Hopefully this works and lockdown may be relaxed a bit in a few weeks.
Lucky to have a handy beach any day eh.
Be interesting to read the comnents in three ir four or eight weeks time.
We have just had an email advising us what to do when stopped by Police on the way to/from work
Well it is 20min after lockdown and I can hear what I presume is a Harley and a very loud v8 hooning around.
Just some gang members who cant work out who to rip off first I guess.

Having endured that job for a few years in NZ, I can almost sympathize with you. To put up with the politics, bad management and the leniency afforded to the crims in these places, takes a special type of person. If it starts reflecting on your quality of life, leave sooner rather than later,you'll never regret it. I managed 10 years in the South African Police during the desperate times and even then, I'd do it all again rather than spend 3 years as a prison warden.
