BREAKING: Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that all Pubs, Clubs, Churches, Restaurants and Gyms will be forced to close at Midday today (Monday local time) for up to 6 Months. The decision came after hundreds of thousands of Australians completely ignored social distancing measures introduced last week and flocked to the shops, cinemas, restaurants, pubs, clubs and beaches in large numbers - in defiance of the regulations last week.
Thanks a lot you fucking self-entitled assholes. Look what you did! This is "Stage One". Further restrictions will be introduced if people refuse to abide by the new regulations.
Isn’t this all getting to be a bit excessive? Boomers are the only ones who are getting it the worse and many are surviving

Western nations need to stop pussyfooting around with these half-measures and crack down with martial law. Ours is a society of narcissists and idiots who won’t do the right thing on their own.

Too bad you gave up your guns.

Realistically you're going to full martial law, there's no avoiding it, they're just doing it in steps because you have a whiny population like we do. All international travel will shut down within the next two months as well. The US has already told everyone to either return home immediately or prepare to stay where they are indefinitely.

The fucking Australian Army is going to be pressed into assisting home deliveries with groceries. This is fucking insane.
"We are not putting in place lockdowns that put people and confine them to their home. That is not a measure that has been contemplated at this point.
He said Australians must "do their bit" to enforce social distancing practices, which were "not being observed as well as they should be".
But he said the latest measures were stage one and the national cabinet would consider extra measures if current restrictions did not halt the spread of the virus."
"Mr Morrison said earlier discussions had taken place about using Australia Defence Force resources helping supermarkets with online delivers."
