    BUT do you realise how many people in Vic especially are doing it really tough and you come out with a comment like this?
    Not me, I'm ok as have been lucky working my a*** off before lock down and taking a few weeks off (work p/t) before we start dancing to DD's tune a little more.

    You may want to think again about what you posted as other people would really like to know if this is another BS comment or it has some substance to it. Mostly I call it as I see it, if I am wrong I apologise, if I am immature well! If I speak up for the people doing it tough I will take a kick up the a*** occasionally.

This talk was before Vic exploded and the stage 4 was put in place. The numbers now are better everyday and hopefully they will put limits on christmas and new year if numbers are not zero.

    They were just discussing the possiable the next spike could because of christmas/new year but ended up being the Motel Quarantiene

    They were saying Christmas and new year would be high transmission events. families have close contact and share food like buffets is risky and if christmas/new year was done like any other year they would expect a spike next year and further resrictions.

    This was before Dan Andrews, the people Victoria/Melbourne stepped up to save Australia.

    Having being home for the last 7 weeks, and having listened to some of the press conferences, I don't think we should listen to anything the media say, they don't listen to any of the information provided, ask the most stupid questions and are just a dumb bunch of people. Thank goodness the media don't run the country.

    My employee is my wife who lives with me so we will be 2up. I’m happy to take them on if I get asked. Easy answer is council workers are anywhere from 3- 5 in a team and they don’t live together so pleas explain the risk..

    F**k em. I’m over the double standards

    I've found everything else has been updated except the page relevant to industries allowed to commence work. I've given up looking and have put off starting until Tuesday. I can't afford to get it wrong so 1 more day wont hurt me.

    All relevant websites are still updating coz sh.# t for brains Dan left it till today to announce and say to check back soon. Having said that, the info is a dogs breakfast to navigate and a real PITA. I did read that all businesses need to be compliant by the 29th so me thinks it’s a a days grace period.

    Blueboy, make sure u issue a work permit for your wife and yourself to cover yourself. You never know with these drunk with power coppers might try and pull us up for the slightest thing.

    I will have with me every bit of paperwork I can find including a COVID safe plan which for us is pretty simple. Other than that D**k head Dan can go F**k himself...lol

    Agree - I can't quite get over how complex this has all become.

    I can't promise this is the latest information, but these appear to be the main pages to look at....


    1. Roadmap 'homepage':
    https://www.vic.gov.au/coronavirus-c...tions-roadmaps

    2. Second step summary (which will apply to Melbourne Metro from tomorrow):
    https://www.vic.gov.au/second-step-c...ad-to-recovery

    3. Industry restrictions by Step (this page is updated with each change - you guys are under "Industry, food and personal services" then "Repairs, Maintenance and Cleaning"
    This is where it says "Gardening and landscaping sole traders safely able to work alone and outside."
    https://www.vic.gov.au/industry-rest...etro-melbourne

    Hope that helps!

    Cheers.

    Wish it did!!

    How alone is alone??

    On a 600sq mtr block maybe you can get a little too close.

    On half an acre? 2 acres? 20 acres? If you run 2 cars?
