Easter
Apr 6^th, 2020 at 10:36am

How many arseholes are going to ignore the advice to stay home and not go away on holiday this Easter?

I predict there'll still be a mass exodus from Perth to Mandurah/Bunbury/Busselton this Friday.

Thankfully, they can't go to Esperance.

"The Premier also officially announced a ban on travelling to the south coast town of Esperance, except for essential travel."

Telling Western Australians NOT to go south for the Easter weekend is like telling gun nuts they can't go hunting. I predict trouble this weekend.

Some of those people live for the annual trip south at Easter.

It's the highlight of their year.

I can't see them obeying the rules.

The cops should put in road blocks at Baldivis and Rockingham, and send them all home.

Lots of fines will be handed out this weekend, I'm sure.

https://www.wa.gov.au/organisation/department-of-the-premier-and-cabinet/covid-1...

The police will be no doubt hearing excuses like "Oh, I didn't know" and "That's not fair".

Just like the idiots who refused to stay inside when they were supposed to be in self quarantine.

The only way some people learn is by being hit in the hip pocket with hefty fines. And, that doesn't even work for some.

It will. The ranger up there is red hot onto that shyte.
Reckon the coppers will be out in all those areas over the break.

Rightly so too.

Can see the Police and their Dogs out scouring the ranges chasing Perthese migrating to their Holiday destinations.

Hope they're using concrete barriers to stop people driving south for Easter here in WA.

In Queensland, they were using water filled barriers until this started happening:

Some people will just refuse to do the right thing, even if its for their own (and, everyone else's) good.

The good news is, the Easter road toll will be right down this year.
