But for how much longer will machtuk be allowed to post criticising the Government?
If you'd come on here 6 months ago, or even 3 months ago and "Everyone living <here, ^Here and there> will need a letter, signed by their employer and satisfactory to the State of Victoria, to allow you to travel beyond the limits of your front door to your place of employment. Said letter must be produced on demand to an armed police officer, whose sole reason for interrogating you today is to determine whether you have authority to be outside your home".
You'd have been laughed off the forums, but here we are.....

I suspect this is not going to end well. There are enough useful idiots in Vic to defy even the toughest lock down, just as sport.
Make sure the preservation and maintenance is up to date on airframes and power plants, may be a while before they see any action sadly.

Can anyone enlighten me on what pilots are exempt from Victoria's new rules
and or how other states treat pilots differently?
I needed to go to Melb for a few days and
it turns out my other option was Auckland where
things appear to be functioning far better.

Squawk,I recall being told years ago that State police forces deputised their interstate colleagues somehow. The old idea of smoky and the bandit style chases to the State line doesn’t work - Victorian police will chase you right across the border into NSW and vice versa was what I was told.

You are also permitted to travel any distance to meet your Tinder date (aka intimate partner).
