Blunt syntax aside, is this a point well and fairly made?
Australia’s second most populous state Victoria, whose borders enclose Bells Beach and Winki Pop, has been getting hell from Corona nineteen.
Seven dead overnight, troops roaming the streets, one hundred and sixty-six grand in fines written in the last twenty-four hours.
But it ain’t total lockdown in Vic, only the parts of the state hit by ol wheezy.
If you’re in the red-zone, you’re stuck in your little neighbourhood for six weeks. Bust out and it’s a $1652 fine, min, up to twenty-gees if you take it to court.
One gorgeous stretch of coast, south-east of the capital Melbourne, that has so far avoided lock-up is the Mornington Peninsula, among whose notable residents includes 1989 world champion Martin Potter.
And locals would prefer it to stay that way.
A sign erected at Gunnamatta Beach, one of the area’s best beachbreaks, advises city surfers thus, “Fuck off Melbourne COVID dogs ‘metro’ kooks”. (Photo from @triggerbrothers)
Nearby graffiti offers similar counsel: “FUCK OFF MELBOURNE DOGS COVID CUNT”.
Australians, for the most, can never be accused of subtlety.
And when it comes to localism, the descendants of crooks and wicked colonialists, will spare no one’s feels.
Question: blunt syntax aside, is this a point well and fairly made?
Or the work of precious angels?

The due process is , you are caught red handed at a check point , booked by the cops for breaking the law , so you then get taken into custody for 24 hrs , like a DYI……Europe is famous for their naming and shaming…..for all and any crimes….it works!
Thanks
Snitching on the snitcher. No thanks.
Ok can you register me as a snitch , as I am now working with police to get people to obey the law and try and be part of the solution in fighting the Pandemic….we send a photo to them of suspect people and cars , and they check their rego..fine em and send em home…I will take the lead if you like and become one of the chief snitchers….
The difference was that in NZ we weren’t allowed to go surfing period. I could drink 6 beers and chainsaw down a tree for firewood but walking across one paddock to surf in front of my house with my two surfing neighbours was deemed a no no.
Mid-length?
This informative street art is only vaguely to do with covid, and more related to the locals dislike of “metro kooks”. In fact the “covid cunts” line was added retrospectively
Texas is getting slammed right now by Covid and Cane.
I think you are good though.
Well LGR, it is 2020 so any fucking thing is possible.
Bunker down bro, hope it misses you and you score SSE.
Never happens, empty warnings.
and Kauai is exempt
Kauai is exempt from what?
Todays hurricane warning for the Islands.
https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Last statement by NOAA said Kauai in the clear…. bearing down on Big Island. Shit changes… be safe.
Kauai is about to get slammed.
I’ve been thru many hurricanes. Only fool would not prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
I’m in a flood zone. I will most likely be homeless next week.
If you don’t see me around it’s because I’m living on the beach in a tent
I just checked the track on Windyty – ugly, ugly, ugly for all N and E facing coasts.
Kauai especially.
Good luck, matey !
Thanks. I’m going down with ship
FuCk C k…. hang in there bro.
LGR, dig in man. What a fucking year.
Wait, what never happens and what empty warnings?
And will now not allow the Mornington crew in that pool!!!!
Mornington has no surf, is quite fancy and like 40kms to gunnas – I’m sure they don’t consider themselves locals.
Heaps of Peninsula boardriders from all over the Pen, Frankston and southern Bayside.
Wonder if the guys at Everest timber in Hastings are getting their surf on?, you know, former club champion and all
France contemplating closing border with Spain again due to Covid. No hate signs yet though.
Hunt it down, it’s really good.
Cheers!
Then you are just a dumb tasteless cunt.
In Australia we call our mates cunt and cunts mate. Hope this clarifies any confusion for you.
Ahhh the good old days are back
Victoria is such a fucking shithole. seal it off and throw away the key
Yeh you can surf as exercise but ISO 2.0 rules state you can travel no more than 10kms for your exercise. Peninsula folk are right to tell us to fuck off.
I thought you were going to read the sign later?
Ya reckon old mate from Dromana isn’t going to go for a surf at Gunna?
Or old mate in Sorrento chase a bank in Rye?
Or the guy in Hastings, Flinders or McRae skip his usual surf at Pines when swell permits?
Fuck, even your man in Balnarring can’t hit up Pines.
Fucking big place the Pen.
So true – if I lived in Balnarring, even Hastings, I’d feel pretty local.
A friend is on the water police, and I asked him last week if I traveled inside the zone where we live all the way to Mornington would I get fined. He said it was 1- for mental health 2-for exercise. He reckons I wouldn’t be fined if stopped, but if I did,to contest it.
Still not clear to me as they were stopping people at Penninsula Link. I didn’t hear if they were turning around surfers or fining them.
Definitely that is the only coast you could potentially get away with as they are part of our Lockdown. Feels frivolous at the moment though.
For sure
Talking about literal dogs – got out of the surf this morn and watched a lab take a crap on high point of incoming tide.
Waited for the owner some dumb cunt to walk up as was about to wash into the surf –
“you got a bag” i asked as she approached
“what for?”
“your dog has laid a shit there”
“He already has done one up the beach “
“so fucking what – how many shits do you do in a day? Oh i’ve done one today guess i cant possibly do another – are you kidding me you moron!!!”
I stood and waited till she arrived at the site then she walked in circles to find it – even tho was a small pyramid although in dark sand!!!
“Fuck me are you blind” pointing to it
“mumble mumble mumble – surf police or to that effect”
“Fuck off idiot” as i ran off
I’m turning into an angry cunt ( but you gotta pick up your shit)
This is all a result of my twin boys playing fucking ipads and not handling tech – even if they play for 30-40 mins complete meltdown to get off!!! I’m the worst dad, hate you etc – because all their mates are playing
Any suggestions other than a sledgie thru the screens?
One day over lockdown my 12 year old boy had a 13 hour session on his PS4.
Dogs shit on the beach, Surfers piss in the Ocean.
One day the Sun will devour the Earth.
It’ll all be ok, even if it isn’t.
I applied the law of diminishing return to this issue and let them play until they got sick of it which does happen eventually or I pull the router cord out for a couple of weeks.
I dont know how you worked out that dog was a liberal
