Anyone near Chelsea Vic with roof racks ?

I may need an item picked up and held til i can collect.

I'll be in Moorabbin on Saturday picking up a fuel tank in my ute. Could swing past and bring to our neck of the woods depending on size and what it is.

Is picking up a fuel tank classified as essential travel now?

I was going to go myself but couldn't find anything concrete that said itwould be ok to do so, DHHS website said you are allowed to go for a drive anywhere in the metro area and travel to exercise and collect online purchases but i don't want the risk.

Allowed to take my son for a driving lesson, so will let him drive. Can't see the issue if we are not contacting other people. Judge away [bighmmm]

What you are doing is "Bending" the rules to suit your own agenda, Shame on you.

No, you’re not allowed to take your Son on a driving lesson, that isn’t one of the reasons you can leave home. Given there’s coppers that frequent this forum, it will be interesting to see if anyone does indeed judge you for it. 😉

Personally I’m sick and tired of people bending the rules to suit themselves and thinking the rules don’t apply to them - that’s why we’re in this mess in the first place and locked down again - it’s pretty simple - STAY THE **** AT HOME!

I’m going to report anyone not doing the right thing - I hope someone near you does the same if you do indeed go out.

WOW, how's the view from your high horse? I'm not going to go into details about what I'm doing but I think you are assuming that this fuel tank is for my car (it's an industrial tank). Nice judgemental post, glad you are a perfect citizen.

You’re the one that said you were going out to do something that current rules don’t allow...

IF you have a "Valid" reason to pick up the tank then you wouldn't have any Need of the Bull**** excuse of taking your son for a driving lesson would you.
Lift your game Mate, It's selfish self centered people like yourself that are the main cause of all the pain that the rest of the people Victoria are going through at the moment FFS.

Driving lessons are allowed, we were followed by police the other day while doing so.

Ok, fair enough, but picking the tank up at the same time sure ain’t legal. If it’s for work, then you wouldn’t have your Son driving - on a Saturday... Just don’t understand why people can’t stay at home for a few weeks, it’s not that hard - how would you like it if someone in your family got covid because someone did the wrong thing?

Just do the right thing...

To be honest I didn't think a zero contact pick up would be an issue and the only reason I agreed to do it was to get my son out on a lesson. I've had two family members contract Covid and thankfully recover well so take this whole situation pretty seriously. I work in a hospital (non patient contact) so have am very careful in these time. Anyway not trying to start any fights here.

So!
If I were a courier(which I was for a good 15+ years) and someone asks me to go to place X to do a pickup and hold item over for an unspecified amount of time, am I

1/ flouting socially acceptable precautionary measures
2/ just doing my 'job', even tho I'm not getting any financial benefit
3/ exercising my right to exercise
4/ none of the above, or all of the above

If I go my (aged)dads place and take him something he wants(not necessarily needs, and is capable to get himself), are the social acceptance rules of the above scenario the same here?

All good - a friends Grandfather died 2 nights ago of Covid, so it’s pretty real to me too. Stay safe. 👍

You too, it's tough times.

I hadn't seen my father in law since Christmas, then in May he became I'll (non covid) and passed away within days . I couldn't even go to the bloody funeral because of number restrictions. Some people have sawdust between their ears. FAIRDINKUM.
