It may be your buisness doing what you are doing But if what you are doing is impacting upon other peoples health and welfare (as what is happening in NSW at the moment) then it becomes other peoples buisness as well.

shock horror, and what if it doesn't impact on anyone else? The offended will still be offended i guess.

If someone has to look after the welfare of animals outside of town so be it. In Sydney apparently they now need to get a permit to leave town. Good. Four weeks late but OK, they eventually figured it out. Anyway, if you need to go get a permit, go look after the animals welfare and then go home - all good if done properly, no harm no foul.

I would be far more alarmed at the person or persons who can wander around doing non-essential stuff. If in Sydney, watch out for those going out getting (or selling) landscape supplies, soft drinks or juice, take away food, newspapers, beers, coffees, garden fertilisers, some more shrubs or the dry cleaning.

Lock-down Lite!

Back in my day, lock down meant lock down non essential stuff.

Nobody is saying that the animals have to starve, They just have to be more organized how this is done without jeopardising anyone else.

Why is that people are always looking for loopholes to get around doing the right thing??

Where did I say anything about more than one person tending animals?

You are legally required to look after your animals, hobby farm or commercial enterprise so you can leave home to tend them unless you are in quarantine in which case other arrangements must be made.

A statewide 7 day lockdown is announced on Twitter, not in person.
And they're going to hide the daily case numbers and only announce hospitalisations from now on.
Seriously?

Taking a Wild, Unsubstantiated Guess..... reckon we're in for a 'surge' followed by a Lockdown within the coming month... or sooner. IMHO, simply posturing by our Emperor to keep up with his Comrades in the East.

Like to be totally Rrong.... but the augeries declare otherwise, local supermarkets choked with dunny rolls of a particular high quality. Even a vacuum shop had lots on display.....

The NSW State wide lock down was called for by the AMA. The AMA's NSW President , Dr Danielle McMullen, released a statement warning the State's Health system " can no longer manage the alarming increase in case numbers." McMullen says" The piecemeal approach to lock down isn't working . It creates an us vs them mentality between LGA's , where really, we need to treat this virus like its everywhere, all the time. Every person in NSW must play their part or more people are going to get sick, and sadly, more people are going to die "

"Doctors across NSW are exhausted and concerned for their community. Our already fragile rural and regional health system will be unable to cope with increases in cases."

This highlights the danger not just NSW, but all of Australia faces from COVID delta .There should be no doubt about getting vaccinated now, and the sooner the better.
