Pickup items - leaving house - reasonable excuse laws

[christo-collectables]

What are people's thoughts with the new leaving home restrictions and potential fines?

As a seller this is more a choice for the buyer to make and will depend on the item (a computer monitor - yes essential for work at home vs a nice fancy new TV - not essentially) however personally I wouldn't pick up an item anymore (on top of the social distancing rules)

Really can only be by delivery now

In terms of us technically being allowed to visit any place that's still open, um...so we're legally able to browse around David Jones, Surf Dive n Ski, bookshops, and any number of the clothing shops still open? I think not! They're not essential, and yet are still open. I am a partial shopaholic and I wouldn't go to any of those places right now at all, not for fear of a fine, but for fear of infection!

Don't forget hairdressers and beauticians, both 'essential' services. Ridiculous. They cancelled all open air weekend markets where people are out in the open, can keep their distance, yet allow small stores to have close contact with customers? Not to mention how trying on clothes or handling a person's hair/head would be a greater source of transference! Don't even get me started on cruise ships
