Can only hope that no one outside Australia watched him, you can have a haircut (limited to 30 mins) but you can’t have your nails done.
You can still ride in a packed train or bus, but you can’t have a spray tan.

Well the contradictory restrictions is another problem too

You can always engage personal common sense... Should I touch that? No? But if you have to, clean off your hands with soap and water before you pick your nose.

EVERYTHING you touch in public is suspected of being infected, treat it as such.

I've had nearly 30 years of dealing with unknown diseases by collecting blood and other bodily fluids from different areas, AIDS, Heptatitis, Swine Flu, many more I've not known about, and I've never been infected.

Let's not forget this ripper comment from last night "Anyone who has a job is an essential service"
WTF does that mean?
If that's the case why are we referring to it as an essential service, why not just keep calling it a job?

I’m sort of put out by the Oz government basically pulling up stumps until 11th August but leaving the door open to make up things as they go - including constituting a quorum, cf:

After enacting indisputably Draconian measures the last thing I want is for them to grant themselves the right to bugger off and hide. I would much prefer they had agreed bindingly to convene much more regularly and own their decisions.

It means that every person currently working and paying tax is essential to the nation's economy at this time, he did explain that.

I'm asking why we are calling jobs essential services?
If non-essential services don't exist I don't understand the reason to confuse the public by referring to work as essential services.
I took over a dozen calls from staff yesterday trying to confirm if our industry is classed as essential services.
