The initial announcement, before the 13th said "for exercise and recreation".
That was changed to exercise and social interaction

The road map downloadable from DHHS states exercise and recreation for 2hrs.

As it reads to me, if you lived 100m from the pier or local lake/river that you can go fishing provided it is less than 2hrs away from your home.

Have you not read page one of this topic. It even has a screenshot of the relevant document. You CANNOT go fishing at the moment.

I did not read page one.

The roadmap which is what the premier is referring to constantly in his presser suggests otherwise.

Looking at both documents on the DHHS website they contradict each other. One suggest you can and the other says you cant.

Just perfect.
