why dont you call the number and see what they have to say for yourself.
i just did, and it goes to yarram police station, just like it says on the letterhead.
and YES they said you could be fined for breaching the rules.
The guy i spoke to said they have received many calls about this document at the station already!

Re: Non essential fish today.
Well the police understanding of the legislation is appears to be incorrect. Fishing is legal as confirmed by VFA accroding to VRfish although the updated post appears to cause further confusion.... and Tim Quilty elected member of the VIC state government.
"Please feel free to share this around to keep people informed.
To be clear – fishing and hunting are not actually banned by the COVID 19 restrictions, despite what the police may think. If you are doing it to provide for food and obtain exercise, and obeying the other social distancing rules, then you are within the law, and the police have no business bothering you."

Whilst I agree whole heartedly with his sentiments, I’m not sure he is the sole guy that gets to make the laws or enforce them.frozenpod wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 2020 9:06 amWell the police understanding of the legislation is appears to be incorrect.

There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding between what you can do, and can't do, with all these restrictions etc in place.frozenpod wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 2020 9:06 amWell the police understanding of the legislation is appears to be incorrect.

even the police officer i spoke to over the phone said that they are also only just being made aware of ALL the rules, but the document in question is Legit.
But at the end of the day id rather not have the inconvenience of arguing a fine in court at a later date.
Go fishing or hunting at your own risk.
The best thing to do in this situation is to STFAH

Re: Non essential fish today.
Problem is food and water essential. I will have to go out to get protein and I would much rather do that by harvesting my own with zero interaction with anyone outside of my household compared with going to the supermarket. This is the safest way for my family and other members of the community.

Re: Non essential fish today.
I also just got off the phone to Melbourne water police. I was told they are issuing fines to people on the water whether they abiding by social distancing laws or not. They also told me that fishing is not an approved activity to leave the house for and they will be issuing move on orders or fines for this also. I referred them to Tim Quilty’s page and asked them to follow up for clarity.
Illegal or not, I’m guessing that for practical purposes it isn’t worth the cost of the fine or the hassle of being forced off the water and potentially defending yourself in court at some future date. I’m no martyr. If it turns out that this isn’t actually illegal or was never legally enforceable (at some later date) then we will know what type of government regime we truly live under and it will not be one of just law but also one of coercion when convenient. Terrifying thought.

Re: Non essential fish today.
Just a note last week we did 3 trips to the shops for meat normally it is 1 but many shops now have been putting a limit on how much you can buyfrozenpod wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 2020 9:45 amProblem is food and water essential.

That’s 3 trips to the shops ok everyone is trying to distant but is is harder to distant from other people when you have to head to the same place
Now I normally fish now smaller of the 2 Melbourne bays Westernport is 470 sq Km it is a lot easier to distance from others there
It is also easier to get meat there ( fish ) than the shops atm
