My biggest pet hate in the universe, rules for the sake of rules, rules that you simply cannot enforce.
Indeed, fine line between picnicking next to a football game (permitted) and spectating a football game (discouraged).
The more I think about this the more the stupidity pisses me off, particularly when you know they'll let between 10,000 and 20,000 in Adelaide Oval for the showdown on saturday night.
The restrictions have largely worked because for the majority the public can see a level of sense in them and they're not unduly oppressive. The second you lose the public's confidence in this, through shit like this, you're no where.
As an aside, PNU has it's annual lunch in the clubrooms on Friday afternoon. That can be seated at 100% capacity for 100+ odd people not wearing masks while eating or drinking (and I suspect there will be much of each done) but those same people are discouraged from going to the parklands the next day to stand outside in the open air. Madness.
