Summary
New South Wales is scrapping over 33,000 COVID-19 fines worth millions — including refunds for those who already paid — after a Supreme Court ruling declared them legally invalid due to vague offense descriptions. The Redfern Legal Centre led the challenge, targeting fines for non-compliance with public health orders under sections 7, 8, or 9 — but not all COVID fines are affected. The state’s revenue agency is now clearing records and processing refunds as legal precedent reshapes pandemic-era penalties. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
