In Australia, statistics show young people received almost half of all fines dished out during the state’s first wave of the pandemic, while the South Sudanese and Aboriginal communities received an outsize number of fines.
Data released by the Crime Statistics Agency last week shows there were 6,062 breaches of Covid-19 rules associated with 5,474 people during the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic in Victoria.

Charlotte Graham-McLay for the Guardian:
New Zealand reported no new cases of Covid-19, health officials said on Monday.
There are 55 active cases of the virus in New Zealand, 28 of them imported in travelers returning from overseas, all of whom are staying at government-run isolation facilities.
The other 27 are community-spread cases in Auckland, the largest city, which remains the only place in New Zealand with some Covid-19 restrictions in place.
The Auckland cluster – which is reducing in size – prompted a second lockdown of the city, which is now easing. The rest of New Zealand has largely returned to normal life, except for strict border controls.
One person is in hospital with the virus.
There have been 1,477 known cases of Covid-19 in New Zealand, with 25 deaths.
