This is a wonderful result. The stress my covid fine caused when I was already being financially crippled was unbelievable & I know I’m not the only one. At one point I had to scrounge for $ when they cancelled my drivers licence.

Apparently, the Australian government is concerned the masses are going to rise up and strike back for what was done to them during the fake virus hoax.
There is no other reason to do amnesty.
RT:
The authorities in Australia’s largest state, New South Wales (NSW), have said that they will withdraw or refund tens of thousands of fines issued for violations of restrictions during the pandemic.
The move follows a defeat that the NSW government suffered in a court battle against free advocacy group Redfern Legal Centre on Tuesday.
The group launched a test case in July on behalf of three plaintiffs, arguing their fines of between AUS$1,000 ($673) to AUS$3,000 ($2,020) were invalid because the penalty notices didn’t describe the offense sufficiently.
“It’s not a big ask, if you’re going to fine someone for an offense, to set out what the offense is in the notice,” Katherine Richardson, the lawyer for the plaintiffs argued at the New South Wales Supreme Court, as cited by the Sydney Morning Herald.
The government’s lawyers have now conceded that the tickets really didn’t meet the legal requirements.
Shortly after the hearing, the Commissioner of Fines Administration said that 33,121 fines are going to be withdrawn, as they had been issued with similar wording to those of the plaintiffs’ notices.
This is obviously just manipulation, but it’s notable that the government is effectively admitting that the whole thing was a big hoax.
This is what we told everyone: “Just hold on, this can’t last forever.”
Imagine having taken the vax and having calamari in your veins and now realizing you could have just chilled out and waited a year for things to cool down.

Australia completely lost the plot during lockdowns. Now it plans to withdraw or refund 33,132 COVID-19 fines – not because of a change of heart, but because test cases found their totalitarian fines were invalid. Shame on them! https://t.co/ZYbrYd4DMI pic.twitter.com/RGmpfjDYR5
