During the pandemic, Victoria underwent significant changes, effectively transforming into a police state. Residents were subjected to lockdown measures lasting nine months, during which they were allowed to leave their homes only for one hour of exercise per day.
Public spaces were heavily restricted: playgrounds were closed, and play equipment was chained up to prevent use. Police patrolled the streets vigorously, enforcing mask mandates and curfews, actively seeking out those not complying with the rules.
