The initial rules when we went into "Stage 4" lockdown were: * Essential industries (food, health care, logistics) were working, some, like abbatoirs, with reduced capacity * Retail food sales (supermarkets/butchers/bakers etc) open. Cafes/restaurants for take-out or delivery only. * Other retail closed except for online or click&collect contact free. * Night curfew 8pm - 5am, relaxed later to 9pm. * Maximum 5km radius from home unless for work/medical care. * Only 4 reasons to leave home: essential work, medical care, one person shopping once/day, one hour of exercise. * Masks whenever in public (not just inside). Over time, some things got slowly relaxed. The curfew was changed when we got to the start of daylight savings. The radius was relaxed from 5km to 25km. A "singles" or "intimate partner" bubble was established, that allowed people to have one other person outside their household. Then two households were allowed to meet outside the home, but still masked. At the same time, the government support included $150 if you were being tested and had to quarantine until the results (usually 24h). Then if you were positive or were a close contact and had no sick leave, then there were payments of $1500 for the 14 day isolation/quarantine period. The Federal government introduced Jobkeeper, which was a subsidy of $1500/fortnight for businesses to maintain employment, and Jobseeker was an extended unemployment payment.
