A new opinion poll from Roy Morgan Research reveals that three quarters of Victorians now want draconian Stage 4 restrictions ended:

A rapidly increasing majority of Melburnians (75%, up 9% from two weeks ago ) want the 5km travel limit scrapped now, as do for the first time a majority (60%) of Victorians outside Melbourne (up 15% from 2 weeks ago).

Almost three-quarters of Victorians, 73% (up 14% from two weeks ago) say Melburnians should be allowed to visit the homes of their immediate families, and 62% (up 6% from two weeks ago) want Melbourne’s restaurants/hotels/clubs/cafes to be allowed to provide table service with proper social distancing according to the seventh Roy Morgan SMS survey on Victoria’s Stage 4 restrictions.
