A survey has revealed that despite declining support for lockdowns and restrictions, Australians still favour tougher enforcement of public health orders and higher fines.

A poll commissioned by the Sydney-based Centre for Independent Studies (CIS) found that 39 percent of Australians believed penalties for breaching public health orders was too low. Another 47 percent thought the fines were set at the right level, and only 14 percent believed they were too high.
