Bruce Freshwater is very happy he can resume his pre-curfew routine of cycling 30 kilometres in multiple laps of Albert Park Lake after 10pm.
"And suddenly the curfew came along and I was forced to exercise at the same time as everybody else, starting at 6.30pm or 7pm," he said.
He said most people didn’t seem bothered about the curfew, "but to me it’s been the most irritating aspect of stage four. I’m very pleased to see the back of it." Ms Loielo is claiming in the Supreme Court of Victoria that the curfew is disproportionate and violates her human rights.

Curfew lifted as Melbourne eases restrictions | Sky News AustraliaMelburnians are waking up under eased restrictions today as the Andrews government lifts the controversial curfew across the city as part of a dump of easing some coronavirus measures. \n\nUnder the eased rules, up to five people from two households can gather outside, however, anyone breaking social gathering restrictions will face a $5000 fine. \n\nThe state’s stay-at-home orders remain in place. \n\nThe one person shopping limit has also been lifted, with people permitted to exercise within 5 kilometres of their work and home, and personal trainers will be allowed to train up to two people. \n\nChildcare services will reopen from today, with senior students to return to face-to-face learning from October 5, and all primary school students set to return to school from October 12.\n \nFrom today, supermarket distribution will also resume at 100 per cent to prepare for Christmas demand. \n\nThe state government flagged Victoria could move to the next step earlier than the initial date set out in Premier Daniel Andrews’ roadmap, as case numbers will now drive the easing of restrictions. \n\nIn order for Melbourne to move to the next step, the daily case increase will need to be five or less consistently for a fortnight, with five or less mystery cases. \n\nMr Andrews warned Melburnians to continue to adhere to the restrictions in place to prevent undoing the hard work Victorians had put in over the past months. \n\n“I cant make it any clearer just how serious this is, we are so close,' he said.
