The staggering number of unpaid COVID-19 fines in Victoria

Three quarters of COVID-19 fines issued in the year to March 31 have not yet been paid.

Yesterday, Victoria’s official crime statistics revealed almost 38,000 fines were issued.

But about 25,000 are yet to be paid.

About 2000 fines have been withdrawn and another 2000 have been taken to court.
