They’ve swapped the 21-piece feed for the poker machine and they’ve hit the jackpot.
A group of 16 Victorian fried chicken fanatics who copped $26,000 in COVID fines after a large order at a Dandenong KFC have had their fine slashed to $5000 after incorporating as a gambling and entertainment company.
The idea came to the wicked wing maniacs after hearing that The Star casino was fined only $5000 for breaching social distancing rules only hours after a patron tested positive for coronavirus. The wisdom of the plan was confirmed with news this morning that new restrictions on pubs will not apply to The Star.
This rather large group of nugget hounds thought setting up a multi-billion dollar casino empire would be the most effective way to exempt themselves from the laws that apply to the rest of us and they’re not wrong.
