Putting aside how the outbreak started.
There was/is a requirement for people who may be infected or confirmed to be infected to self isolate.... Simple to understand.
Instead people were going to get tested, then while waiting for the result they were going to work, going to the shops etc and worse still there were a significant number who still went out even after having a positive test.
The disparity between the number of people doing this and the number fined was because of "administrative" issues. The teams doing the people at home checks (ADF and Health workers) were finding people not at home... but the police didn't/couldn't follow up with a fine.
