Premier Daniel Andrews asks Victorians to ignore the 'appalling' behaviour of those who defy mask-wearing laws in the state.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has called out the "appalling" behaviour of people flouting Melbourne's strict coronavirus restrictions.Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said the behaviour was "appalling"The Premier's comments came in the wake of a video which went viral over the weekend, filmed by a woman who confronted Bunnings staff who asked her to wear a mask in one of the hardware chain's Melbourne stores.

"I actually don't [have to wear a mask] and you're not authorised by the Australian Government to even question me about it.The woman refused to leave the store.Mr Andrews asked Victorians to ignore such people."The thing with conspiracy theorists [is] the more you engage in an argument with them, the more oxygen you are giving them," he said.

"Their behaviour is appalling. Their views have no basis in science or fact or law. Don't focus on them." "My message to anyone planning to break the rules is simple: no-one has a human right to infect other people and place the entire Victoria community at risk."

Aussie constitutional rights:- 1. Vote in Commonwealth elections. 2. Freedom of religion. 3. Trial by jury. 4. 'just terms' for the compulsory 'acquisition' of property. 5. Prohibition on discrimination against residents of other States. 6. No masks in bunnings.

Oh these poor shop assistants! Life is tough enough at the moment, they deserve better.

There are very stupid people roaming free in the world. Can they be put in jail for violating a state regulation? DanielAndrewsMP

He didn't condemn her! Jeez learn to report correctly... you sound like you work for Murdoch...mmmmm

Shame on the Vic gov’t & dopey Dan’s mishandling of Coronavirus outbreak resulting in deaths, isolation, division and gross incompetence. Vic Health should be sacked for it’s poor management.

ABC so good at shaming people and festering on misery.

Sigh!

How would you like to be an immigrant in Dan Andrew's Victoria? Brought to Melbourne, a city of odd food & language, put into a tiny flat on the 20th floor of a decrepit 1960's housing block. No job & made to live on $40 a day - surrounded by 500 police & locked-down. Thanks Dan!

The trouble is these people want to be called appalling it is the only way they will get any attention to their dull, pathetic, plain little lives.

'Karen' is an anti-white smear word to denigrate.

Here she is telling everyone to wear a mask. She’s just an attention seeking hypocrite.

That's not a Karen!!! Karen's are not crazy conspiracy theorist / sovereign citizen nutjobs. Karen's are pushy, entitled, demanding, upper-middle class, soccer moms. Know your meme's!! 😏😁

Is she married?! Would a man ever wanna marry a living woman like her?!

Karen's grasp of constitutional and other aspects of law is, err, tenuous. She sounds a bit like Pauline Hanson: any relation d'ya think?

interesting that you use an insulting 'dehumanizing' term like 'karen' to describe someone who isnt willingly capitulating to the destruction her personal liberties. You dam pathetic NPCs better learn to code....

I have the human right not to risk being infected by 'Bunnings Karen'. Thanks and sympathies to the retail staff and police who have to deal with horrible people like her to keep the rest of us safe.

We don’t care what “Bunnings Karen” thinks..... she’s a fool

Perhaps U forgot that Dan hv asked that all media outlets focus on the key messages to rather than letting Karen suck our oxygen. IStandWithDan Focus on the msg. Get tested and stay ISO

DanielAndrewsMP well done mate. Doing good in Victoria on the coronavirus. Get enough rest registered nurse agedcare LITHGOW

What’s interesting is we are about 4 weeks behind the US. Big stores over there are now pulling mask requirements. Flip flop flu.

...'my right as a living woman...'. Have you ever heard so much clap-trap in all your life! Obviously, this person has been watching far too many US crime and reality TV shows.

She was a bit rude, but she was correct. The DHHS website says people with medical conditions preventing them wearing masks don't need to have med. certs. It allows us to confirm our reason, if asked by police. Dan Andrews should know what the rules are before criticizing people.

Hey Normie, this post is sexist. You might like to keep to the professional journalism please

fuck that bitch

She just got the attention that she needed. Her rants shouldn't be picked up by MSM.

maybe if they let males in without wearing a mask and not her it might be discrimination, but how is she being treated unfairly. she is the one not treating everyone else fairly. good grief.

Think you don't need to wear a mask? Watch what happens without oneIf you're not sure whether wearing a face mask is worth it, or you need to wear a mask but are unsure which type, new research should help you decide. Nobody is going to dispute that masks contain particles from sneezing and coughing but isn't the purpose of the mask to discourage people from touching their face. In a perfect world, only the sick would wear masks so that we know to steer clear. Do most people take their mask off to sneeze? Pritty gross wearing the same mask after sneezing in it. Masks are pointless

There's so many other things in life that are much more critical to sook about. Why isn’t she being arrested?
