A Supreme Court judge declares two fines issued during Sydney's public health lockdown are invalid, opening the door to more than 32,000 infringements to be contested.

Brendan Beame and Teal Els were fined between $1,000-$3,000 during the extended public health lockdowns.

Katherine Richardson SC, representing both Mr Beame and Ms Els, said NSW statistics showed more than 160 people had received an identical $3,000 fine as Ms Els, and more than 500 had fines with similar wording. "How can she tell, for example, having no idea what offence she said to have committed with a penalty amount of $3,000, which is obviously a very significant amount of money to be imposed by notice procedure," Ms Richardson told the court.

Are the ABC and the police following the science? Has the science changed? leftisim

So the ConspiracyTheorist AntiVaxxers have been proven correct again!

We want compensation ,why did corporations and corrupt tycoons increase there wealth, and now we're all struggling?

And what about the rest of the country?

You played a part in this discrace you don't stand for the most basic human rights. You should be defunded and shut down.

And yet the same media sees the light in the narrative of the brave Chinese protesters.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, suck shit government fraudsters.

The few times Police tried to pull me up with this nonsense, I just stood my ground and they backed down.

I'll call this one - A POLITICAL STUNT designed to buy COOKERS' votes in NSW by NSW's COOKER IN CHIEF (Let It Rip Perrottet).

The damage has already been done, and abcnews is complicit in that damage.

It was just a cold!

Still not getting it. The clot shot.

That’s half of one state done. Now everyone else please.

Excellent. They were pathetic.

We told you. Your job is to report facts. YOU are the misinformation pushers. What makes you worse though, is that we pay you! Merry Christmas ABC... and a Happy New Year 😎

Wonder what the cost of all the crap was. Wasted taxpayer funds

These fines just need to be scrapped- sitting in a park after exercising was illegal with fines of up to $3000.

ALL COVID FINES SHOULD BE RULED ILLEGAL AS RESTRICTIONS WERE MANDATED NOT MADE LAW..

and you were silent... complicit in genocide

hammerofleft Far out! Now didn't we tell yous all this?! Yes we did. Aha yes, we did. Next time..fkn liiisten

Why have you changed 33 to 32? We can all see the symbology, why try and hide it?

Now do the same for every other State and Territory that imposed similar fines. Reimburse all that have paid and wipe fine notices to those that haven’t paid.

Biggest scam in history of man kind

Great!

Another COVID stuff up by BradHazzard . Ruby Princess, quarantine workers not wearing masks, delta wave and now this. So much for the gold standard.

A step in the right direction. But there have to be legal consequences for the authoritarian politicians and police. These people don't have any integrity. Fear of prosecution is the only thing that will keep them in check next time.

Perhaps the people that imposed these stupid laws should be charged. Then the police that enforced such laws should be held to account. Shouldn’t be able to hide behind “I was told to”

Most of your fines are just illegal extortion. I've been fine for things which are not criminal and pose zero risk to the community. Criminals!!

Can I sue for being locked within 5km zone in Inner West Sydney while beachgoers were enjoying sun at Bondi? For my son loosing apprenticeship position? For being treated as criminal?

Watch out for mobile speed cameras coming to a street near you in force! 😂

Amazing how police can issue fines that aren't lawful. Disgraceful stuff

How many people have turned against Police for their rough, intimidating, impatient and at times violent responses applying these fine? And all for nothing, minus the enjoyment of Cops getting to smash the community.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

'A teenager who was fined $1652 for going on a driving lesson with her mum during the coronavirus lockdown has been hit with another penalty, despite police admitting they were wrong.' The covid science.

Martial law was never declared.

Some of us are capable of using more than 2 brain cells to function & we knew this would all fall down in the end! Yes I know it's taking time but the truth of all things eventually bubbles to the surface no matter how much the filth wish to keep it hidden!

Unaustralian

_Freelander Now it's time for the media to stop hyperventilating over a cold and stop pushing propaganda

Why shouldn’t these people that did the wrong thing be fined?

id settle for an apology

Another 'conspiracy theory' proven true.... NoPandemicAmnesty

And yet, the lame-stream media, including ABCNews , pushed this agenda for the entire time. 'Do as your told, or you'll risk a fine' ... (paraphrasing) When will the media also apologise for getting it wrong and adding to the segregation & division

Justice always wins

It’s time people starting supporting people , not organisations , not govt , not media , not fear based mandates and not just the covid scam, enough division….go to the beach ffs

$3000 fine for sitting on a park bench.

Because C0V1d is invalid! 🤨

And clog up the courts even more. No wonder the judges aren’t all there. Broke the law, pay the fine. COVID19

An apology would be nice

You beauty! I argued this myself. No -one listened!

tee hee

Lab study shows next COVID-19 mutation could be more dangerousThe study at the lab that first identified the omicron strain, indicates that the COVID-19 pathogen could continue to mutate and a new variant may cause more severe illness. Broken record. Why would covid suddenly become more virulent? Just let it go. Most of the population has. People fear Covid coming back, like in china but virtually nobody fears getting sick with coronavirus.
