A number of elderly bus passengers have been unwittingly caught up in Queensland's tough border restrictions because they "spent an hour stretching their legs" in Sydney.Graham McKerlie, 78, says he merely sat in a bus transit centre for an hourThe travellers arrived by bus at the Queensland-New South Wales border checkpoint at Coolangatta this morning, but were told by authorities that it was the end of their journey.
Chief Superintendent Mark Wheeler said Mr McKerlie was questioned by officers and discovered that he'd come from a COVID-19 hotspot. He said he was told he would have to quarantine for 14 days, but was unsure whether he could do so in his own home.Police became concerned when they noticed Mr McKerlie was short of breath.
Hope they are Ok ...the man was very upset
Send them to Nauru
Shut up slaves - your government loves you and cares for you. DO NOT QUESTION. OBEY.
The cops questioning McKerlie don’t seem too concerned about potential exposure being so close to him with no masks.
The CCP Virus can be finished by hydroxychloroquine, zinc and azithromycin . Please put those drugs Over The Counter to save more lives. No one will be safe if WHO,Politicians,medias still keep lying.
Why were they even trying to travel to Queensland? Are they all suffering from dementia?
Hasn’t seen her son for so many years ? Why ?
Non essential travel in pandemic. Just because they are elderly doesnt mean they can break rules. The bus company should have pointed out the rules, these people were obvious didnt understand them.
Fair call - but why are NRL teams still allowed to move between QLD and NSW? And don’t tell me about their bubbles !
Non-essential travel during a global pandemic with known border restrictions...what did they expect?!
Out.. get out... go far far away...
Punishment for generic rules from so called experts! CCPVirus Australia you are nothing short of CCP sycophants!
If it had been a 28yo, he would've screamed blue bloody murder about 'the young people of today not respecting the law, and thinking everything is to be handed to them on a silver platter, They wouldn't know what hard was, the bunch of lazy little layabouts.'
It’s a spot. Send him back. Who catches a bus that far anyway $49 airfares are available.
Fair enough
