A Victorian opposition frontbencher has launched a scathing attack at returned Aspen holiday makers and a man accused of drink-driving while under a quarantine order springst

A backlash greeted Melbourne holiday makers who returned from Aspen's ski resort and ignored advice to self-isolate.

Mr Smith said the Kew driver should be dealt with harshly if found guilty, as should others accused of avoiding isolation in Melbourne after being exposed to COVID-19."And whilst we're talking about throwing the book at people, I wholeheartedly endorse the comments by the federal Health Minister, Greg Hunt, about the individuals that have returned from Aspen, who allegedly breached rules with regards to social distancing, after getting off an international flight.

Many of the most affluent suburbs in Melbourne and Sydney now have the highest rates of infection. Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, where some of the Aspen crowd sought refuge, has also recorded more than 35 cases, triggering a fierce backlash from permanent residents on the coast. Mr Smith said social distancing was a strain for most people, and admitted that the distance rules were driving him "nuts", but said it was incumbent upon individuals and newly returned travellers to be diligent in following the rules."I've got mates who have come back from overseas. They've been cooped up inside for 10, 11, 12 days ... and these other flogs reckon they can go down the street, well you know, just because they feel like it," he said.

Mr Abercrombie and Mr Bongiorno need to tell the truth and be held responsible for their actions

Sorry, what’s a “Flog” ?

The sign is a massive fail too. Throw grammarly at them

And an investigation to find the poorly educated grammarian responsible for that sign at Sorrento

Simple let Vic Police take appropriate action against the reckless selfish & irresponsible individual and charge him to the letter of the law. Especially with so many overseas returnees in quarantine complaining & whinging life tough in a fully serviced hotel room & free med

Great work TimSmithMP 👍🏻

Mr Abercrombie needs to be held responsible for his selfish actions.

Swingers

so they should

haha a nobody
