Another establishment figure thought he could flout the law ,at least he got caught , many haven’t

The gas lead recovery going beautifully. How much did we pay him?

14 days quarantine coming from QLD? Western Australia is a joke and an embarrassment.

Exmouths airbase is run by the military, how did he manage to land there?

80% of Australians have been brainwashed into believing the governments & media fear mongering campaign scaring them into thinking they'll die if they get covid when not 1 healthy Australian has died from the disease. 55,000+ Aussies die each year from 5 chronic diseases.

He is the former advisory board chair person that no longer exists as of May 2021. He is still the current chairman of Perth Airport for goodness sake. Stop looking for a story that makes it political ABC

WA is an utter disgrace, Labor hacks and their police chronies on a rampage based solely on some clause in some regulation of theirs, entirely disconnected from the real world out here. COVID is no excuse, it doesn't infect people 100s of miles away; they're just plain corrupt.

Follow the rules smart enough to know them.

Is that why he’s former adviser

How long would this helicopter journey have taken?
