said they "will allege the man did not wear a face mask while in public at Fairy Bower, Manly Beach" on the morning of Wednesday, September 8.Police have fined former Prime Minister Tony Abbott $500, after a member of the public photographed him without a mask while out in the Sydney suburb of Manly."But I'm not going to challenge the fine because I don't want to waste the police's time any further.
"I never thought that dobbing and snitching was part of the Australian character and I think that the sooner we can leave this health police state mindset behind us, the better for everyone."New South Wales Health Minister Brad Hazzard was asked to comment on the incident at today's coronavirus press conference."It does not matter who you are, whatever station you have in life, there are orders, nobody likes to have these orders but it is to keep everybody safe.
That is what people do!'🕴️♂️🕴️
Hard to believe that a person like TA could ever get into the highest office in our land
I bet he won't pay
Alot of other people on that beach not wearing a mask and not social distancing, and standing around talking without a mask on. I bet who ever took the photo wasn't wearing a mask either
Dobing snitching and police state OMFG! Comming from P.M. of 'Stop the boats', robodebt, welfare-dob-hotline, drug-tests-4-dole-sceme, & the-intervention... That is the biggest pot-kettle incident I've ever seen!!!!!
I never thought selfish lying masogynist disease-spreading leering snipeing dishonest bullying toxic racist corporate money-grabbers like him were part of the Australian community and culture, so its time we ditch the political-class-pollies and clean up the politics&corporates.
Does he realise he was dobbed in BECAUSE he was such an inept prime minister? As a 'leader' in the community people look to him to do the right thing. His failure to do so, reflect how little he cares for his community.
$500 is a joke, he's a former PM. Needs to lead by example, should've been $5000.
This will be you ScottMorrisonMP
Totally agree 👍👌
Really says the torpedo of distraction of Australia’s manufacturing industry , poor Abbot
Sucked in, but hello you suppose to be a role model, bloody hello should of been more then $500 bloody idot, sick of rule breakers, i want my dam life back NOW!!!!
The man has more ethics and 'Aussie spirit' in his little finger than those in the media who deride and basically troll him. Sick of public servants and media who think they are above all else.
They fine this guy and let all the other flops in the East walk around with no masks
Can’t abide the guy but it’s a tad ridiculous that he gets a fine when the hundreds sat on beaches this weekend won’t be getting the same.
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Fascists dont like rules
If this was his response 😂 how many rules was he breaking when he was a prime minister 😳 🤣
Countries lost the plot dobbing in for not wearing a mask Absolute crap not the aussie way
Isn't it against the law taking a photo without consent of a private person or even public person? breaching privacy.
Loser
Why has his government brought that type of culture in to the Australian workplace
but PM goes to spend Father's Day at Tax Payer's expense and takes photos with others without social distancing or masks... fine? $0
Good, same rules for all of us!
Everyone on the beaches also not wearing masks that day, and days before, and days after. Not fans fir abbott but be fair !!!
Didn't Mr Abbott engage in 'dobbing' and 'snitching' when he was a politician?
'Dobbing and snitching' is politics 101 and Tony is a well versed practitioner
Abbott is like scomo he thinks he’s above everyone else.
Rather Tony than Scotty
You are 100% Tony ,How is it transmitted when it can't be passed by walking past somebody as Nick Coatsworth kept telling everyone ! So yep the the police and health services have made Australia a country of dobbers
What a joke
Tell us you’re a dinosaur without telling us…
So this is where Australia is at. People dobbing each other in for not wearing masks. Lol. What a joke.
Idiot
Let’s blame someone else for not wearing a mask.
But I thought Tony encouraged people to dob in Dole bludgers ( not my word) and suspicious activity
Never confuse accountability for snitching. You know who hates dobbers, guilty folks that have something to keep secret.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 rebel with a cause he a felon now
It would have been more honourable to tell Tony to remind him to wear a mask. He would have been embarrassed, if that is an effect you want
lol, this isn't 'merica.
Tony Abbott is right.
More arrogant behaviour, how is he any different from any of us, the virus doesn’t care if you’ve been a PM or not, just ask Boris
This has literally made my day. I ❤️ Aussies 😂😂😂 Whoever dobbed on Abbott needs to be shouted at the pub when they open again 👏👏👏
Amen, snitch culture is encouraged
Says the guy who created the 'dob a dealer' initiative when PM. Abbott's the biggest snitch of them all.
Sook! payup
If a rule applies to me, it applies to Tony too. CryBaby
And as ALWAYS people like you who are former politicians think you can do whatever you like ! While the rest of us follow the law!! Shame on you!! Give up all your benefits you get from us your not worth it !!! SHAME!
Exactly why he was discarded as pm
La ley es para todos.
I’m no longer proud to be an Australian. In the RFS I’ve seen this man put his life in danger, spending weekends in his own time volunteering helping communities at their low point. Mainstream media you are sick bastards. JulianLeeser take note.
They don't like you.
Miserable gronks
Time to rob in other low life politicians. Like Abbott and Turnbull.
Another coalition former 'leader' wondering why he is no longer in the role.
Dobbing typifies the Australian culture
Of course , he has the right to get sick and pass it, which I hope he hasn’t , mask up, it’s there for a reason .
All about personal responsibility, right? If you don’t break the rules, you won’t get fined.
$500 fine is an insult to everyone suffering through Covid and the lockdowns.
No comment.
Never a truer word said.
Maybe he should have just done as asked instead of behaving like an entitled rich guy. Oh wait
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Glass houses HonTonyAbbott Maybe time to drop the Hon. bit eh?
Have you seen the pictures of Coogee today? What a joke
Who cares
Because he’s a Christian you mean.
By Abbott’s standards it appears that acting to protect your community isn’t part of the Australian character either.
All government and media driven, turn citizens against each other. Promote it with cash or other prize incentives. Divide and conquer.👍
It’s about time ! He’s been flouting the Covid regulations since they started . Instead of acting like a naughty school boy he needs to be a responsible citizen and lead by example .
Lol you still crying about the knife in your back ? Do the right thing and you won’t get fined! We get fined you are not above the law !! GladysB & nswpolice requested to dob people in take up with them !
Stick an onion in it, mate. You lack character altogether.
Agree. Good on you
I’m tipping it will be waived for past good behaviour as is everyone right
How bad is that!I hate people sometimes
Agreed well said Tony. Let's end this tyranny
Dobbing & snitching unAustralian? But backstabbing is totally OK ay?
Regrets about his legacy of sniching & dobbing hey...
Stupid is stupid. Never change.
Snitches get stitches Tone.
Good broke the law
$500AUD just like an entrée on Tony’s table
I agree with him.
Thanks, Tony mate for returning, the shout to the Australian taxpayer.
Not so easy now he’s just a civilian with no parliamentary protection. Deal with it Abbott.
This takes me back to when Abbott was just a wee minister in a gov that started the whole dobbing regime -
'I never thought that dobbing and snitching was part of the Australian Character' it's only not part of the Australian Character when you're not the one doing it and and getting into trouble. if the shoe was on the other foot however.....
I can't tell if I want to agree with abbot or laugh cause he got called out.
2015, Tony Abbott. 'Dob in a Dealer'.
Coming from the SLIMIEST PM we had before SMIRKO!!👎🤪👎😜👺👺
Orrrrrrrrrrr you could just follow the rules and where a mask genius 🙄
It is a hallmark of authoritarian states to denounce colleagues and report on neighbours. As a former politician I suppose Abbott is fair game but I don’t think this is a healthy trend for the country.
I bet you it was Turnbull who dobbed him in the low dog….
Someone pass that man an onion and give him a real reason to cry.
I hope they also going to fine ScottMorrisonMP for his trip to Sydney
We do not snitch on family, friends, mates and people who have not lied to us and ripped us off
It wasn’t even COVID related. People just don’t want to see his face..
All well and good intentions…but where the f*ck are they when bondibeach is packed like sardines?
HAHAHHAHAHAH
$500 is a joke.
Thank god he got the chop
He killed a thousand grannies. Monster.
