Video has emerged of large queues of people ignoring physical distancing rules after arriving at Sydney Airport today.The person who filmed the video claimed Australian Border Force officers said biosecurity were responsible to queue managementA union said the airport environment posed an infection risk for passengers and workers
It flies in the face of strong messaging from the Federal Government to maintain physical distancing to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Ban plane travel in or out today. It is time
What do you expect? Not many flights and chaos is alive and well, bloody Sydney, no doubt delayed? Their favourite word?
A kick in the guts doesn't actually hurt that much. Why not say 'a stomp on the big toe' instead?
Send to Scott Morrison - leave in isolation for a month to make such they all clear - unbelievable We do our part but they can come back and you bet ignore isolation rules what’s the bet? Regardless of the fine it’s our health at risk and they don’t care.
Government needs to enforce our social distancing and self isolation rules now, especially in circumstances like this.
Fine them to teach them that these rules have to be taken seriously🤬
Unbelievable stuff up yet again by NSW. Letting us all down.
Sooo what is the staff doing to have them stand apart. Personally even under normal conditions I'd say to person behind to keep distance. For privacy sake don't want someone looking over my shoulder
Yet the cruise ships get all the attention
Why is the border still open? Given Corona is now everywhere why aren’t inbound flights diverted to Christmas Island? coronavirusaus
Send them to Christmas Island.
Send them back
Behaviour of the airport security goons was a real worry here - they think that 'biosecurity' is somebody else's job, and that they are justified in stopping people uncovering the truth of the stuff-ups when order is not maintained.
One would think someone has the balls to step up and take some responsibility if there was a bag full of drugs
I thought no new arrivals
Oh look at centrelink line at the airport
I think health failing to contain but also many level of governments as well to this day, i know they are the frontlines and should not be blamed bcos its not helping them or us. Should Australia after this be on just under the one federal law across all states!
Gutless scomo Close the country down. 4 weeks mandatory quarentine with the army to enforce it so at the end of it we can get bat to our normal life
JonathanHair We still don't have official oversight of arrivals and the taking of temperatures? No wonder I've heard people say they felt safer in Bali. Our organisational skills are up the creek, regardless of authoritarian new laws & billions on security!
You didn't mention that everyone in the line now have to self isolate for 14 days. Tell the full story ABC.
Enforce the rules.... Why can't Sydney airport do their job?
Get the tape out and mar out the 2x2
same scene in departures on Saturday
People are just dumb, just like sheep. No matter what you tell them our show them . You wonder why has a species we have lasted so long
Its okay blame the backpackers at bondi Double fucking standards This is how i know this shit is set up The whole corona thing has an agenda
Infuriating to say the least... where are the authorities? Where are the signs? Here we are doing all we can to protect ourselves and this happens! I hope they put themselves into self isolation and hopefully they will be monitored by the appropriate authorities.
I am really worried because l cannot comprehend the lack of authority
We have been aware since January that international flights and cruise ships are a haven for COVID2019 Stupid selfish people risking brave hero hospital staff and comunity should not be allowed in! StayHomeSaveLives Shutdown Covid_19australia COVIDIOT
Don’t blame the people blame the Cth govt and the Border force it’s their job-another example of their incompetence -Sack Dutton
As former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating said: we are the “arse end of the earth”... what a fucking circus dumbanddumber COVID19
Is that NSWHealth OR AusBorderForce who take responsibility of ensuring new arrivals are respecting 1.5m distancing and self quarantine rule? Has GladysB made an effort coordinating anything?
Pretty sure the response will be throwing someone to jail for illegal filming in the Border Check area
bjtaus Meanwhile the search for PeterDutton_MP goes on...
ha ha, I *knew* border farce would be all over the recording but ignore the crowding.
what do u expect from the sort of idiots that choose to fly around the world at this time?
If I was one of the returning Wuhan evacuees who were made (in shame) to stay on Christmas island before coming onto mainland Australia , I would be pretty pissed off by now. It's like there's one rule for Asians and one for everyone else
Good luck with 80% compliance in order to slow this thing down Australia.
rather than winge 'how the government does not take care of your heath', take your health in your own hands and put a mask on.
Border Farce
FatherBob They're not huddled, they're just queuing.
JonathanHair After passing the boarder I asked 4 boarder force staff why no temperature checks, why no Coronavirus investigations to passengers? Response was ‘mate these are just people coming home.’ ‘Coming home maybe infected‘ was my reply. UNBELIEVABLE! God help us all.
Furious!
JonathanHair John, I flew in on the 21st March and boarder force didn’t ask a single person one Coronavirus related question, didn’t take one temperature of a passenger. I find this ironic that now it’s the passengers that are to blame. Why aren’t they in the line up area informing people?
Are people too punch-drunk & jet lagged to KNOW WHAT SOCIAL DISTANCING is? Do they really not know AT ALL what it is? Or, at the end of long flights home, are they resistant to the idea that they may be infected? Do they hug & kiss their friends / family out in the terminal?😱
GladysB BradHazzard ScottMorrisonMP GregHuntMP Anyone else reminded of similar scenes in US Airports? Frightening...auspol ScottyFromMarketing
Obviously, 'coronavirus doesn't effect SYD visitors/residents': Bondi RubyPrincess hillsongconvention sydneyairport. covid19
So the airlines only sold every second seat? Not likely.
For goodness sake stop arguing who's responsibility this ridiculous circumstance is. Just STOP IT. If military presence is needed just put it in place.
Are the airlines practicing social distancing with seat allocation?
Can some branch of the government auspol sort this shit out! It's a complete joke that we are being scolded daily by PM, CMO, Premiers et al - but no-one is able to ensure the BIGGEST avenue of new infections is better managed. Who is responsible Get your shit together
Shouldn’t allow any flights into Australia. Beyond stupid.
Stupid. Those are adults and they should've know better.
Border force is a shambles.
I kept my distance from the people in front of me in the line for screening but the seniors behind were practically touching me. It wasn't as if it was going to make the queue move any faster.
essential travel only well ok then see how well that's working out...I guess holidays are essential too many regardless of current situation obviously...🙄
ScottMorrison StopTheSpread
It's all the poor bloody public's fault. No conflicting info delivered, enforcement is strict and our State and Fed 'governments' doing a great job...Oh, hang on... FFS 🙄 auspol LyingNastyParty borderfarce ScottyfromMarketing COVID19au Gaslighting

How many fiascos before Dutton resigns?
Someone should just walk along in a hazmat suit slapping stickers on their face saying 'I'm stupid and Selfish'
My quarantined partner just returned from Vietnam, where he was impressed by that govt's swift & effective response to COVIDー19. So he thinks he's low-risk. But his biggest risk was transit to Syd: waiting in Melb airport for 5 hours & breezing thru customs with the throng.
Only way to work is total shutdown
This is bad, really bad, come on! Stop blame each other and get something done.
Totally inexcusable and dangerous.
Even Bunnings have worked out how to mark Xs on their checkout lines with electrical tape.
Nobody can cater for the stupidity of people. You can only tell people the same thing time & again before throwing your hands in the air. They're adults, they've heard if they listen or they see themselves as infallible
Start handing out on the spot fines. They’ll soon spread out or leave.
Maybe they are all hairdressers?
Go to your local hardware store there are people everywhere.
Imagine if someone was brown though...
Camp
Here we go . People policing people . People saying to self ( I have to bloody do it , then so do you ) it’s a step closer to reporting your mother & having her taken away to a corona virus ‘refugee !’
More like appropriate measures by authorities, (Border Farce, Health etc), not taken to screen and ensure correct protocols are followed. They're all to busy passing the buck to do their jobs. Fixed it for you ABC.
And I bet many will ignore the rules all the way home and during the quarantine period. Also ABC, ALLOW COMMENTS ON YOUTUBE!
Please at least check the temperature. You will see there surely are people already showing symptoms
You voted for this remember?,you know in the election where you decided that children fleeing war torn countries were more of a threat to Australia than Fire Ants ,Asbestos laden building products and visa jumpers arriving by plane. This is your Boarder Force totally fkn useless
This is not the border forces job. The border force's job is purely to 'stop the boats' (unless they are dangerous to us)
This is infuckingsane. How are we supposed to put any trust in any of our organisations that are supposed to be protecting the people of this country. Top down its a fuck up. And those left to deal with the clean up on the front line underpaid and overworked.
WHAT the farkity, fark URGH. Hello NYC figures in two weeks 😢😢 sigh covid19australia
What do you have to say about this Gladys? And btw, where is Peter Dutton hiding
SHUT IT DOWN NOW FFS
If we could rely on people to generally comply with rules and laws, we wouldn't really need a parliament or a justice system. We need to be compelling compliance here. MAKE people behave differently which requires more than the PM simply saying it's 'not okay'.
Does it even matter (irony) at this point in their journey? Was it possible for any to maintain a 1.5mtr distance from other passengers during those flight? I doubt it
What the fuck is going on in that State🤷🏻♂️
Maybe the headline should be rephrased to reflect that this is the responsibility of Border Force!!
Gotta be NSW Health. Absolutely cannot be the Border Force's fault because as everyone knows they are infallible
That's how it is in the supermarket cashiers too 😒
cunzrhere
We're doing it all wrong aren't we?
not border force's problem apparently
