😡🤬🤮

She should be charged and sent back and have to pay the cost associated with extra testing crimeagainstcitizens lockherup

Tourists should be renamed Terrorists

Forget quarantine, solitary in jail

I want to thank this woman for reminding Australia that until we are vaccinated, no one is immune to lockdowns as our premiers seem to only accept 0 cases

Can't Victorians stay in their own state.

They visited a hotspot then knowingly decided to deceive QLD border restrictions, knowingly breached VIC lockdown restrictions and visited multiple areas with people vulnerable populations in NSW all while being aware they could have had covid. Disgraceful

Her partner, the one she spent hours a day for days on end in a car with, didn't catch it. She's clearly not a significant virus shedder, not sure this is a very high risk to anyone in NSW or QLD?

Just get vaccinated ffs

We must have an election coming up! The tone change against the Labor party is palpable in Australia’s private media rn. smh theage have really turned it on in the last 6 months...Which would be fine if they weren’t at the same time ignoring ScottMorrisonMP & LiberalAus drama

Right here we go, now all you media being so negative about lockdown in Victoria your actions & repulsive carry on, could be responsible for ppl believing the lockdown doesn’t & shouldn’t apply to them so off they go on their holiday ThisisNotJournalism auspol victorialockdown

Fine or jail them!

I’m surprised she’s even fronted up for a test. Maybe she got scared.

These people deserve to be named and shamed

Has she only had one test?

A pair of orange overalls for this princess and a sledgehammer to start making big ones into small ones.

Victorians (thanks to their government)

How can you leave Melbourne during a lockdown? Wasn’t the Qld border closed to Vic? Can’t understand how this was allowed?

This is a crock of shit. STOP GETTING TESTED AND COVID GOES AWAY

and this is why we can't have nice things!

Beggars belief.

They should be both locked up and denied medical help. Let them rot.

Bruh if they had tried to pull this shit in WA she would have been arrested at the border. Say what you want about old mate Marky Mark but he'll put the fear of God in you if you f*ck about.

Such good news. You with catch Covid or get a vaccinated. It’s time to open up and face the world head on.

Wow, uh, she really went around.

'..... failure to comply with the Chief Health Officer's directive could result in court action.' YES PLEASE!! NO EXCEPTION!

Uggghhhh irresponsible to leave the state after lockdown started. Did she not even get tested to ensure she was negative before setting off? Did she have to visit so many places if she didn’t know if she was neg or not? So many questions. She has made a fool of herself

How selfish of the whole family. Surely the VIC plates were a give away? Did no one notice the car all through NSW and into QLD? At the petrol station? At the accommodation?

Hell will hath no fury like a woman who won't be able to see Hamilton in 10 days time because of a snap Sunshine Coast lockdown. (Me. I'm the woman.)

Fucking well done what?

What I am most gobsmacked about is no Bunnings site listed!

Jail

Where are their faces ? We want to see some photos , same way you have done with the two girls last year

Lock them up and throw away the key. Obviously don't care.

Ol dictator dan the super spreader, strikes again. But naturally there'll be no 'SA outbreak = state wide Victorian lockdown', fear campaigning from VictorianCHO

My guess ? An anti Dan attitude and a Murdoch reader and or /ch7/9 watcher.

Will be interesting to see how this woman ties in to the Mel clusters- we were not told about any primary contacts who had gone AWOL. Poses a risk of unknown third cluster!

Bring on lockdown

Well ain't she a bloody bright spark

I wonder where she contracted it in Melbourne?

1 1 1 1 1 🙄🤒

Is she from Melbourne, or a Queensland resident?

Just another selfish person, doesn't matter from which state. They are selfish and made a choice to do do what they wanted to do. Hope it backfires on them enormously. Selfish pricks

We’re all trying to do the right thing in Melbourne & then you get idiots like these two that have done the wrong thing while we’re in lockdown!! Hope they Charge them!!

So she traveled while experiencing Covid symptoms? Seriously?

Hopefully she had delta version

The Merlinoclusterfuck spreads to Qld. Watch Annastacia wet herself qldpol vicpol

Anyone know where she stopped in regional Vic or NSW? Didn’t hear one journo ask or anyone from the Qld presser mention it.

Seriously? She should be fined and charged for leaving Victoria and being sneaky 😡

China's epidemic prevention and control is really great

Was it Karen ?

I'm waiting for the pictures and personal information for this woman to leak out from the media just like the two girls last year.

VictorianCHO so they travel infected through the regions but the regions aren't getting locked down?

How exactly did she get into QLD?
