The comments are hilarious 😂 😂 😂 she's practising her freedom of religion and doing her job 🤷‍♂️ what you do

They choose to do it, so why the complaining?

Just their religion, so what?

Oh for fuck sake. They make up s fraction of the population. Why do we get bombarded with near daily muslim good news stories. Buddhists are more of the pop where is their daily abc story?

Maybe a special subsidy for them would be a good idea? It could take their mind off being hungry

We all are dip s*t !!!!! Why narrow it down to one religion

ABC narrative. White people bad. Brown people good.

ABC NARRATIVE

I doubt any christians have fasted since about 1420.

With freedom, comes personal responsibility.

I think fasting ( short or long one ) is opportunity to build up our immune system & it’s not challenge during Covid19 .

Cant wait to receive sub standard care from a self starving nurse.

Ohhhh, bring violin...... crocodile tears...Who cares

And that’s News ? FFS.

Banks deferring dividends. Movie releases are deferred. So are footy matches. Our lives are on hold. Surely Allah understands and fasting can wait too? Does the regular praying during day occur when lives need to be saved stop until emergency is over?

No one is forcing them to fast neither is anyone forcing them to work either. If they are not comfortable with any, they can do away with it. I don't hear you complaining about Christians fasting during Lenten season (period) as you are presently doing.

My heart bleeds

Coronavirus was a reason Chantelle walked out of prison on bail - ABC NewsWhile no Australian state or territory has made the call to release inmates early because of the coronavirus, COVID-19 is being considered in bail applications, including in the case of Chantelle Baker.
