Victoria Police revealed seven people were NOT home during random COVID-19 spot checks today. 9News

No one has yet been fined for breaching self-isolation quarantine obligations.

Although police have warned failing to abide by the state's new quarantine measures could result in a $25,000 fine for individuals, or a $100,000 fine for businesses. "We haven't fined anyone yet because people we have found that haven't been complying haven't understood it, haven't got it, deeply apologetic and they're doing the right thing now," Comm. Ashton said.Two police officers have tested positive to coronavirus in Melbourne's eastern and southern suburbs.

Comm. Ashton said 400 police members were either taking carers' leave or isolating at home as a result of potential contact with people diagnosed with COVID-19. "They are obviously receiving the treatment and staying in isolation themselves and we're trying to make sure we look after their welfare as well."

Probably all down at St Kilda Beach...

Sent them to jail for 2 weeks and fine them. It's literally putting people's lives in danger.

Fine the arsholes, and lock them up

What’s wrong with these people are they intentionally trying to spread the virus!

Not surprising.Selfish FOOLS Need prison islotation set up Christmas Island SkyNewsAust newscomauHQ 10NewsFirstQLD 7NewsGoldCoast ScottMorrisonMP inside_canberra canberratimes ABCPolitics sunriseon7 60Mins australian GuardianAus Independent SBSNews Newsweek smh

There you go, cannot rely on self isolate

Find them, then restart their 14 days in one of the Immigration Detention Centers and Fine them what it costs to keep them in Detention.

Fine them

Yep just play stupid... apologize... case closed

Irresponsible and selfish people.

They also went to my old share house. Which is not the isolation location I listed at Sydney airport arrivals hall. Their system fails for people who’ve been living abroad and aren’t at their drivers licence address anymore. Am isolating properly though.

Why do these people do this? Have they not noticed the COVID2019 crisis? It’s pure selfishness! Please, if you have recently been overseas, or are feeling ill, selfisolate

😪😪

I trust fines were issues....$20,000 wasn't it?

Where are the so called fines?

I am a nurse who will be looking after covid patients for next few months . I would feel better about this if the community helped out . Stay at home .

The honour system doesn’t work? What a surprise!

What are those people thinking? Don’t they realise they are a threat to the community? It is not a joke but everyone should treat it very serious and obey the rule. What they have done really makes me sick.

That’s going well then.....😔

Bloody dingo datkin87 Corris

This is why hospitals are ordering body bags by the thousands...wake up you muppets StayHomeSaveLives

Probably out looting and trashing Air BnB,s

I’ll save you a click: “We haven't fined anyone yet because people we have found that haven't been complying haven't understood it, haven't got it, deeply apologetic and they're doing the right thing now,' Comm. Ashton said.” —— they should then be fined for being stupid!

Deport the Chinese mungrels

So irresponsible

Well then it should be off to jail for these offenders!

14 days jail

Find them. Fine then. It's the only way dumbasses will learn

Name & shame if they’re disobeying the law 😡😡

Why weren’t the police wearing gloves and masks then ? This is all total bullshit

gloves78 Actually enforce the 20k$ fines which they won't

LOCK THEM UP LOCK THEM UP !!!! They will be murders if they know they are sick and are infecting people

Bastards 😡

Yeah, says 9 news. Reputable source. fakenews

So $20k fine each for them? I think that’s VIC are doing

tyrelle123 Grubs don't give a shit, hope they name 'n' shame them

GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL

Should be arrested. Or deported.

Name the morons

Any of them are confirmed cases?

Lock em up if they dont comply, jail time!!

Send them to jail fqr endangering lives.

Weld the doors shut!

jail

Disgusting !!!

Charge them

Fine them $16,000 each

Australia should put digital hand strap on ppl who required self isolated.

Desex them so they can't breed.

Electronically tag all those that are supposed to be in isolation or quarantine. When has self imposed house arrest ever worked? Any precedents? A she'll be right attitude coupled with complacency and sheer bloody mindedness and selfishness will be our undoing🤷‍♂️

Not surprised at all.

Singapore send text msgs with a link to people in quarantine. They click the link & it sends their location. They back it up with random checks. Australia is so far behind this thing & it would be funny if people weren’t dying because of Morrison’s inaction. SCOvid19

Weld their doors!

Surely there is a cruise ship with their name on it

How’s the gov controlling those travellers? I’m really concerned; airport train is still running.Yesterday I saw a couple at central station with three luggage, they both just got off the train without using masks. Where’re the authorities? Stop airport train🙏🏻 (Brisbane)

Jail cell - that will ensure they isolate

Gave the wrong address my ass.

You see LuvsParraEels this is why fools should be fined

So they ARE going to get a HUGE fine aren’t they?

Lock them up then!!!

Announce their details。let people know who spread the virus to Australia

Charge them, they have had enough warning- no excuses such as “i am confused” or “not sure what is going on” bullshit....

Is there a detention center those seven people could be isolated in until their 14 days is up

What could possibly go wrong?

Of course they aren’t. Don’t be naive.

30k fine on the spot. fuck these clowns!!

🤦🏼‍♂️

Why the hell aren’t they fining them? Ignorance is no excuse and seriously if they’ve given the wrong address they should be fined for that too

vanOnselenP is busy working out how he can ping this on ScoMo.

Send them home

Bet you nothing happens to them

It’s so easy to play “dumb” and pretend you don’t understand! No excuses! They need to be fined!!,

They should be locked up, not us

Lock 🔐 the bastards up simple

BuckinghamJN

People haven’t understood it? Ffs, it’s pretty clear....

guestyracing Did they check the obituaries in the paper?

Should them be wearing some PPE when visiting homes? Does not look like it from the photo.

Wtf these ppl seriously disgraceful

potcalling Shock horror, governments message isn't useful because unrest it's insanely confusing🌷⚘🤣😎😂🤣. The police are dumber than the government😎😂🤣😂😎

I don’t know what’s worse the virus or the stark realization that many Aussies are selfish turds. coronavirusaustralia AustraliaUnite PeopleAreTheProblem

These people should be bloody dragged by the hair and locked up! This is obvious self quarantine does not work!!!

could fine never do no follow through (unless they're smoking weed or hooning 🙄) so these jet setters continue to disregard rules...

Asians?

Why are they so stupid?😡😡😡😤😤😤

Public health risk. Not hard to get people!!!!

I’m sorry... no fines as they apologised or didn’t understand? REALLY? What’s so hard about staying home? 🤦🏻‍♀️ such bullshit if you ask me!!

Execute them.

Fine

FFS!! It’s easier to train a dog! Stay the hell inside. Hope these ppl have a nice fine waiting for them!!

Be like North Korea. Take them out the back and dispose of them. They wanna put others at risk. Dispose of them

The police know what to do. No excuses and no letting off a single offender.

johnmwking Can you do an investigation now, about the politicians not obeying the Constitution 1901 & how it hasn't been obeyed for many years, yet the Constitution 1901/Common law, is the supreme law of the land. Thank you in advance. God Bless.

Seriously! WTF is wrong with these ppl! So many ppl getting infected some have & will die! Ppl have lost jobs, business closes & the economy in the shitter & these selfish pricks can’t self isolate & potential 2 infect more! Disgusting!

trotsracing Was anybody really surprised by this?

johnmwking Prosecute:Behaviour endangered life is the charge

Aren’t these people going to be fined $20,000 each?

Well that's working well then! fuckingidiots Lockdownaustralia

They were getting their hair cut

In times like these I have zero problems with the cops bashing them.

Useless. Are we in a pandemic or not? Are these fools penalised in any way? The national cabinet can close industries down but can't enforce anything? Toughen up government.

Maybe it’s time to lock them up. Also hit them with a big fine. Obviously they have no regard for people’s safety 😡

🤬🤬

RealDanSloan Do what the Kiwis are doing to all foreigners not doing their 14 days self isolation. Deporting them on the next plane out of NZ with a nice hefty fine to boot or 5yr ban from NZ with no excuses and probably a sore head as well when they hit door on the way

Shoot them. How many people are they going to kill as they passed it on?

Total crime against Humanity... Prison for them

WTF?

Straight to Christmas Island for 14 days.

I’d bet there are a few (more) of the 1% of our wealthiest among them....they don’t understand that the rules apply to them also.

Morons

deport them

BuckinghamJN Nail their door shut

Forced quarantine and fines

Let the legal process be put into effect

BuckinghamJN This is what north head quaratine station was uses for...

My mum said the dog park near hers is packed every day and everyone is interacting. I wish she would stop going and everyone else would stop too 😞

legalisetweed surely if we made it just auto jail time people would come to their senses

Shoot them on sight. Which part of 'you're all cattle now' didn't they understand? Renegades have no place in our collective.

Just lock the whole country down!

Find the mother fuckers, arrest them, detain them, then fine them to the full extent of the law. FFS

ScottMorrisonMP shutdownaustralia ffs. People are fucked. MANDATORY INFORCED quarantine for those infected. Spot fines for those not engaged in essential business. Do it now. Or the death toll is on your hands.

Some people are always going to do the wrong thing. It's baffling that they get caught, feign being deeply apologetic (they're only sorry they got caught), and then the police decide not to issue a fine. Do we want to flatten this curve or not?!

JohnEva73484270 Surprise, surprise 🙄 DanielAndrewsMP VictorianLabor

OzSpam 🤷‍♀️

Find them and shoot them problem solved

Throw them in the can

Good kneecapping will cut that shit out.

Isolation form the community in a prison cell or detention centre.

Uh oh. Good effort VictoriaPolice

It would be more sensible if govt was more organised and allocated online home grocery delivery to these people, elderly and the disabled in the first place.

Who were they? where did they travel from? Can we assume they are immigrants? Details please?

Jail them.

Are VicPol still making exceptions for gangs?

FFS! What will it take for these idiots to realise that it's not JUST about them. This is for the GREATER good!!! Selfish pricks need to be fined HEAVILY. Hit them where it hurts, because apparently death isn't enough of a deterrent.

Shoot to kill.

How good is self isolation? It’s about as good as these industries that have the right to self regulation and continually cause harm and injury to workers.

Well done VIC Police. Let’s hope that doors knocked and In Isolation DO NOT assume that it’s ok to leave their house because police did a check. I’m hoping Police do revisit unexpectedly. They should carry the right to do so.

They could of been at work just saying 🤷‍♀️ i still have to work.

Perhaps they’re out having their hair done 🙄

Selfish ass apply to all nationality

Track them down and throw them in a cell for 14 days. They had a fucking obligation to properly quarantine. They chose not to. So now they should be MADE to.

i say there plenty more out there

And two gave wrong address 😂

guestyracing Plenty of people and kids still gathering at beaches on the Gold Coast, people using kids playgrounds and shopping centres still being utilised and not for essentials. I'd say we aren't far away from a lockdown as a result of those still not currently towing the line.

Selfish people I swear, not staying h one when they should...

these idiots will wreck it for all the others it will be come forced isolation. if caught not isolatating time should double and it is forced and with the fine. even if caught with one day to go.

Please put a BIG fine so they will learn how to cooperate!

Name and shame

WTF Australia, this is disgusting to know!

Can we just lock these idiots up until the virus has gone!!!

Lock them in a hotel & make them pay for it this placing our trust in people isn’t working

I sincerely hope they are going to charge them!

This is the problem, ppl themselves to blame no one else! Big fine will teach them how to listen 🤷‍♂️

Lock them up

They should be fined

They should all fined and sent to a detention centre until the threat passes. They clearly can't be trusted to do their part for the good of others. Selfish mongrels.

Pretty confusing out there, Government tells us to stay home. Store keepers to stay open, if customers are home. whats the point of being open?

25k fine each. C what they say. Then a suspended jail sentence. One more time then 25k again and then jail.

I am not surprised

Fine them big time

Here come $140k to Victoria coffees!

Lynch mob! Lynch mob! Let’s get ‘em! 🤪

i bet its Asians

Put the fuckers in jail

Naughty beggars!

Show them the full extent of the law
