NSW Police rule out fines for Hillsong, Premier says youth camp event went against 'spirit of the rules'

Hillsong has apologised for giving the "perception" it wasn't playing its part in keeping NSW safe amid its huge COVID-19 outbreak.

Singing and dancing at large events presents a high risk of COVID-19 transmission, Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said, amidst an outbreak which has seen the state record tens of thousands of cases a day.While the church again defended the event in a statement on Friday, saying it was not similar to a music festival, it also apologised.

"If the legal teams believe that it was in breach of the public health order, then my expectation would be that a fine would be issued," he said.The premier joined a chorus of Australian music acts in saying he was shocked and outraged to see the footage."Even if technically it was within the rules, it certainly wasn't in the spirit of the rules.NSW Police earlier on Friday said police would liaise with organisers "to ensure future compliance".

NSW Health said in a statement on Thursday night it had requested Hillsong “immediately stop singing and dancing” at the camp being held in the Newcastle area, as it was in breach of the public health order.

Reason hillside got NO FINE WAS SCOMO MORRISON IS A MEMBER OF THIS CHURCH 😡😡😡😡😡 GRRRRRRRR Another Liberal/National favour for the boys. When is favouritism for mates going to stop

Weak!

Morrison again making it clear to Domestic Parrot that his wish should override NSW law.

All participants MUST be fine to learn that you should not brake the law, and the organiser MUST be heavily fine because they just laughed at the National orders and ignore all health protocols.

Of course there is not fines because is Morrison church and police doesn’t do any investigation

pastordudley 👀

yabbietol Shows BradHazzard and Dom_Perrottet have lost control of their Government Legislation, if they can't enforce their own Health Regulations. The tail is wagging the dog!

Don't fine them jail them or deport them.

Everyone mad at people for having a good time hahah wow

A politically protected pox party?

Rules are rules....unless of course.

Pathetic response. If it was another group not associated with smirko’s mates, they’d have the book thrown at them. The performing arts establishment should be outraged. auspol

Dom_Perrottet DonkeyDom Domicron state govt. as useless and incompetent as ScottMorrisonMP SlowMo federal govt. Both are dead men walking

Cult

News for the Dom last time I looked in Scripture you are not GOD and you do not have command of how GOD wants his own to worship Him, Check the WOG “Dance before the Lord” “Sing before the Lord” stick to commerce before butting on the house of GOD dp

Typical 'Wet lettuce' response to something the LNP knew was happening, as many of them are hillsongers.

Joke!
