Supposedly wealthy, well educated, Eastern suburbs population, yeah? Seems ya just can't fix 'STUPID' 😕

Racists - dam BLM terrorists! 😅🤦‍♂️

The Golden Shit is for eastern suburbs bogans with no class or imagination. Lame AF.

the pub should be fined and closed.

It Is OK 👌👌👌👌👌

Prepare yourself for a second wave NSW. With behaviour like this it won’t be long.

Should have bought their BLM signs

Prince Harry speaks about the uncomfortable history of The Commonwealth.

I pray Sydney don’t head into a second lockdown like Melbourne. It’s awful. ESP for the hospo sector. This is just stupidity. Stay home, don’t mingle like this virus is over!? COVIDIDIOTS

I see a “BLM” sign, so it’s ok. 👌

Covidiots

Celebrating

All I can say is how dumb can people be

Anyone contacted Solotel on how they were supposed to handle crowds like that with social distancing in mind?

So stupid

Miles Guo: We have 2000 documents to prove that the coronavirus is bio weapon made by CCP! theWhistleblowerMovement

Before long NSW will be locked up again as well.. People are stupid and need to be told.

*laughs in wa*

nah its OK, we live in a free country, this fascist bullshit 'meant' to protect us from a cold variant with a 99% survival rate is doing more damage to individuals, society & western culture in general than this weak ass virus could ever do. Wake up people FEAR is used to CONTROL

What can I say brain dead idiots take this covid 19 as a big joke FOOLS

Wersula Picture of Hobart city March April. not much different now yesterday had morning coffee well known establishment the tables so apart felt safe the staff so grateful but who knows the COVID19au will return may be no cases for nearly 2 months our air ports only allowed Tas

Just protesters

Here we go

Ooooh, scary coronavirus is going to get you, lmao!

the same people who shut the borders allowed this.

It was always going to happen complacency everywhere

Double Bay residents should be more classy than queueing outside an old pub

I can't wait to see a new spike in Sydney. How the wheels will turn and us Melbourians will show no sympathy whatsoever.

Why would so many people be wanting to go to that particular hotel on a random weeknight?

I hope they took the names and addresses of everyone in that queue

Yeah, this is basically the sort of thing that was going on in Melbourne. Good luck, guys. Ask your Victorian friends for Netflix binge recommendations when your lockdown comes.😉

Well we just had BLM protests so this means nothing

The Golden Sheaf Hotel...Vic ( Daniel Andrews) will get blamed for any spike in NSW...

New South Wales you're next. Get ready for lockdown

Hmmm, risk my health & that of my family to go to the most boring pub in Sydney with the most boring clientele & overpriced everything? No thanks!

DanielAndrewsMP fault?

Sydney will be in lockdown in two weeks. Guaranteed.

Disgraceful behavior Unless they were chanting BLM slogans while queuing, in which case science shows they are at not at risk. Pls make sure you report the full context abc. science

Why the fuck would anyone queue like this to get into a pub at any time, unless there was some sort of huge act playing? There are plenty of pubs around - go somewhere else.

Just goes to show there are inconsiderate and ignorant people everywhere!

That's OK - Laws don't apply to people in the Eastern Suburbs - Like when the beaches were closed 'These are our beaches'.

“Nobody was fined as a result” of course, they only hand out fines in Western Sydney

Nobody was fined because it’s a rich white suburb

NSW government should do testing on them, they will see results will be the some as in Victoria. Airborne virus is just like flu, it’s spread everywhere, some people get sick and some people don’t even know they have virus but never get sick.

Be smart. Don't be like us Victorians.

But those could be protesters! Why were they Ok, then?

Relax folks they were protesting systemic line prejudice, its fine if you protesting the system.

and they didnt see that coming .....geeees !

GOOD. Social distancing is unscientific garbage concept likely concocted by corrupt WHO. Sydney is not Melbourne ABC, and please stop the disgraceful fear mongering. It's irritating.

Literally 15 people under 65 have died. At least 750 more will die from suicide according to the brain and mind institute because of the lockdowns.

unclear on the concept

Federal authorities helping NSW after Sydney Airport coronavirus screening bungleFederal health authorities are helping their NSW counterparts with contact tracing after a flight from Melbourne to Sydney disembarked without health screening. No accountability, no responsibility of the staff and decision makers at the airport? There is no margin for error here. Get your shit together. Is there a reason why there’s a Qantas plane in the picture and not Jetstar? It was a Jetstar flight after all wasn’t it?
