A fence spanning the length of Bronte Beach wasn't enough to deter everyone from the water, with handfuls of beachgoers still spotted on Wednesday morning.

amplified concerns that Australians were not taking social distancing laws seriously enough.

A Sydney photographer said he was on the end of a barrage of abuse from a swimmer at Bronte after taking photos of the man and others ignoring warnings to stay off the beach.

The photographer said his top priority was to avoid being spat on. "He was practically foaming at the mouth," he said.

Idiot

People who has Wuhan virus are alone in ICU and die there alone. No one allowed to funeral also. Just a reminder champ!

I'm guessing his dad owns the beach?

LOL - This mug, for the whole world to see.

Screaming mine mine mine like the selfish child who can't understand that there is a world beyond himself.

This area now has a high number of infections . Surprise , surprise

Twat

Such an arrogant sense of entitlement

I wish there's a gif of Bugs Bunny sawing off NSW.

Put him in jail. Fining him is not enough.

Hope he got the fine

... the Tasman is 50% Corona

Arrest the dick

Shit that does not matter other than page views. Fund the ABC and it independence

They are all our beaches, just keep the social distance

Guess he’s going to find out he’s out of a job tomorrow when he inevitably is identified

Id hate to think how these infantile’s would cope with stricter rules 🙄 very selfish attitude in a time like this.

NSW has more cases than VIC and QLD combined, i wonder why.

Maybe as a deterrent tell these people they won't get immediate treatment if infected

A hahahaha what a goober!

That photographer is just another twat

What a fuc&srick

Name and shame this pussy...

That looks like a gossip columnist...mistaken it was just the self entitlement (that is so gob smacking) that blurred the facial expression.

Idiot

Give him a fine that will make him think about going out

Arrest him ScottMorrisonMP

Selfish bastard

Looks like one of Abbott's mates

The selfish Australian

Crime stoppers give them a $1000 fine

How about we up up electric fences, then this idiot will be taught a lesson.

Fine him and then name him so all his family and friends can tell him what a jerk he is 😩😤

ITS NOT HIS BEACH

If this guy was in Albania he would have been hosed down with a water canon.

Disappointing behaviour

No fences at my local beach. Pretty much had it to myself. SocialDistancing

But he can go for a haircut in contact with other people. Lockdownaustralia now

2000s - Bra Boys 2020s - Budgy Boy

Either put these people in jail or don’t treat them if they get COVID19, let them die at home. They have no idea how hospitals are in shambles managing patients and preparing for the worst case scenarios.

He has an uncanny resemblance to a Sydney fund manager 🙄

Where’s a bit of vigilantism when the country needs it?

What a fuckhead 😕

Selfish people who think they rare above us all

Can we have these People marked with permanent ink?! So that when they report to the hospital with symptoms.....they will be at the back of queue!

maybe have the beach as a breeding ground for great whites and see if they go against the rules then.

This man is out of touch on what’s going on around the world, selfish!

I’m all for social distancing and staying at home except for essentials but I think the small number of genuine ocean swimmers could have been catered for here. I’m still allowed to go for my walks.

Arrest him

Some people are so stupid it's astounding.

Taser him and a 20k fine

I guess that’s what privilege gets you - the ability to act like you’re untouchable. What a tool.

Should able to swim if you keep 4m apart

Sniper does.

This is exactly the reason why we need to Lockdownaustralia Those who cares about others will stay home but those who doesn’t won’t stay voluntarily covid19australia COVID19au

Looks like Teflon Anus Taylor. He loves his water

This guy looks like a fit swimmer, they cross the beach to get into the water to swim, not to lie around on the sand. They do distance swim and get out and go. They should not be penalised because others would not behave.

Fine. But no medical care or hospital bed should ever be wasted on the oppositionally defiant IMO.

Walls and fences are racist. How dare you!

I'm guessing he won't be near 'his' beach again for quite a while now unless he wants to get arrested

Can someone please name & shame this f%kwit!!!

Please go out and take as many photos of these people as you can and keep posting them. Shame these idiots in front of all of Australia!

Lock idiot up in jail

White privileged aussies! Not surprised 😮

Selfish people. It isn't their beach, and they need to comply with the regulations on beach closures. It's people like this who risk spreading covid19australia. nswpolice , go start issuing on the spot fines for people like this.

Lock them up or kick them out!! A total disgrace!!

Fine them.

Sociopathic/ignorant/self/entitled chap. Why aren’t the police issuing heavy fines like the UK? When is this government going to actually start doing something instead of their bizarre half-baked negligent responses? How many more people have to be infected and die?

Indulged , entitled selfish local people and visitors are everywhere ...there is no cure for that kind of social virus . covid19australia

This is just a symptom of the inconsistent rules we are living under. You can go to the park but not the beach; you can’t get a tattoo but you can buy clothes; 5 at a wedding 10 at a funeral etc etc

Thank god the borders are closed. BuildTheWall

So one did it and others followed. Soon there is a full beach. I’m all for fighting the powers but this is just plain stupidity. People are mixing up their causes.

Enjoy the $1000fine idiots

Who’d have thought it? Sydney people breaking rules! Wow next thing they will be using mobile phones while driving. Unbelievable.

What an a*hole! Bronte folks: what is that guys name, please? Name and shame

What a son of the beach! 😎

God help people self isolating with tantrum man.

It's OK.. we are one step away for 30 days! Mark the the day...1st April...and it won't be an April fools joke either!

Brave and community conscious photographer- well done!

Angry Hugo Weaving in a black nappy

So you want to have a go at someone who is keeping fit in the OPEN air and well away from others but Bunnings packed out with people fixing their gardens is ok?

Jail

And when he has an accident and needs to go to the Emergency Department why should the doctors and nurses have to spend valuable time treating him instead of dealing with the real victims, not the self obsessed, self entitled idiots like him?

'This is a selfish git'.

Dear nswpolice, Can you please issue fines to these tossers? Please and thank you from everyone in NSW who is respecting Social Distancing. Regards, NSW covid19australia StayAtHomeSavesLives SocialDistancing

I hope the photographers keep it up stop publishing articles on it and just start publishing pictures of all these selfish people.

He is right...he is Australian...its his beach. The beach does not belong to China...yet.

And they are right

This son of BeaCh

The Australian modern sense of entitlement, of MY rights, continues... PS Didn't know you could 'own' a public beach, in Australia... MADNESS

entitlement mentality at it's finest

'The photographer said a few other beachgoers joined in, saying that the government was overreaching. 'It wasn't very pleasant,' he said.' And they're right. He's swimming in the ocean, on his own ffs. This is Big Brother pushing the limits of how much freedom he can steel.

This is typical Eastern Suburbs mentality,it was and always will be. It’s not his F++king beach it’s everyone’s beach Stay off it Dick head it’s not much to ask.

thank you, and it's because of him and people like him, that we get tougher and tougher lock down laws, well done dickhead.

Waiting for his obituary in

Another self entitled piece of s***.

His land? Sounds familiar

Where's Jaws when you need him?

Lucy Turnbull steps down from the Greater Sydney CommissionPremier Gladys Berejiklian praised Mrs Turnbull's 'leadership and vision' to transform Sydney into three separate but interconnected cities. Good about time she might be the brains trust of the partnership but she is toxic. Probably not as much fun now without all the free restaurant lunch meetings and other assorted junkets. Thanks Lucy miss you and your old man ...
