Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott has claimed it is 'not part of the Australian character' to dob after he was photographed without a mask on Wednesday and copped a $500 fine from NSW Police.

“Police will allege the man did not wear a face mask while in public at Fairy Bower, Manly Beach, on the morning of Wednesday 8 September 2021”.

“Second, I never thought dobbing and snitching was part of the Australian character. I think as soon as we can leave this health police state mindset behind us, the better for everyone.” “Do you think it’s a part of the Australian character to dob people in for breaching public health orders?” he was asked.“What I would say is it does not matter who you are, whatever station you have in life, there are orders done, nobody likes having to do these orders but it is to keep everybody safe.Notably, Mr Hazzard did not respond to the former Prime Minister’s mask breach or comments about dobbers.

NSW Police can fine individuals $1,000 for inviting people to their home who are not a part of a singles bubble or for going outside the five-kilometre radius from their home in a neighbouring LGA. “There are aspects of contemporary Australia, which I personally find a little bit unsettling,” he told the 'Australia's Heartland with Tony Abbott' podcast before being reported on Wednesday.Mr Abbott is the latest politician to be caught unmasked and fined by police during the pandemic with Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce fined $200 for breaching mask orders in June.

Dude I still can't get the gross picture of you in Speedos out of my mind, Tony, do us all a favour and please be un-australian

Doing his bit for the enviroment

People should read the full article in terms of what he said - that old chestnut 🌰 “context” getting distorted by “quick fingers”

Perth_Today It's unAustralian not to look out for your mates, you were not.

Counterpoint:

A genuine laugh coming from an even more 'genuine' DISGRACE..

This guy?

Oh poor Tony, a political thug still stuck in the 1950s. Still hanging onto his LNPfail notion that rules for the population don't apply to the pollies. 'We're all in this together?' Not for him it seems. Pic says it all.

I have no problem with Tony getting a fine for breaking the law. What I find frustrating is the hundreds of people at Bondi Beach breaking the same rule Tony was charged for. Don't set an example of someone unless it's also going to be consistently applied.

But it is very Australian to break the rules

'Dobbing' is over rated. Reporting law breakers is different.

Here’s a tip Tony:

Most of us gave up the masks like 6 months here in Chicago. I never wore one. People are tired of the lie. You guys are slaves and no one will ever even want to visit again. You are the new North Korea.

I’m no longer proud to be an Australian. In the RFS I’ve seen this man put his life in danger, spending weekends in his own time volunteering helping communities at their low point. Mainstream media you are sick bastards. JulianLeeser take note.

There's no such thing as unAustralian behaviour. It's not like we behave any better than anyone else.

Vaccine Zombies

I would think making a small sacrifice to protect your mate would be the more Australian thing to do. You know, like the Diggers conservatives like to invoke.

He was the health minister right?

But dobbing in a Job Seeker recipient is ok whilst companies made billions 🙄

One’s as bad as the other.

It's not part of the Australian character to be a total prat, but a certain person has demonstrated on more than one occasion that he is.

If it's a dickhead call it a dickhead...very Australian

He essentially got caught and said 'snitches get stitches'

On the contrary. That is very much part of the Australian character.

Anyone still pushing masks today has sh*t for brains or an agenda. We know who you are, Fake News.

Wrong Tony. You’re living in the snowflake generation now. We have leftard governments in power, and toxic minorities are shutting down free speech. These snitches belong in stitches!

max39274485 & he's F'ing right. That man has done more for Australia volunteering & promoted the value of volunteering than that fat convicted drunk driver Sam Maiden dropping that pic & gloating about it. What a disgrace she is. DUI. How many people she could have maimed/killed DUI. auspol

Honestly, who gives a shit. Who are these people who are taking photos and sending them in. FFS 🤦‍♀️

He definitely should of been fined for wearing budgie smugglers.

ha … he can afford it

I guess he forgot this little gem

ScottMorrisonMP HonTonyAbbott Tony Abbott has demonstrated Scotty & co's 'Home Quarantine' idea is basically flawed. If Tony Abbott feels that he can ignore basic public health regulations then he assumes it is part of Australian to do that also.

Abbott exhibits NOTHING that a quality person aspires to be... meanwhile

You are not above the law

Only dob when it suits the person. Typical politicians,,,,,,, right Tony

That woman must have had a busy time at Bondi today.

Follow health wear a mask think of others

But donning in those who refuse a dangerous or underpaid job is ok?

On the other hand protecting others in our society, in this case, by wearing a mask is.

Well Abbott was never the brightest scholar!

Also un-Australian to knife incumbent Prime Ministers. This bloke is merely the conservative equivalent of Bill Shorten and yes he does hold a hose amongst other things.

The fine should have been proportionate to income.

We get a glimps of that in the way Australia is treating Assange. He exposed the atrocities of the US regime, and Australia is implicated in his unconstitutional incarceration

What does the mad monk think of it? How dare he to hijack the Australian way of life to cover his arse! Law is law, and he is not above the law. Full stop.

Coming from a shithole country, It's great to see that a former prime minister can get fined in Australia. This is a great nation.

But this is an exemplary part the Australian character?

Dib me in , the first thing before going to a court to fight it would be to subpoena the person who sobbed me in. Can't tell me then it's heresay
