Publicly name and shame

Please fine them

these persons just NOT be Australian ! too selfish , they must be parnished in some way !

States now need to close borders and operate independently. Some states have way more fuckwits and will need to go to stage 4. The rest of us don’t.

Fuck sky news

Christmas island holiday perhaps

Selfish pricks not a patriotic bone in their measly body's they discussed me the thought that my children have to share this country with people like this makes me sick

Many people would not be quarantining after returning from overseas. Our millennial daughter returned from LA on the 22nd of March and didn't think it was important to quarantine- too immature to understand the ramifications. We had to read her the riot act before she listened

LNP and their soft on borders approach is allowing the virus to spread therefore destroying our economy.

Same police that can’t control African gangs have more issues policing.. You don’t say.. To used to be parking wardens with guns just revenue raising vis speeding and unregistered cars..

JaggerMickOZ Large fines for all I hope

selfish fuckwits

Pity they were'nt as diligent with other crime in Melbourne

Tut tut.

ZubSpike Reckless!!

I can guess which countries too.

Why aren’t they in hotels under forced lockdown then ?

Send them to Christmas island.

Filthy, inconsiderate people. ChineseVirus auspol 😷

Record them & if outbreak or death, hold them accountable. COVIDIOT

lock them up for 3 weeks

this would explain why the cases are spiking

They're listening to who are telling them to do what they want

Put them in enforced isolation and fine them for violating clearly stated directives.

Fine them

Lock them up

Fine the barstards - heavily

🤛🏻🤛🏻🤢🤢😡😡😡

No shit sherlock

Book em Danno

Wait, what. Are you serious? What a bunch of jackoffs

Lockem up Premier...😡

Daniel Andrews is all talk and no action.

Put them into quarantine for the remainder of their 14 day period. No questions asked.

ML stated that 66 businesses have closed down in Camden, with our 'stay at home' instructions. Time to call Aussies home and stop returning flights, or land them on Christmas Island, since people are not self quarantining. We have less new cases today - ACT NOW ScottMorrisonMP

Put them into hotels to keep an eye on them and same for the Aspen traitors

Well what an absolute surprise - how many tried to tell them, but don't dare go solo fishing or sit in a park and read a book !

Just out of interest, are they franking credit people or JobSeeker/Keeper people?

Because it should have been forced not voluntary, you dumb arses. And they shouldn't have been allowed to travel before that even

They should call it home detention and have a monitoring device fitted to their ankle, when are DanielAndrewsMP and VictoriaPolice going to get serious

Time for jail quarantine me thinks....mind you the piss weak judiciary wouldn’t have a bar of it....

Interesting. Since the Peoples Liberation Army is in their reporting chain. What to do?

GreyHaired07 Dickheads

Well, arrest them. Or are they of the unarrestable skin colour?

Fine them or lock them up

Tough talk by authorities is meaningless with tough action. Qld police are saying they don't want to fine perps because they maybe experiencing financial hardship. Too bad. What next, you didn't mean to bash her, on your way

How sad that we have people who are only too happy to infect fellow human beings with the virus because they are too selfish to care .they should each be fined ten thousand dollars and thrown in jail covid 19 kills people . one million infected worldwide fifty thousand dead

Why have they bit been fined?

Lock them up. That simple.

Jail the bastards

10K fines

GreyHaired07 But Muslim weddings must be exempt from the social distancing laws,

GreyHaired07 Amazing. Who would have thought?

Imagine my surprise 😏

surprise surprise

So they go abroad knowing this is going on, whinge to get back in, then disobey the quarantine request putting lives at risk! Nevermind fines these muppets need to be jailed!

Disgusting

Viola1500 Good old dictator Dan making sure people don't go fishing has made all the difference then by the looks of things. 🙄

Better do what our WA premier is doing then ... go look at what MarkMcGowanMP is doing 👍🏻🦠😷💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

So they let this happen .. but we can’t even go for a walk without being harassed ? Do they really think anyone’s gonna keep us this ‘isolation BS’ for too long 🤦‍♀️😁😁😁

ready? wait for it. here it comes. ITS COMING!!! its here! DUHHHHHHHHHHH were you ready?

Put'm in jail for 14 days then

Country Australians ‘are being made to rely on the socialist ABC for news’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peter Gleeson says press freedoms and a free and open media are “being eroded and the blame can be laid squarely at the hands of the legislators”. \n\n“For over a decade now, media companies like News Corp … has been warning federal government that the tech giants like Google, Facebook and Instagram, are being allowed to eat the financial lunch of traditional media”. \n\n“They shamelessly rip off the content created by mainstream media companies and post it onto their platforms, where it is consumed by their large and growing audiences”. \n\nIt comes as many local media organisations in Australia are suffering as a result of global tech giants which have not only claimed a large proportion of advertising revenue, but do so on the back of locally produced and locally funded publisher content.\n\nMr Gleeson said the results could mean “country and regional folk (will) have to rely even more on the ABC, which is terribly unfair, considering it is part of the socialist cabal which includes Labor, the Greens, Get Up and the unions.\n\n“The Morrison government has a lot on its plate right now but when things settle down, the first thing it must do is change the law to protect homegrown media”. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia *cough* Murdoch *cough* hahahaha. This is the funniest satire channel on tv! Keep up the hilarity! Sky has the dumbest talking heads this side of Fox! The fact that the ABC has so much influence in country Australia is because it’s the only broadcaster. Newscorpse won’t broadcast in those region, not cant, wont it’s their choice, they say it’s too costly, well I say fuck them!

'Too early' to judge NZ lockdown success | Sky News AustraliaThe New Zealand Prime Minister says it's 'too early to tell' if a nationwide lockdown is slowing the transmission of COVID-19.\n\nPrime Minister Jacinda Ardern said New Zealanders were for the most part complying with strict lockdown measures, but implored the nation’s 20-29-year-olds to do more. \n\n“The worst thing we could do is be too relaxed or complacent and allow a silent spread,” she said. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia Why's that? They've been in lockdown for over two weeks now. Just strangle the economy for longer, then. Nz isnt doing enough testing and still isnt quarantining new arrivals in hotels..... what failure of leadership.

Tough coronavirus restrictions to last at least 90 days | Sky News AustraliaNSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller says he hopes the state will be able to lift its tough coronavirus restrictions in 90 days, as the state’s confirmed COVID-19 case toll rises to 2,298. \n\nAnother 116 coronavirus cases were confirmed on Thursday, with 43 patients in ICU - 20 of whom required ventilators. \n\nThere are now 3,557 people undertaking a 14-day quarantine in NSW hotel rooms, with another 500 travellers expected to return today.\n\nSpeaking with reporters about the restrictions, Mr Fuller said if a person receives a ticket for disobeying the distancing rules, the police chief would consider its fairness.\n\n'I’m reviewing all of these tickets personally, which would never happen again for any other time. And I’ll continue to do that,” he said.\n\n'There was a good question yesterday about when is the turn-off period for these orders. It is 90 days. People will have gotten the message by then, hopefully,' he said.\n\n'And we won’t be talking about the powers, we’ll be talking about what does it look like coming out of this.'\n\nImage: News Corp Australia Hopes? I heard him this morning say the powers were only good for 90 days and he WON'T be asking for an extension. I got the sense he really hates what his employees are being asked to do. 90 days? This is absolutely absurd. openaustralia
