The travellers in question did not have an exemption to travel from the ‘extreme risk zone’ in New South Wales and attracted hefty fines of over $5,000 each.
Speaking at Victoria’s media conference on Thursday COVID-19 Response Commander Jeroen Weimar confirmed the women would not have received a permit had they applied for one. It comes as more mystery cases were recorded in Victoria on Thursday prompting fears the state’s sixth lockdown could be extended yet again.
If any cases arise from this breach, we’re looking at a 4-6 week lockdown. Although the other passengers on the flight will be isolating now so hopefully this won’t blow up. covid19
Isolate NSW, no flights, introduce six month jail for border hoppers or expect more😎
Why have you flights 'from' Sydney? It's as if you invite this to occur
Put them in jail… Then allow the great state of Victoria to leave the corrupt commonwealth of NSw …put a hard border on the murray and create the newest country under the UN….the anti Murdoch state of progressive Southern Australia
“Authorities fear”! Oh calm down a little they been doing this for nearly 2 years now …
How were they permitted to board that flight if they didn’t have correct exemption permits? Surely to minimise risk that would be done prior to boarding as part of the airlines responsibility to the govt…
Oh, FFS!
ILLEGALLY boarding?! 😏 Not just the government sucks during this pandemic, now it’s the police/airport security too. How could they?! Lifetime in prison without appealing. 🤣😜
Whatever reason, NSW spreads this all over the country. This is the exact reason Gladys can't just open up.
SkyNews BBCWorld thepmo - Lockdown's may become the new normal way of life.
How did they even get a green zone permit? Why were they not stopped at the airport and how far did they get ?
How ? Surely anyone arriving from Sydney which is a red zone must quarantine. Why wouldn’t every passenger from a red zone be treated as a positive ? There’s something missing in this story.
However, this person is vaccinated then I could not express the irony.
They will say it’s rampant just to keep us lockdown noideaDan
Hahahhahahaha they prey on fire!!!!
