A case of coronavirus that sparked the evacuation of National Australia Bank's headquarters in Melbourne, turned out to be fake.
About 6,000 people were evacuated from 700 Bourke Street in Docklands last week, after an NAB employee reported testing positive to COVID-19.
The 15-floor building was sanitised as a result and staff were told to work from home.
But an internal email sent to NAB employees by the bank's chief people officer, Susan Ferrier, said the company had determined the testing information provided by the staff member was "falsified".
"The colleague subsequently took a test which was negative. Reflecting the severity of this matter, the colleague will not be returning to NAB," the email said.

Copy and paste from the article

NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard today lambasted the "unacceptable" behaviour of people who abused medical professionals because they believed they were spreading coronavirus.

"It's not Australian, it's not the way Aussies behave," he said in a press conference.

They are still out there
Copy and paste

Police around the country have collectively doled out hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines for people breaching social-distancing rules or self-isolation.

Some of the reasons are pretty out there.

In Perth, a 35-year-old man who was put in a hotel for two weeks of quarantine was found to have wedged open the fire exit door, allowing him to leave and re-enter the hotel as he pleased without being seen by staff.

Police also said he used public transport during his outings.

He was arrested and refused bail. Presumably, he now has a poorer chance of wedging open his jail cell door.

This copy and paste tells the story

Five young people on Queensland's Sunshine Coast have been hit with more than $6,000 in fines over a noisy party overnight.

Police said the group was using a room at a hotel in Maroochydore.

Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll said the hotel reported the gathering to police.

"Five local people have decided to book a room at a hotel and have a party," she said.

"Thankfully the management of that hotel contacted police, and all five people have been issued with an infringement notice.

Their excuse was that they were unaware of any restrictions, due to Coronavirus, this excuse was not good enough for the police

Perhaps they should have pleaded, that they had more money, than sense

Now a government advisor and specialist in infectious disease, Sir Jeremy Farrar, has pointed to what probably should have been obvious to us all if we looked closely enough.

"It's certainly one of the worst if not the worst-affected country in Europe," he declared on the BBC on Easter Sunday when the UK death toll passed the dreaded 10,000 mark.

Coober Pedy party

Police have fined three people at a birthday party at a house in Coober Pedy that had 17 guests.

Police say the party was held on Tuesday night, with ten adults and seven children in attendance.

The three people who held the party were fined, and four guests were cautioned.

Since the coronavirus restrictions came into place, police have issued 45 fines and 35 formal cautions, mainly to people breaching quarantine or self isolation rules.

A South Australian man will face court after he allegedly coughed in a police officer's face and claimed to have coronavirus as he was being arrested.

Police were called to a house on the Eyre Peninsula just before 10:00am on Monday following reports of a disturbance.

They arrested a 35-year-old man for aggravated assault but, during the process, the man told an officer he had "corona" and coughed in his face.

The man was further charged with aggravated assault on an emergency services member.

I have omitted his name

A Coffs Harbour man, who falsely claimed to have COVID-19, has been fined $550 over an incident in which he deliberately coughed on a 71-year-old police employee.

He filmed himself carrying out the "joke" on March 24 as he reported to Coffs Harbour Police Station as part of bail conditions for other matters.

Following the incident he was charged with giving false information and resisting or hindering a police officer in the execution of their duties. He pleaded guilty to both charges.

the employer is the one who sets the protocols and they run these places on a shoe string budget .
as far as i've heard they haven't said what the persons job was ,if she was showing symptoms or where they picked it up from. so i wouldn't be feeding her to the wolves just yet

Another idiot, the copy and paste says it all

A 42-year-old woman has been arrested for spitting on a nurse walking through Adelaide's CBD.

Police alleged the woman was assaulted while she was walking down Hindley St on her way to work around 7:30am yesterday.

As of October last year, it's a specific offence to assault an emergency service worker and as a result of coronavirus, there's a presumption against bail for people on those charges.

South Australia Police Commissioner Grant Stevens says the alleged attack is unacceptable.

If I have read this newspaper article correctly

Early on, in the pandemic, the leaders of Brazil, decided not to lockdown

They now have a lot of coronavirus positive cases, as well as deaths

As the people are now criticising these same leaders

The leaders have decided, not to publish the total infections/death, but just the previous 24 hour period

unless it is a very serious crime people don't usually go to jail for a first offence.

the BLM movement in america is more about how police treat people of colour and how hard it is for a person of colour to change their circumstances

in Australia it would seem to be more about how aborigines are treated when in custody. 432 deaths in custody since the royal commission from the early 1990 era an most of the recommendations have not been implemented . what i haven't seen is a breakdown of how the deaths occurred
were they suicides ,bashing's, neglect police/ prison officers implicated or not.
the attitude of some of the organizers is they don't care about the rules and the laws (as stated by one lady with purple hair with an axe to grind) but in the end it may be her fellow Australians in rural communities that will pay with their lives, should we have a rampant second wave.
as stated earlier very few people go to jail for a first offence .
