Health Minister 'dissapointed' at crowds descending on Sydney beaches | Sky News Australia

Randwick Council re-opened several eastern suburbs beaches from 6 to 9am on Saturday, allowing locals to swim, surf and run

along the sand. Crowds packed Maroubra, Coogee and Clovelly during the three hour period ignoring social distancing guidelines.

This guy begs in the media to maintain social distancing and provides a platform to make it impossible. Beaches are last think you open if you want social distancing. He learnt nothing from ruby princess. hate seeing him tell he is disappointed. Resign! We’re disappointed in u

Yes he is disappointed in Australians but not at all concerned about his highly paid bureaucrats who allowed 2700 passengers to spread a deadly virus are unnamed and undisciplined! His credibility is total blown and the NSW hovt is being irreparably undefined by Jim,

That's because it's absurd!

I think this social distancing thing is going a little far when you can’t even go to the beach! The 1.5m distancing rules is being applied from what I can tell!

Stupidity opening them up in the first place.

The govt needs to stop sending mix messages and be more consistent with its decision making.

Oh no a politician is disappointed. How long have the people of Australia been disappointed in government and politics?

And we all were very disappointed at the handling of the Ruby Princess on it first arrival in Sydney.

He would know there’s a snowflakes chance in hell of catching it at the beach they can’t keep people locked up forever based on our numbers

Higher IQ’s don’t always come with money.

They look 1.5m apart to me. Except a few, who likely live together anyway. Still less crowded than a grocery store.

It was disappointing that brad hazard ignored the signs that the virus was on the ruby princess,he’s the last person people will listen to.

Who said to open them?

Shud up Brad. They just want to go to the beach.

.BradHazzard is a goose! These police state policies have gone to his head. Outside is SAFER than inside! The SUN kills virus’ and keeps our immune systems healthy! Staying inside and quarantining HEALTHY people ensures they WILL get sick once they’re finally allowed back out!

bluesjack42 Of course this will happen. But realistically what's the chance of infection here.

Roll back the lock down , we have done enough confinement, we need our social pastimes !

By the looks of Mr Hazzard, he'd do well if he adopted a lifestyle a bit more like these folks.

Well what about Kerry Stokes performance over past 72 hours... piss poor form from a self interest prick. double standards or what ScottyFromMktg “nothing to see here I’m focussed on Covid “ Question needs to be asked who allowed this !!!

Just stupid people too ignorant and self centred to care. Well if there’s a wave two let’s hope this lot learn their lesson the hard way.😡

Maybe nsw needs a major lockdown.. and anyone of these idiots should be fined and locked up

End the lock down

What crap, sunlight kills viruses

Are. You. Surprised. Brad? 🤦🏻‍♂️ The give-an-inch-take-a-mile crowd will ruin the good work we have all done with the coronavirus and we will all be in shut down a whole lot longer. COVIDー19

He's the disappointment! hazzard NSWHealth

Yet kids at school don't have to social distance.... Are schools magical?

His name says it all. RubyPrincess fiasco and allows gatherings (family and households) ScottMorrisonMP Both hazzards

with respect i have not face to face with a mates or family .. just about to blow up .. being alone to long for too long .. not joking ...i getting so mad !!!!!!!!!!!!! its time get back to sort of normal ..because i a time bomb .. to myself !!!!!!!!!!!!1

Some business houses are preferring money over human lives.

The neurotic ABC-ers are in full meltdown from inside their bomb shelters

Just sack hazzard GladysB Please release him from the suffering, Let him be disappointed forever, recommend him to take cruiseship voyage 🛳 on his retirement Coronavirustruth

So says the bloke still in a job after letting a ship load of infected people into Australia, that has caused the most infection in the country.

Brad Hazzard is obviously blind. Everyone is 1.5m apart. The science is clear that coronavirus transmission is incredibly unlikely outdoors, with most coming from indoors within the household. Time to end the fear campaign by these tyrants drunk on power. COVID19 auspol

Overated scaremongering statistics causing mass hysteria & unnecessary economical consequences. Wuhan virus is serious for some ppl but not for all. Stop this draconian communistic prohibition. Beach is safer than supermarket!

Two words for you Hazzard.....RUBY PRINCESS

Are you gonna arrest them all

Government fault

This makes me angry. Because of those idiots I can't sit at my coffee shop.

Looks like some Ozzies still have brains, and a spine. Good for them.

Why cant ppl go to the beach if they keep distance? Hows it any different to exercise in a park? Honestly 🤦🏻

BradHazzard WTF did you expect? Useless politicians saying how well things are going. Dumb f***^ are going to take advantage. Wake up!

🤔 killers

There were bigger crowds at Bunnings and Woolworths. I know those stores are 'necessities' but I think people are looking for a reason to get out of the house.

What's going to happen when and if sufficient people defy closures and swim en masse? There won't be enough police, jails or courts to deal with them. People clearly don't support excessive restrictions, and I worry things will end up like Hong Kong with violence. Curve is flat!

Well if the government and the media aren't so dishonest people might pay more attention

Something about the people in that POST CODE

If only this disease was taking out 20s & 30 somethings, you can bet these selfish individuals would be as brazen !

Health Hazzard says that social distancing is here to stay until there is a vaccine. He's so far behind the rest of the entire world. There's no vaccine coming. There doesn't need to be one. How did this idiot get this job?

What do you expect from Sydney dwellers...

I don’t like seeing rich pricks being treated differently, when it comes to quarantine, than others either

Gladys and her entire team required to be sacked. The whole nation has to remain in lock down because of a handful of utter and complete incompetent so called leaders.

sun, salt water, open air will defeat any germ

selfish pricks

The Australian youth of today has very little respect for older people let alone the government.

Omg so sick of hearing we are being selfish because we want to move forward with our lives. Get over this desperate need to be looked after by this government. So afraid to go outside in case you all die, how quick you folks forget that weeks ago we used to live our lives.

Well if u opened all the beaches,they wouldn’t have all come to the bra ,Bondi dudes and nippers where all coming over

It's annoying that the whole country needs to be locked because of some wankers.

But walking is okay, going to stores is okay. going to school is okay, even going to work, is okay, but sitting on a beach is not

Is it worth the risk to our elderly and others at risk. Look what’s happening in the USA massive problems because they don’t want to isolate. I know it’s frustrating staying indoors but here in Australia we are the envy of the world we just don’t want to blow it. Just my thoughts

Selfish people

The virus is a hoax.

And that's why Sydney and NSW have way higher positive numbers.

People recognise bullshit when they see it.

Being out in the sun is the safest place you could be, seeing sunlight and humidity kills the virus and you also get vitamin D at the same time, and seeing there is a 98 - 99% survival rate, I'd say the mass majority will be A ok

I think it's disappointing that you can't spell 'dissapointed'.

People are so irresponsible. Why don't they get it through their 'entitled' heads, it's not about them. It's the harm that they may cause others. If they don't comply, the Government will continue its hard line approach.

Looks to me like folk are social distancing. I cant see any groups of people congregating closer than 2 metres here. The poor depth and angle of the picture don't help the 'quick to pounce' brigade

Maybe if HealthHazzard had a colleague in I don't know, in the Emergency Getaway portfolio with some credibility recently then maybe people wouldn't have the nerve to breach the fu *cough* ckin' tough rules so we all live another day. JustSayin CoronaVirusChallenge COVIDIOT

How does he still have a job?

Close metropolitan beaches after 11am

looks like no one is listening to your scare mongering anymore...Sucked in!🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

HealthHazzard let a ship full of COVID in. Now he’s surprised at this?! Are the police fining people like they they are in the low socioeconomic areas?

We are disappointed that government has not begun to wind back the rules

It’s like a Project Manager whinging to Client about being “disappointed “because his or her project is going down the gurgle, over budget and behind schedule! Bloody unbelievable!

Oh, Mr Hazzard! Come on ... really? You never expected this to happen at these particular re-opened beaches? Please!

People of Australia are disappointed with Brad Hazzard, resign now numpty

Another Ruby Princess case? Not very effective to be “disappointed”. For a man in your position with your exorbitant salary, I thought it would be more appropriate to enforce control mechanisms instead of whining about being „disappointed „!

What's he going to do about it.?police choppers and megaphone. Low flying of course. Issue as many fines as possible.

When Mr and Mrs Stokes stay home - we will too!!!!!! I want an answer from the health minister as to why he is able to constantly travel!

Not allowed to play and swim in the water, but kids allowed to close on buses, trains, classrooms and playground. Doesn't make sense.

Only thing I see is social distancing. So what’s the problem? Better than lining up at the supermarket.

Maybe they were HSC students pretending they were at school and that it doesn't matter

Any documented cases of being infected at the beach? I really doubt it.

all BRAVERs~~~~

Shut the beaches and leave shut as it is not fair to the people that are breaking the rules. I think people need six months in jail as fines are not working and it’s time to get fair dinkim

Australians are hard headed!

A health minister called Hazzard.🤣

I’m disappointed...but NOT surprised 🙄🙄

Proves we are not ready to loosen the restrictions yet.

Totally the governments fault. The over all message is stay the fuck at home!! Why open the beaches? Is it to tempt people and maybe add to the government coffers from police fines?

I think the return of kids to school has causes a mixed message. As soon as you make one compromise, you open the door to others.

Looks OK to me.

And all Illawarra beaches

No vaccine yet, 2nd wave here we come.

So much nudity. Pedolism is growing swiftly there

What did you expect?

Well, we are DISAPPOINTED in the Health Minister in dealing with the Ruby Princess debacle....yet here we are

Outdoors is the best place to avoid viruses 🦠 - Microbiology 101 - Sunshine and salt water are virus killers - slim to none to catch something at the beach 🏖Open them!

He better starts talking about Ruby Princess and his accountability. He stuffed SYDNEY and a few other large cities.

TheFacelessSpin Probably should only have closed the beach if there wasn’t a photo like this where everyone seems to be keeping an adequate social distance.

Looking at the comments, this little exercise has worked. People screaming for long term lock downs.

No risk outdoors in sun. Enjoy people!

Just imagine beaches are schools. Then you ll see magic unveils. The virus doesn't enter schools anyway.

Well done good to see some people enjoying their freedom of choice. If you want to stay in doors do it. If you want to go out and live without fear, do it. Its YOUR choice.

Imagine how Bondi is going to be when they reopen it on Tuesday

Brad Health Hazzard 🤣🤣🤣

Close the beaches

Honestly what did he expect? Did he actually think he could trust people to do the right thing? Shouldn't have reopened the beaches. Now if he's got any balls he'll close them. Again!

Australians were ‘“disappointed” when NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard didn’t take proper precautions when the Ruby Princess docked (and people disembarked) in Sydney.

World Health Organisation ‘failed the world and now its boss must go’ | Sky News AustraliaThe World Health Organisation “has failed the world” and the first step towards rectifying the situation is for director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to be removed or relinquish his position says Sky News host Chris Kenny. \n\nMr Adhanom and the WHO have come under heavy security for their handling of the current deadly coronavirus pandemic, especially in its early stages. \n\nMr Kenny said the Communist Party of China had 'failed to stop the spread of the disease around the world, and the WHO did not call it out”. \n\n“Instead, its chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus visited Beijing late in January, was feted by Xi Jinping and obviously was hoodwinked too”. \n\nMr Kenny said the “biggest mistake” made by Mr Adhanom was to make “light of the disease” along with his hitting out at travel bans and “suggesting people should still be free to move around the world”. \n\n“That surely was his greatest mistake, and it was one, thankfully, that many countries, including our own, ignored”. \n\n“If you support the WHO, or if at least you support its aims of improving health around the globe, surely this bloke's got to go, sooner rather than later,” Mr Kenny said. \n\nImage: AP yes, he must go! Removed or shot out a cannon They are globalist stooges

Premier pressures WA private schools to discount fees for parents after going against health adviceThe WA Premier has suggested parents ask for a discount on fees from private schools that will only provide online learning in term two. Governments must contribute their share to private schools.......Private education are saving Taxpayers Billion$ similar to private health cover. WA premier is absolutely right. Not only should the schools refund the fees, but parents should probably change schools. Disgraceful private schools using PLANdemic as pretext to minimise cost of operating a school by exploiting the rubbish online alternative. Outrageous.
