Dominic Perrottet escapes fine for breaching public health orders on 'Freedom Day'

On Monday Mr Perrottet appeared alongside Deputy Premier Paul Toole and NSW Treasurer Matt Kean at Watson’s in Moore Park to speak about the reopening of the hospitality industry and relaxed restrictions.

But NSW Police have said there was no fine issued after using “discretion” and added the venue was closed to the public at the time of the press conference. Police officers from the Surry Hills area have since spoken to the hotel licensee and decided not to fine the venue but did remind them of the restrictions.At the media conference Mr Perrottet urged punters heading to the pub to show respect and patience to waiters and bar staff.

Sorry but why should he get preferential treatment

Inconsiderate Covid Alcohol Consumption…. ICAC ?

Double standards again

But he's going to donate the equivalent amount to an appropriate charity?

weak

Insanity

Escaped nothing he had an exemption for a photo shoot

The Ozzie way... drink drive bash wife

Stupid rule

Double standards. Fine the dude, and ICAC him on the iCare fiasco he created and actioned. How many other people avoided fines during the lockdown saga? COVIDIOT

This is why politicians are disliked so much. They make the rules, then ignore them.

How pathetic….. who cares 😴😴

It would appear the virus is far smarter than many humans… I mean, it knows when you’re sitting, standing, singing, wearing a mask, not wearing a mask, exercising as well as all the other bullshit ways we’ve been told how to live… wake the bloody hell up people.!!

Why would he be fined for that? 😳

That is fucked the government has so much control over us.. so you can get fined drinking while standing up? Wake up people this is not right.. next thing you will be fined for the clothes you wear.. be good children and sit down and do what you are told..

Laughable, China must rolling around in fits seeing us devour ourselves over COVID ?

FUKIN SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE

I'm not sure I should admit something like this on Twitter, but as I walked back to my table from the bar, I actually took a sip of my beer. I was so nervous but it felt thrilling to live on the edge like that.

I wonder if Sky News would be so forgiven and polite if it were the Mexican Premier?

Such science! Wow! Who ever came up with such rules must be super genius! Our savior! We never knew that virus could attack those standing & drinking than those who are sitting & drinking. Such a clever virus! But our CHO isn't far behind! She can counter all nefarious designs 👏

Unfortunately images matter. The weak minded and easily influenced will take this as a license to flout rules. Not leader material.

Slow news day?
