Police are trying to track down people who received a fake 'medical exemption' from the Toowoomba woman, who was charging up to $150 per document.

Acting Inspector Powell said police are working to track down people who bought a certificate."We'll be working with our sister agencies across Australia to identify those people and ensure that they're aware their certificates are not valid."LIVE UPDATES: Read our blog for the latest news on the COVID-19 pandemic

"If those documents are being presented to employers as being exemptions from vaccination, then that exposes that person to risk of catching COVID because they're not properly vaccinated, or suffering ill-effects of COVID, it also places colleagues and workmates at risk.

They also need to charge those buying these fake certificates. They knew they were fake ... or they wouldn't have paid $150. This was a criminal enterprise fuelled by morally inverted conspiracy theories. That doesn't entitle anyone to a free pass on their intent to defraud.

Jianxch Maybe she believes she's saving lives

When are they going to charge scomo for pretending to be a prime minister

Give her 15 years inside to think about it

So she's a Lib Nats voter who listens to Craig kelly.

Linkedin for the medical profession is a transparent and accessible source of information for both doctors, medical staff and patients. Word of mouth is just not the best tool anymore.

nothing like a pandemic to bring the best out in people

Pure evil, profiting on the ignorance of others

Yes and all the prisons are full of innocent men & women

Surely this is a very serious crime to impersonate a medical practitioner. And ABC, medical doctors don’t have medical doctorates unless they have studied at PhD level. Most of our Drs have a medical undergraduate degree. We call them Dr because it’s the custom here

Oh the Morrison defence😅.

Give her a few decades in prison for endangering the public and see how long it takes her to work out what she did wrong.

Insanity plea seems solid

Lock her up....that'll stop her

this horrible no doubt, but pails in comparison to what I've been seeing lately. Seen at least 4 anti-vaxxers that have genuine digital Covid-19 vaccination certificates. Apparently there are doctors charging $1k to put the jabs on your medicare record and dump the vials.

Throw the book at her

There are no words 😶🙄

Oh FFS throw her in prison until the f'ing pandemic is over. This is beyond ridiculous. 🤬

I’m pro-vaccine. I’m against the mandates, but I’m pro-vaccine. What she has done, is risk lives. She cannot issue an exemption, when she’s not a doctor. Not getting vaccinated, could cost these patients their lives. I’m absolutely appalled.

Tell her she’s going to an all female spa when you lock her up then. She who lives by delusion is trapped by delusion. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Of course not. These anti vax nutters think they are 'saving' people.

A spell in a jail cell would possibly serve to persuade her. IMO.

Honestly, who would fall for this trickery? Anything to do with her prime clientele? 🤔

Sounds like a true hero of people's freedoms... charging them $150 🙄😅

lets apply it to tax: 'x pretends to be a chartered accountant and issuing fake tax exemption certifications '...doesn't believe they've done anything wrong'... Wonder how the ATO and ASIC would respond? 😝

So she has issued at least 600 fraudulent certificates and faces $10k fine and MAYBE jail time? Is this some kind of QLD joke And the guys who went to the football in Wa got jail time- and yes I agree they did the wrong thing. Speechless.

Lock her up until she changes her mind. Then add 12 months for good measure!!

What the actual fuck…sweet Jesus, is this really where we are…

Jail

Discover the truth.

ABC News charged with pretending to be a reputable and unbiased news source and for promulgating fake news 'doesn't believe it’s done anything wrong'

Just another flip. Or as they say in rhyming slang, she's a baked dinner (spinner)

Seems she is having an episode and needs psychiatric support.

Believe must be the most versatile word in the lexicon

This woman is not a health practitioner; why is she being charged under health practitioner legislation? Why is she not also being charged with fraud under criminal law?

So many Doctors pretend to be Medical Experts Just because Medicare sends credit to account fails to ensure. The treatment & correct Call was made We as a NATION need to TRAIN Nurses & M.D's

So she's brain damaged as well. She should use that in her defence.

People graduating from pharmaceutical industry hijacked universities also claim to be doctors when they're nothing more than drug pushers for Pfizer et al

Curious choice of pic for this article. I would have selected an etching of a 19th century snake oil salesman spruiking his wares from atop his caravan.

Nobody is forcing anybody to be vaccinated They have the choice of vaccination and health/life/death, choice of vaccination and 'freedom', choice of vaccination and a job, choice of vaccination and travel ..

Is she a member of the LNP?

She issued 600+ false certificates at $150 each... But the fine is only $10,000?

Narcissist alert!
