The woman, who has been approached for comment, posted her video in a private Facebook group called 'The Conscious Truth Network', which describes itself as a “group for conscious and critical thinkers” and “people who are curious enough to question authority”.
"Any sort of abuse is intolerable and completely unacceptable, particularly to those retail staff at places like Bunnings, who are just seeking to be COVID-safe, to obey the law," he told reporters in Canberra.Dr Coatsworth acknowledged wearing face masks wasn't easy but said you"only had to see the [case] numbers to understand the why".
"The safety of our customers and team is our highest priority. We’re doing everything we can to keep everyone safe, including requiring customers to wear face masks or coverings as a condition of entry," Ms Poole said.Associate Professor Luke Beck from the Faculty of Law at Monash University said the woman in the video clearly broke the law.
Children under 12 are not permitted to wear a mask and those under two must not wear one because they are at risk of choking and suffocating.Beck said it was “perfectly acceptable” for a shop to ask its customers to wear a mask when they enter the premises if they had no medical exemption, and that managers have the right to ask them to leave if they refuse.
Police brutality in Melbourne : have woman in chokehold because she doesn’t wear a mask. Says she has an exemption notice police violate social distance rule to choke the woman assault
the point is, stop being a selffish b**** and think about others for once!
If the condition of entry is to wear a mask, then wear a mask or shop elsewhere. Just a grub filled with her own importance and entitlement.
SBS I own a shop and the rules of entry are determined by me. If you don’t like it leave and the law is behind me!
I think we should also take a second to praise the way the Bunnings staff handled this. It wasn't easy but they were respectful and courteous and didn't escalate. So well done!
SBS I think only other Karens didn't criticize her... and whatever the male version is... kyles?
SBS Oxygen thief
Was this set up why did she video this attention seeking numpty
Don't forget authorities and big corporate greed have blundered the whole COVID journey,
mental health authorities?
It's private property. They can refuse admittance to anyone not adhering to their policies.
Apparently she has a medical certificate. She was hiding behind her ‘valid’ reason ... and prompting others to do the same and call that stupid Sydney firm for help. She’s just a mouthy coward.
This person should not be criticised. They should be publicly ridiculed. Name and shame
How come no one ever complained about dress codes for restaurants, clubs, and RSLs, then all of a sudden when they are asked to wear a mask FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS they kick up a fuss? Of you're not allowed in go somewhere else, or better yet, order online!
In case this women is not mentally retarded, the police should visit and charge her with intention of spreading a fatal virus
Bunnings is not a public place, it is private property as is every other shop/cinema/pub, and the manager in their position as acting with the authority of the owners can stop whoever they like from shopping there for whatever reason they wish! It is private not public property!
She should be sued instead for her malicious actions that put public health at risk.
It’s like this Karen came in purely to make a scene. Maybe she didn’t want “all of Brighton” taking all the Kovidit spotlight 🤷♀️
Every pub has a sign saying everyone must wear shoes and a shirt or 'neat casual' to enter. Its been that way for decades. Nobody makes an issue out of that. FINE THE BITCH.
Stop wasting people's valuable time on these idiots, arrest and throw them remand. They can argue their case out in court at their expense in a year or so once the rest of us have this virus under control.
Given that, in Melbourne, face masks are mandatory in ALL spaces outside your home, this woman should receive a visit from the police with the $200 fine.
DanielAndrewsMP Have to ask the obvious. I thought Melbourne was in lockdown. 4 essential reasons. Work, School, Exercise, Food. So, since when is Bunnings essential shopping?🤔 COVID19Vic COVIDIDIOTS
Where’s the video of the security guards rooting the Covid-chicks?
adamajacoby Let's hope Bunnings, put things in place to deal with these idiots & big pat on the back for the way your poor staff dealt with this stupid women, get security guards Bunnings unfair for your staff to have to put up with this shit.. Bunnings
I want to ask a really stupid question: is she white?
She claimed it was her 'right as a woman'.
Criticised!!!! What the hell is this. Where is the Fine! Or why Bunnings didn’t kicked her outsbsnews
Not good enough 1st offence - enforced isolation 2nd offence - fine 3rd offence - jail time 4th offence - Christmas Island
Staff at Bunnings don’t need the heroic bush lawyer abusing them.
Have Bunnings and Wesfarmers ban her from all of their stores.
Gee, won't her kids be proud of her !!!
b_spectabilis She should being jailed first
Charge her VictoriaPolice !! BunningsKaren Bunnings
Just pinch her a fine or cut off her lungs for not wasting any oxygen
Can we have citizens arrest?
Round of applause to the floor staff at that Bunnings store. They don’t get paid enough to put up with that crap.
But if everyone else is wearing a mask aren't they then ok if she doesn't? Or doesnt the mask work?🤔 asking for a friend....
Fuxk her..get the chainsaw out and deal with it!
Can we ALL sue this woman and anyone who brings up 'their rights' over others lives?
Does anyone know her twitter account? We need to sent this article to her. Even if it’s not the law, you wear a mask out of respect to all those people on the frontline (doctors, nurses, bus drivers, cleaners, etc).
You can’t control people inside. & stopped residents to come back home. Hahahaha.🤣🤣🤣🤣
If she walked in topless, they would kick her out and have her arrested. COVIDIOTS WearADamnMask
I do hope the police charge her. Watching the whole series of clips, she was just there to cause mischief and film her stupidity. She lied to the cops later about her “medical condition”. Fine her to the max. And throw this selfish fool in jail.
It’s a pity the person hasn’t been criticised by Mental Health Dept.. I don’t believe that a person is behaving reasonably or logically when it’s perfectly clear that they are putting others at risk because they choose to exercise their Rights..!! So selfish + delusional
Should’ve dragged her ass out kicking and screaming
Are employees allowed to film people like this to ensure their rights are protected ? Wiishing I'd been there to film & post.
The poor lady is at war with herself, we need to understand this remembertheageofaquarius
Only the beginning of the people asking “what the hell Govt?” 310k cases and 1000+ deaths in 2019 and we heard nothing.....
WJGunning Seems there a massive will by the police. She used a human rights issue in a state of emergency. First up she was in a building owned by a corporation so they have right to refuse entry.
This is just the beginning of people getting Jack of the lock down tactic. End result is economic collapse. Even Bunnings will be severely affected. CovidVic
WgarNews Everybody outside her own little circle has criticised her.. and that's only the beginning
If it’s the law what, beyond a $200 fine is the penalty? Can’t this be tightened up under a declared state of emergency? Law abiding citizens want acceptable penalties and criminal convictions being recorded. There should be no right to resist arrest.
We laughed at the Karens in the US....Well whadaya know. They actually exist here too
Correct. A person is a guest on the shop's premises. They have a right to set conditions of entry and require people to leave when asked. If you want to dispute the law, make sure you know it. auspol vicpol
Sometimes watching too much American tv is not good for you.
bitchatbunnings
When did shopping at Bunnings become 'essential'?
This woman just wants attention. Don't give her any. She isn't worth the time. What a looser!!!
Good ... I hope she was charged & fined ...
It's the hard store warehouse policy to wear Coranavirus mask
It's any business right, TO KICK THE CRAP OUT YOU, OUT OF THEIR STORES.
If she doesn't cop a fine then the whole thing is a joke!
Anti-maskers a problem at your store? Here's the solution!
'The woman, who has been approached for comment, posted her video in a private Facebook group called 'The Conscious Truth Network'' Shocker 😂
Can someone find out who this bitch is and post her name.
So sick of these selfish, attention-seeking pricks, who have no consideration for anybody but themselves. Maybe stores should employ old-school nightclub bouncers to haul them out of the store and throw them into the gutter where they belong?
then, Bill, she is using is NOT enforceable by LAW
Only in America. Wait... what?
It's time that ALL stires put up a sign at the entrance to say: This store [NAME] is PRIVATE PROPERTY *You may be denied entry if you do not follow required COVID protocols. *You may be required to leave if you ignore Store protocols once inside.
The thing is though is that this is happening everywhere, everyday, and the staff have to deal with this all the time, only just this time it's being recorded and rightfully publicly shamed.
This moron googled some feminist law from last century and purposely refused to wear a mask. This idiot should have been filmed and fellow shoppers doing the right thing should have embarrassed her out of the store. People like this is the reason we are still hurting.
This woman has deliberately gone to Bunnings without a mask to challenge the staff and have her 5 minutes free publicity. Heavy fine for her deliberate negligence.
Selfishness
The police need to track her down and charge her.
The KAREN strikes back! Ah HAHAHAHA!!!
Just arrest these people. Simple. No if or buts. Refusing to provide address and ID is an offence. Wonder if any of the families of these clowns contracted the virus? Wonder if they'd be concerned about their rights then?
Karen 🙄
Great free advertising though
Hope they kicked her out
Bunnings does not have to serve anyone they don't like. Shops just need to kick recalcitrant folk to the kerb. Everyone with any ethics will not object.
I dont care whether experts knew it was wrong, show us her picture!!
Awkies
