Yep, based on the video, a good lawyer, it won't even get to court and the charges will be dropped.
That's the thing that gets me. She said she goes through that checkpoint everyday on her way to work. Does she film it every day just in case this situation arises, or was she just spoiling for a fight this particular day and  felt she needed a little infamy in her life.
Whatever, she got what she deserved. Just do as your asked. Simples.
I do not envy the job of VicPol members at the moment, and I commend them for the job they are doing

Oh no, all the morning shows have her live this morning.. the poor victim...
Shes probably got a manager by now, and a "Reality" show on the books.

The only reason she will get off is which side the media takes - which should be the bacon, but  it wont be... That doesnt sell to the lemmings

Get the video.  Find when the record button was pressed. She is in a car, in the drivers seat, keys in the ignition,  more than likely the car is running. Add the charge of using a mobile phone while driving. Is just another suitable charge and fine she desirves. Best bit is she supplied the evidence.

In this day and age, yes I am, when you tell people that if they have big money they are welcome, but if not pick which 1 of 4 kids get to see their dying father, you can't  go to a relatives funeral but you can go to the funeral parlour afterwards. Film stars are allowed in but not people from covid free areas.Footballers are allowed in, but not Joe blow.

People get frustrated and some feel they have to lash out.

I didn't say it was right, I said it was understandable

The reason she has copped it is because Anastasia Palaszczuk has dropped her in it. The Chief Health Officer  isn't an elected position, it not her Job to make decisions, it's her job to advise the government on health issues, as there would be people who job it is to advise on a whole range of issues like the economy, tourism etc.

It's the government's job to take the advice of all the different experts and then make decisions, but  Anastasia Palaszczuk isn't saying I have made this decision on the advise of the Chief Health Officer's advice, she is just saying it's the Chief Health Officer's decision.

you can't  go to a relatives funeral but you can go to the funeral parlour afterwards.

As usual, there’s 2 sides to every story.
Just depends on how many papers/subscriptions you need to sell or what political points you need to score at the time.....

Yep and whether the paper folds to the left or the right.
I like the fact that the PM had compassion, must be a father thing.

It’s not genuine compassion, it’s all just more pathetic political games.

From the article;
Quote
“My photo, photos of the funeral, a very private moment [were] splashed all over the media, which I thought was just completely inappropriate and really upset me."

Ms Prendergast said it was "unfortunate" individuals felt like they needed to raise issues about border exemptions with politicians and the media to seek a quarantine exemption.

"I think these stories, they're so personal, they're so private, and I think that's part of the reason they're used as a political tool — because they really do pull at the heartstrings — but it's so unfair to put somebody who's going through such a hard time already through the public eye," she said.

"My main issue with raising this in public is actually Scott Morrison [who] provided the time and the location of the funeral, which facilitated a lot of the media coverage, so I guess for me that really is the turning point," she said.

"Previous to that, I don't know that the location was actually announced anywhere."

Ms Prendergast said she thought Mr Morrison was picking and choosing between cases he singled out.

She said her maternal grandmother also died recently.

"Her death and visitation rights of her children have been completely, completely differently treated — not only in the media, but by the Government," Ms Prendergast said.

"Her children didn't get any exemptions by the Prime Minister, they didn't get any intervention by the Prime Minister, and I think it's really disappointing to see that the Prime Minister is able to pick and choose who he would like to facilitate an exemption for.

"I think it's really difficult when these inconsistencies are highlighted by the media. It makes all of those other families and those people that can't get exemptions feel really like they've been cheated."

As the news article above clearly shows, this Queensland family is extremely upset that their grief has been used as a political tool.
They have specificity said that this unwanted media attention has made a very sad situation much, much worse for them.

Now, it’s rather surprising to see that the members on here who so viciously attacked everyone else about their apparent lack of compassion for Victorians not so long ago are the same ones getting involved in a Queensland specific situation and contributing to this family’s grief...

Funny how she accuses the PM for Politicising her families plight when in reality the PM had a private conversation with the Premier, who makes it public and political in State Parliament by raising the matter and accusing the PM of 'bullying' her.  PM is damned if he and damned if doesn't.     Unfortunately for the Constitution doesn't allow the PM to have the 'power and control' some think he has.   In this matter, like the Bush Fires, it was the State Premiers making  all the calls.   Here we have Premiers going completely against what the PM and his Federal advises have advised him and we have a Premier saying it was not her call but the Chief Medical Officer.   So just who is running the State of Queersland?   The Premier or the CMO

I notice the media don't report how many people have been allowed in for funerals!

I was at a funeral a week ago for an old friend, and his daughter, son in law and granddaughter were there, and had come from Canberra, they knew his death was coming, and had submitted an application over 4 weeks ago, and went into voluntary quarantine at home and all got tested before flying to Townsville and went into self isolation here for another 10 days with another test at the end, they were allowed to go to the funeral without any issues and are still here.

I have another friend who is just starting treatment for pancreatic cancer and her daughter was allowed to come from Sydney a month ago.

A good friend of mine is a medical specialist in Brisbane, her opinion is the same as the QLD branch of the AMA, based on best practice following what has happened around the world, they consider the current border closure and travel rules are the correct procedure, she also said the media is being very selective in reporting the true version of events!

On TV tonight, there was a couple in Canberra who want to come to Brisbane, but wont' because they will have to quarantine in a hotel, they won't come because they might contract corona virus in the hotel! quite frankly they are not going to let everybody design their own travel regulations!

Maybe if the PM wishes to improve his his PR image, he can fix the nursing home issue, where they dropped the ball a few years ago!

I'm confused.

She writes a "scathing" letter to the Premier which is read in parliament, but says the Prime Minister is the one who politicised the issue?

Maybe you read the article to quickly..
Sarah Caisip had travelled from Canberra, which has been declared a COVID-19 hotspot by Queensland Health.
She was eventually allowed out of mandatory hotel quarantine to attend a private viewing after the funeral service had ended, having written a scathing letter to Ms Palaszczuk, which was tabled in State Parliament.

The daughter is complaining about the media spotlight brought about by the sister in law going to the media stamping her feet while having a hissy fit.. her middle name is Karen perhaps?
