A case of coronavirus that sparked the evacuation of National Australia Bank's headquarters in Melbourne, turned out to be fake.
About 6,000 people were evacuated from 700 Bourke Street in Docklands last week, after an NAB employee reported testing positive to COVID-19.
The 15-floor building was sanitised as a result and staff were told to work from home.
But an internal email sent to NAB employees by the bank's chief people officer, Susan Ferrier, said the company had determined the testing information provided by the staff member was "falsified".
"The colleague subsequently took a test which was negative. Reflecting the severity of this matter, the colleague will not be returning to NAB," the email said.

NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard today lambasted the "unacceptable" behaviour of people who abused medical professionals because they believed they were spreading coronavirus.
"It's not Australian, it's not the way Aussies behave," he said in a press conference.
In Europe the medical workers are lauded as heroes. Whole nations applaud them from their balconies. I'll be very surprised if the same happens here.

Police around the country have collectively doled out hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines for people breaching social-distancing rules or self-isolation.
Some of the reasons are pretty out there.
In Perth, a 35-year-old man who was put in a hotel for two weeks of quarantine was found to have wedged open the fire exit door, allowing him to leave and re-enter the hotel as he pleased without being seen by staff.
Police also said he used public transport during his outings.
He was arrested and refused bail. Presumably, he now has a poorer chance of wedging open his jail cell door.

Now a government advisor and specialist in infectious disease, Sir Jeremy Farrar, has pointed to what probably should have been obvious to us all if we looked closely enough.
"It's certainly one of the worst if not the worst-affected country in Europe," he declared on the BBC on Easter Sunday when the UK death toll passed the dreaded 10,000 mark.

Coober Pedy party
Police have fined three people at a birthday party at a house in Coober Pedy that had 17 guests.
Police say the party was held on Tuesday night, with ten adults and seven children in attendance.
The three people who held the party were fined, and four guests were cautioned.
Since the coronavirus restrictions came into place, police have issued 45 fines and 35 formal cautions, mainly to people breaching quarantine or self isolation rules.
Spitting appears to be a modern disease that is partially promoted by A F L Football. As soon as a player spits, the director plays a zoomed camera to show the despicable act. I cannot understand why. Minutes later players are probably rolling around in the goobers.

A Coffs Harbour man, who falsely claimed to have COVID-19, has been fined $550 over an incident in which he deliberately coughed on a 71-year-old police employee.
He filmed himself carrying out the "joke" on March 24 as he reported to Coffs Harbour Police Station as part of bail conditions for other matters.
Following the incident he was charged with giving false information and resisting or hindering a police officer in the execution of their duties. He pleaded guilty to both charges.

A 42-year-old woman has been arrested for spitting on a nurse walking through Adelaide's CBD.
Police alleged the woman was assaulted while she was walking down Hindley St on her way to work around 7:30am yesterday.
As of October last year, it's a specific offence to assault an emergency service worker and as a result of coronavirus, there's a presumption against bail for people on those charges.
South Australia Police Commissioner Grant Stevens says the alleged attack is unacceptable. Link below in a news update

unless it is a very serious crime people don't usually go to jail for a first offence.
the BLM movement in america is more about how police treat people of colour and how hard it is for a person of colour to change their circumstances
in Australia it would seem to be more about how aborigines are treated when in custody. 432 deaths in custody since the royal commission from the early 1990 era an most of the recommendations have not been implemented . what i haven't seen is a breakdown of how the deaths occurred were they suicides ,bashing's, neglect police/ prison officers implicated or not. the attitude of some of the organizers is they don't care about the rules and the laws (as stated by one lady with purple hair with an axe to grind) but in the end it may be her fellow Australians in rural communities that will pay with their lives, should we have a rampant second wave. as stated earlier very few people go to jail for a first offence .
