There is no reason for the media to mention their religion .It is not normal practice for the media to mention the religion of anyone who commits a crime isn`t that so ?
The fact that a long time member of this board verifys they are JW`s is good enough for me.
an - Victorian ? Is the Watchtower into time travel now ?
That was my first thought as a Brit.
An update.
Seems the couple are deeper in the shit than a Werribee duck.
The Melbourne duo who sparked a Covid-19 scare after travelling to the Sunshine State have copped another fine for a stop they made along the way.
James HallNCA NewsWireJune 25, 20213:47pmThe couple who left Melbourne during the city’s lockdown and drove into Queensland before testing positive to Covid-19 have been slapped with another fine.
The duo travelled through NSW and on to the Sunshine Coast earlier this month without a travel exemption, putting the state on high alert of a potentially deadly outbreak.
Last Friday, Queensland authorities issued the pair with a $4000 fine each and the NSW counterparts have now compounded the punishment, slapping the pair with a fine for breaching a state public health order.
NSW Police confirmed on Friday the couple had each been issued a fine of $1000 for visiting a cinema on their journey through the state, which is deemed as non-essential.
Other stops the couple made as they travelled on the Newell Highway were deemed essential, including visits to retail stores, food outlets and service stations.
“The pair also attended a cinema on Macquarie Street, Dubbo, on Wednesday 2 June 2021, which is deemed non-essential activity under the Public Health Act,” NSW Police said.
The pair were first fined in Queensland and now again in NSW. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Simon DallingerSource:News Corp Australia
The pair were reported to have spent several days in regional NSW before reaching Queensland, where they were moving interstate, on June 5.
The 44-year-old woman tested positive in Caloundra on June 8, almost a week after she first developed symptoms, while her partner was confirmed as a new case soon after.
The woman and her husband left Victoria on June 1 after a hard lockdown was announced and travelled through regional Queensland centres Goondiwindi and Toowoomba.

Initially, authorities reserved judgment on the pair but Queensland chief health officer Dr Jeannette Young revealed soon after the infections were reported that her department had not given the couple permission to forego strict directives.
“No, they didn’t come through the exemption process, so it’s now up to police to investigate whether they came through any other process,” she said.

The couple were both transported to Sunshine Coast University Hospital to be quarantined, while 17 close contacts of the pair were identified, including the family members they were staying with in Caloundra.
The other 15 were at venues at the same time as the couple as they travelled into the state.

And yes, It's confirmed among elders in Victoria and Queensland. They are jws although not as regular attendees as most. One elder stated "They've given us a headache".

Oh, Clarification.
Werribee in Victoria is the site of a sewerage treatment plant!

This treatment is absolute bullshit. Australia should have revolted along with the USA. Not that the powers here are not willing to impose their will on we peasants
If they travelled from Victoria to Queensland even once a year to see family then they are not going to be seen as regular attendees as most.
