Police were patrolling at 3:30pm when they observed Curran s Holden Captiva and pulled her over for questioning. She said she was unaware of the suspension but had racked up 12 demerit points. Magistrate Callaghan told the court Curran had also previously been caught driving twice as a learner without the direction of someone else.
A second foreigner has had his visa cancelled and been deported following his attendance at an illegal rave in Queensland. The 27-year-old German national pleaded guilty to state drug charges related to the rave in Gympie Magistrates Court on Monday. He was then detained by the Australian Border Force, which cancelled his visa on the grounds of that conviction in addition to separate earlier drug charges. His deportation follows that of a French national on January 19 that the ABF said highlighted their uncompromising approach to threats posed to the Australian community by those intentionally breaching COVID-19 restrictions. The New Year s party at Gallangowan State Forest, west of Noosa, attracted more than 1000 people between December 31 and January 2.
