An infected Sydney tradie who ignored border bans and travelled to Queensland where he triggered a major Covid scare has shown no remorse.
George Thompson, 26, was fined almost $10,000 for flouting lockdown laws and only escaped a criminal charge because police wanted to deal with it immediately .
He insists he had no clue he had Covid and when asked if he understood why people were angry he said that reaction was fair enough but he wasn t fazed by what others thought of him.

Tech-savvy QLD drivers beat bowser
Minister for Energy, Renewables and Hydrogen and Minister for Public Works and Procurement The Honourable Mick de Brenni
Drivers across the state are saving at the bowser thanks to the Queensland Government’s mandatory fuel price reporting scheme from $48 up north in Cairns to $37 in Rockhampton and $171 per year in Brisbane.
Minister for Energy, Renewables and Hydrogen Mick de Brenni said drivers were checking petrol prices on comparison apps and websites more than 750,000 times per month.
“Our mandatory fuel price reporting is continuing to help Queenslanders,” he said.
“Under mandatory laws introduced by the Palaszczuk Government, servos publish their fuel prices within 30 minutes, so drivers can compare prices through a number of apps and websites.
