A Tweed-Heads local has been fined after laying down on the Gold Coast border and taunting police officers who denied him entry into Queensland for exercise purposes.
The man protested with police for over an hour claiming he was allowed to cross the border to “go for a swim”.
He pleaded guilty in the Southport Magistrates Court on Monday afternoon and received a $1378 fine for failing to comply with a COVID-19 direction.
