Fined for flying home

A 61-YEAR-OLD man has been slapped with a $1557 fine after he arrived in Hobart from Melbourne on Thursday, with police finding he had previously been rejected from entering the state four separate times.

Police said the man had spent time in regional Victoria.

The G2G system revealed he’d been rejected from entering Tasmania four other times in the last month.

Police said 10 people had unlawfully tried to enter Tasmania in the last three months.

The man was fined for failing to comply with the lawful direction of an emergency worker and was sent to government quarantine at his own expense.
