‘Concentrate on your own lockdown’: Sunrise boss Michael Pell slams Georgia Love

Sunrise boss Michael Pell has criticised former Bachelorette Georgia Love after she shared a video of people in Bondi not wearing masks or social distancing.

Channel 7 reporter and former Bachelorette Georgia Love has been criticised for posting a video showing large numbers of people in Bondi during lockdown.

Love, who lives in Melbourne, re-shared an eyebrow-raising video on Twitter writing, “Bondi right now, where masks nor social distance seem to matter #COVID19nsw.”

The post garnered mixed reactions and Sunrise boss Michael Pell was among those criticising the former reality TV star.

Georgia Love’s Twitter post sparked a backlash.

Sunrise executive producer Michael Pell fired back.

“And posting random videos from a different city... wouldn’t you just concentrate on your own lockdown?” Pell tweeted.

The Channel 7 Executive Producer was responding to Sky News host Laura Jayes, who said Love’s post was “unnecessary”.

“Well, this is unnecessary. Of the more than 1000 cases in NSW — none have been proven to have transmitted outdoors. The infection is spreading in homes, workplaces, shops,” Jayes wrote.

Nova’s National News Director Michelle Stephenson also weighed in.

“And using camera angles that trick the eye,” Stephenson wrote.

Love responded writing, “Not sure what camera tricks you think are being used here? But I will also put on the record this is not my video, it was sent to me, and that filming in a public place is entirely allowed without receiving consent from individuals.”

It comes after reports that Police Minister David Elliott is considering closing eastern suburbs beaches due to complaints and fears of a fresh outbreak.

On Sunday, New South Wales announced 105 local cases of Covid-19 and one death.

Sydney has been in lockdown since June 26.
