A serial offender for breaching Public Health Orders has copped a $7000 fine after police caught him travelling to Byron Bay to attend an anti-lockdown protest.
Rodni Kisar has been found guilty of not complying with Covid-19 directions after he was intercepted by police on Bangalow Road on September 18, 2021.
Kisar appeared at Mullumbimby Local Courthouse on Wednesday, November 9, when he was convicted.
The court heard Kisar had two previous convictions for breaching the Public Health Act.
Magistrate Karen Stafford said Kisar had been found guilty of repeatably breaching Covid-19 rules and had displayed an “attitude” about orders put in place to protect the community.
“The police have dealt with you twice and you continue to offend in a similar way, making you likely to reoffend,” Ms Karen said.
“You have an attitude to the Public Health Orders everyone had been subject to at the time.”
Ms Stafford convicted Kisar and fined him $7000.
The maximum sentence for breaching Public Health Orders is six months’ imprisonment or an $11,000 fine.
