‘Scared’: Aussie mum dealt crushing blow after viral video

An Aussie mum has been dealt another crushing blow after copping a “ridiculous” fine while in her car just last month.

A Queensland mum has been dealt another crushing blow after going viral for being slapped with a “ridiculous” fine.

Belinda Rose, made national headlines after copping an $806 fine on her own property.

Ms Rose says the TikTok video, which has amassed over 1.2 million views, has led to her employment being terminated.

“I’ve done nothing wrong,” she told her followers as she broke the heartbreaking news.

“I’m angry and I’m scared,” the 51-year-old mother added.

Just last month, Belinda revealed she had been fined a whopping $806 for sleeping in her car while it was parked on her Gold Coast property.

“Did you know it was illegal to sleep in your vehicle? Well it is!” she said at the time.

“I got woken up at 1.30am this morning. A council worker must have been patrolling the area, and the little weasel must have called the police officer. The two of them were at my door at 1.30am and they issued me with this notice.

“My house is currently in the process of being built, there’s only a few things left to do, and yet I’m not allowed to stay in my van,” she added.

Viewers were just as confused as Belinda, wondering where the line between unlawful camping and simply taking a rest in your car on a road trip, or setting up a tent in one’s backyard.

“Don’t drive tired but also don’t sleep or rest in your car,” said one viewer.

“So they tell us to pull up and rest while travelling long distances … how hypocritical,” said another.

“So if I set up a tent in the back yard and camp out with my kids, will I get a fine too? How is this any different?! What we do on our own property is no one’s business,” added a third person.

Many suggested Belinda contest the fine, given she was on her own property at the time.

“Don’t pay, take it to court, show you are the owner of the property and make them apologise and ask for them to pay costs for court and your wasted time,” one commenter suggested.

“That’s appalling. They shouldn’t even have been stepping on your private property,” another criticised.

Belinda revealed she “did not expect” for the clip to go viral and is now dealing with the loss of her job as a consequence.

“All I did was share my opinion online,” she stated.

“I still have to pay the bills.”
