Hotel quarantine security guards in Western Australia will be given the power to detain people after a conspiracy theorist escaped a Perth hotel.
Jenny Maree D'Ubios, 49, was seven days into her 14-day quarantine when she left the Pan Pacific Hotel on Saturday morning.
Ms D'Ubios made social media threats to leave the hotel before doing so and even called police just after 10am on Boxing Day and threatened to leave.
The Pan Pacific is not a high-risk quarantine hotel and with no police guard to stop her, Ms D'Ubios simply walked out with her face mask dangling uselessly under her chin.
