A truck driver banned from travelling on a passenger ferry service for a year after the transport company said he swore at staff when he took off his mask while a customer during a Covid outbreak has blasted the decision as extreme .
Michael Thompson, who lives on Russell Island, Queensland, was told by Sealink Bay Islands his behaviour on board their vessels on two occasions in January had led to the 12-month ban - including one incident were police were called.
Mr Thompson was also issued with a $130-on-the-spot fine by cops. Masks were mandatory in Greater Brisbane in all settings outside the home at the time after a hotel quarantine cleaner contracted Covid.

Mike Netter, the lead proponent of Recall Gavin 2020, said this in the early days of the Recall effort:
The success of this Recall will trigger and open a conversation on how California should be run.
The Recall campaign has reached that success, and now Californians are having that conversation or we should be.
Many Californians have no clue that we already have a full slate of candidates to run against Governor Gavin Newsom, once the Recall election date is established. Some officially filed their paperwork for 2022, when Newsom’s first term would have been completed. Others have specifically filed for the 2021 Recall election.
