Bar fined for serving unvaccinated patrons ‘uses the penalty notice as toilet paper’
- Queensland bar fined for breaching Covid restrictions uses fine as toilet paper
- Bar Wunder claims it was fined $6,892 because ‘we accept everyone equally’
- Toowoomba venue has posted multiple anti-restriction posts to social media
- Unvaccinated Queenslanders are currently unable to enter hospitality venues
A Queensland bar hit with a hefty fine for serving unvaccinated patrons in defiance of new state-wide restrictions has fired back at critics on social media.
Bar Wunder in Toowoomba in the state’s Darling Downs region has been slapped with a $6,892 fine after welcoming un-jabbed patrons into the venue.
A vaccine mandate introduced on December 18 bars the unvaccinated from entering hospitality and entertainment venues in Queensland.
Patrons above the age of 16 can be asked for proof of vaccination and are required to check-in to venues for contact-tracing purposes.
Bar Wunder took to Facebook on Sunday night to give their side of the story, posting a not-so-subtle photo of the penalty notice being used as toilet paper.
Bar Wunder have reached out to AFIPN to try and cover the situation where police are currently trying to force Bar Wunder management to close down the bar under the health directives in place in Queensland.

‘It’s no secret that we are completely opposed to segregation and will continue to be. Forever,’ the image was captioned.
‘So last night we were issued with a lovely fine of $6892 because we accept everyone equally. We knew exactly what we were up against and still stand by our decisions, with zero regrets.
‘We do not believe this a public health issue, but one of complete control headed towards tyranny. The nonsensical rules are hypocritical and arbitrary and we don’t want to play this game.’
The post went on to say many businesses had suffered because of the ‘weird arse’ rules and said the fine had done nothing to dampen their resolve.
It concluded by using a quote from African-American civil rights activist Rosa Parks: ‘You must never be fearful of what you are doing when it is right’. Read More on this story/Dailymail.co.uk
