A stuntman has been fined a total of $7000 by Queensland and New South Wales Police, after he allegedly rode through the crowd on horseback at Sunday’s lockdown protest on the Queensland-New South Wales border.

Michael Corrigan was photographed and videoed riding a speckled-grey horse bareback at Coolangatta, as a crowd of 1000 people gathered to protest the harsh restrictions on movement between NSW and Queensland.

Footage showed Mr Corrigan egging on the crowd before galloping away to the cheers of protestors.

“Cross over, everyone go across the border. They cannot arrest us all,” he yelled.

Mr Corrigan was fined $4,135 by Queensland Police for failing to comply with a direction from the Chief Health Officer.

NSW Police said the 52-year-old stuntman was fined $3,000 for violating stay-at-home orders, after he turned himself in at the Tweed Heads Police Station on Monday.

Queensland Police Acting Chief Superintendent Rhys Wildman spoke on Monday, saying the rider’s actions were being investigated.

“It was quite reckless what he did, riding through the crowd,” he said.

“There were a lot of families, young children, and he actually – a number of times – rode through the crowd trying to whip the crowd into a bit of a frenzy.”

Mr Corrigan has worked in film and television since 1993, including working as a stunt rigger on Thor: Ragnarok in 2017, and as a stunt performer on The Wolverine (2013) and Superman Returns (2006).

NSW Police have charged an additional six people and issued more than 50 infringement notices in relation to the protest, with charges including assault of a police officer, resisting an officer, and unlawfully participating in an outdoor gathering.

Queensland Police arrested one man during the protest, charging him with public nuisance.
