Conspiracy theorist Eve Black has been issued a warning by Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews that she could be fined $10,000 if she continues her “selfish” actions.
Black was dramatically arrested in Melbourne on Wednesday, a week after she was filmed laughing her way through a police checkpoint.
On Thursday Andrews announced 9998 cumulative cases in the state during his daily update including 723 in 24 hours in the largest and most shocking update yet.
He also made a swipe at those disobeying lockdown measures, saying this “is not about human rights, this is about human life”.

“Seriously, like, this is not about human rights, this is about human life. This is not about some obscure nonsense you’ve read on a website. There are rules. There are laws in place. And everyone should follow them.
“Anyone who thinks this is a good thing to do, not only is it wrong but it’s not particularly smart, because Victoria Police are out there and they’re doing their job well.”
The 28-year-old caused anger after she posted a video of herself to social media of her arguing with a police officer at a coronavirus checkpoint last week.
She was detained just before 2 pm Thursday in an arrest that forced police to smash her car window.
Police has labelled her actions as “selfish, childish, ridiculous and unnecessary”.
