Immigration Minister Alex Hawke says temporary visa holders who breach Australia's coronavirus health orders could be stripped of their visas and deported back home.
He did not specify how or if authorities would track down the partygoers.

On Christmas Day, hundreds of unmasked backpackers were seen drinking, dancing and singing in the park next to Bronte Beach, which neighbours the famous Bondi Beach in Sydney. Witnesses believed the majority were from the UK or "not Australian".

NSW Police told that no penalties were issued to those at the gathering "It was an operational decision at the time, there being so many people to deal with".

The event has sparked anger among locals, with health officials calling it "absolutely appalling".

Sydney is battling a new outbreak after months of no local cases.
The outbreak has already grown to 129 cases.

Could??

Honey put those backpacks on their backs and uber them directly to the airport. No second chances, the whole world knows at this point how important the rules are around this stuff. There's no pleading ignorance. And fine the ones who are from Aussie too  

No  more  second  chances

What a shame, I always regarded backpackers as cool, romantic people. So disapointed!

Deport them! If they have no responsability to the laws of the country they are visiting, better get rid of them!
