Taxpayers will foot the bill for the extra weeks an Australian woman who refused to be tested for Covid-19 stayed in a Wellington managed isolation facility.

Lucinda Baulch will only have to pay the standard rate of $3100 for the first 14 days of her 28 day stay, which ended this evening with a generic health check and the taxpayer will have to pick up the rest of the tab.

The qualified vet nurse refused to be tested  and said if she was given certain information which she had requested then she would have consented to a Covid-19 test.

Minister of Covid response  said: “Managed isolation nurses had conversations with Lucinda Baulch regarding testing and other matters. Additional clarification was also provided in response to Ms Baulch’s phone calls and emails, in line with information already provided.”

She still plans on taking legal action.

UPDATE: 

Lucinda Baulch has been released after 28 days in a Wellington managed isolation facility despite refusing to take a Covid-19 test.
She decided to stay in New Zealand but in Auckland “for a night or two" until she decided her next step.  
She was transported to the Wellington Airport to fly to Auckland in a van arranged by the facility and was the only passenger and did not wear a mask.

Baulch already has challenged Covid-19 rules, back in Australia, she participated in an anti-lockdown protest.

An Australian vet nurse has spent 25 28 days in New Zealand hotel quarantine after refusing to get a Covid test. 

Lucinda Baulch is in managed isolation in the Grand Mercure in Wellington as she waits for scientific evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of PCR testing.

She has stated once she receives a scientific guarantee that the PCR test is categorically safe, she will happily have a Covid swab. 

'As someone with a medical background and knowing the importance of informed consent... I'm entitled to it, it's a right, it's an obligation of the party offering a consent form,' said Baulch. 

She knows the longest time frame she can be kept in hotel isolation by the government is 28 days. Once that expires, she plans to take the matter to court.

Why are some people so bloody stubborn  

[777777777777777777 22,286]

In the past she participated in an anti-lockdown protest in Australia.
 

[G U C C I 2,721]

She's one of those people who believe that we should all let the elderly and others prone to the virus potentially die so she can live like it's 2019 again. That is until someone in her immediate family dies and then she sues because they weren't made aware of the risks.

Tisk tisk tisk, the entitlement

[777777777777777777 22,286]

She has been released after 28 days and now taxpayers have to pay for her extra 14 days.
She still plans on taking legal action, which she thinks has a good chance of being successful.
