Of all the extreme measures carried out by various states in
Australia, the collections and confiscations by the State Penalty and
Enforcement Register (SPER) might just be the icing on the cake.

During the lengthy COVID lockdown in the state of Queensland,
Australia (Brisbane area), most workers were not permitted to work or
earn a living.

Several states stepped in to provide wage subsidies so people could
purchase essential products and pay their living expenses.  However,
during the lockdown if you were caught violating any of the lockdown
rules, you were subject to a civil citation, a fine or ticket for your
COVID violation.

Get caught too far from home, outside your permitted bubble, and you
get a ticket.  Get caught spending more than the permitted 1 hour
outside, get a ticket.  Get caught without a mask, even by yourself –
and yep, ticket.  Enter a closed quarantine zone (park, venue, etc.)
and you get a ticket.  Tickets were being handed out by police on the
street as well as during random checkpoints on the roadways.

Additionally, people returning to Queensland were put into a system of
involuntary quarantine.  The costs for that quarantine, mostly hotel
rooms, were to be paid by the people being involuntarily captive and
not allowed home.

Citizens were required to have their physical location scanned via a
QR code on their phone. These checkpoints were to assist in
controlling the COVID spread and were used for contact tracing
throughout the past two years.  However, the checkpoints and gateway
compliance scans also registered your physical location; the
consequence was an increased ability for police and COVID compliance
officers to catch people violating the COVID rules.  Ex: If you
checked in at the grocery store, they knew how far from home you are,
and the police could figure out if you violated your one hour of time
outside the home at the next checkpoint.

The result of all this compliance monitoring was thousands of fines,
civil citations for violating COVID rules.  Thousands of people given
thousands of fines that would need to be paid.

Now the state is requiring all of those civil citations get paid, or
else.  And the enforcement actions to collect these fines from the
State Penalty and Enforcement Register are quite extreme.  Citizens
who have outstanding tickets are finding their driver’s licenses
suspended; bank accounts are being frozen and seized; homes and
property are are being confiscated, as well as business licenses
suspended for outstanding citations.

“Queenslanders who received fines for breaking Covid-19 rules risk
having their homes seized and bank accounts frozen in a government
crackdown to collect $5.2 million in repayments.” (LINK)

Brisbane Times – “SPER was undertaking “active enforcement” on another
18.4 per cent of fines, worth about $1 million, which a spokesman said
“may include garnishing bank accounts or wages, registering charges
over property, or suspending driver licences”.   The remaining 25.2
per cent of fines were either under investigation or still open to
payment without further action being taken.

Outside SPER’s work, Queensland Health took the unusual step of
calling in private debt collectors to chase up $5.7 million amounting
from 2045 significantly overdue invoices for hotel quarantine.  (read
