‘Got to obey the law’: deported bikies promise to behave in New Zealand quarantine
Former Rebels president says he understands importance of health rules as two other returning travellers who broke out of isolation go through courts
Jacinda Ardern’s government expressed its unhappiness this week about Australia resuming deportations of New Zealanders during the Covid-19 pandemic – but at least one motorcycle gang boss has pledged that he and his associates will adhere perfectly to quarantine rules for returning travellers.
“The guys here in Melbourne, we’ve had a good chat, and we know that there’re rules in quarantine that we’ve got to follow and we also know that we’ve got to stick by … you know, you’ve got to obey the law there,” Raymond Elise, a former president of the Rebels motorcycle gang’s Victoria branch, told the news outlet Stuff.
