Yep... a bit of that + a bit of "rich man's syndrome" + a bit of its "just two of us, won't make a difference".
Not excusing the act but I can understand why they did it. I nearly donated a kidney to charity to be at the 2013 grand final.

Tested negative. I think the severity of the punishment had something to do with the extraordinary lengths that they went to in concealing their deed. Even took out a tenancy agreement in NT to trick officials into thinking they lived there.
Jail term seems really harsh, but imagine if they did in fact bring the virus over, and seeded delta in WA. Would have had a disastrous impact on a lot of lives and livelihoods given vax rates. I think the jail term under 12 months was deliberate, as to not affect their longer term job and travel prospects.
