An Aussie traveller with a mullet and a funky shirt couldn’t lie when asked how he plans to spend his 14 days in virus isolation.

An Aussie traveller couldn’t lie when asked how he plans to spend his 14 days in coronavirus isolation.

The mullet-bearing man in a questionable shirt arrived at Gold Coast Airport on Tuesday, after the government announced that anyone arriving in Australia from overseas will be forced to self-isolate for 14 days

It was then that a reporter asked him to share his thoughts on the compulsory quarantine period as he exited the terminal.

“Yeah just gonna lock myself in and punch some cones for a couple of days,” the traveller answered, with astonishing honesty, before bursting into laughter.

The cameraman is heard laughing in shock before telling the bloke “you can't say that, they'll probably use it”.

The mulleted man’s travelling companion told him he was “going to go viral” and he’d have to stay inside to avoid the attention.

“I'm gonna have to stay inside anyway,” the cone-puncher responded.

The Government: All international arrivals must self-isolate for 14 days to stop the spread of coronavirus.

It comes after the Prime Minister warned Australians are likely to have to change their way of life for at least six months as parts of the nation shut down to combat the coronavirus spread, the Prime Minister has warned.

Scott Morrison’s acknowledgment of the time frame comes as states and territories declare public health emergencies, giving officials greater powers to detain people or restrict movements.

Mr Morrison called for the nation to work together to slow the spread of the virus, acknowledging Australians will face greater restrictions as they seek to carry on with their lives.

“This will be a difficult six months. It could be longer. It could be sooner than that,” he told ABC radio.

For our man in the Gold Coast, let’s hope he has a big enough supply to keep himself going.
