A coronavirus conspiracy nut has refused to wear a mask outside a Melbourne Kmart because they are ‘against her religion’.
Jacquie Dundee Muller bizarrely claimed masks were ‘the mark of the beast’, in reference to the Biblical apocalypse in the Book of Revelations.
The ‘Lorne mum’ and a friend approached the shop and were stopped by officers who asked if she had her mask with her.
‘It’s against my belief, it’s against my religion,’ Ms Muller told the stunned policeman who was trying to to enforce the mandatory mask order.

‘Religion… OK can I get your details please,’ he responded – but she refused.
‘No, I don’t consent, I don’t have to give you my details. What crime have I committed?’ Ms Muller retorted.
When the officer told her she wasn’t wearing a mask in a public place, she demanded he write down HIS details.
He asked for paper but she insisted he had to provide it, while repeatedly asking what crime she had committed.
‘You’re the only person here not wearing a mask,’ the increasingly frustrated policeman said as he gestured around the shopping centre.
A female senior constable approached and told Ms Muller the public health order was authorised by a state of emergency.

‘We know the law and I’ve studied the law and there’s no state of emergency,’ Ms Muller said.
‘These aren’t laws, they are directives, they require consent. You are in breach of your oath, which is to protect the people.
‘This isn’t protecting the people, this is upholding directives.’
‘It’s against my belief, it’s against my religion, I will not wear a mask, it’s the mark of the beast – Revelations 13.’
The two officers at this point had enough and decided to let her off with a warning and walk away – but Ms Muller wasn’t done yet.
‘Please take them off sometimes to stop breathing carbon dioxide,’ she called after them.
‘I need to make a correction… a state of Emergency has been declared on no basis! No Foundation, No Evidence!’ she said in another solo video on Saturday
Ms Muller is part of a growing group who claim the public health order making mask wearing compulsory in Melbourne is invalid.
They also refuse to ever give their details to police at traffic stops and ignore checkpoints limiting movement around Victoria and between states.

Dozens of them meet in a boxing gym in Cranbourne to discuss ‘the putrid conduct of police, government and media lies’ about coronavirus.
Numerous videos have popped up around Melbourne and on the NSW-Queensland border with the obnoxious troublemakers spouting suspiciously similar nonsense.
They are all reading from the same script they believe will protect them from fines or prosecution, and even allow them to sue police for unlawful detention.
The detailed document tells them to ignore all police questions and ask a series of their own that include asking officers to arrest each other and demanding thousands of dollars for ‘unlawful detention’.
