A Melbourne man has been abused on social media after he “dobbed in” two young boys selling soft drinks and lollies from a stall.
The man, who has since deleted his Twitter account, posted a photo over the weekend of two young boys sitting at a makeshift stall fashioned from an ironing board, selling cans of soft drink and lollies.
The post drew hundreds of angry responses, with many criticising him for showing the children’s faces. In another post from April, the man tweeted at Premier Daniel Andrews a photo of people lining up at a Mr Whippy ice cream van in Abbotsford. “While we appreciate the entrepreneurial endeavours of these young Victorians, selling drinks and treats at an outdoor stand is not permitted under the current restrictions,” a DHHS spokeswoman said.
