Queensland boxers extinguish eternal flame in lockdown breach stunt

RSL Queensland have told 9News they're furious after two local boxers filmed themselves breaching the state's current lockdown and extinguishing Brisbane's eternal flame.

Tim Warburton and Ryan Mitchem have attempted to defend their actions after they broadcast the disrespectful act on social media, with Mr Warburton jumping the fence and smothering the flame with a jumper.

The incident is one of several reported occurrences of those in the southeast thinking they're above the law in the past 24 hours.

"It's burning and it's gone, perfect … no curfew anymore because the Olympic flame is gone," Mr Mitchem can be heard saying in the video.

Mr Mitchem attempted to defend the action this morning, claiming that he was "against war" and "against countries going to other countries and stealing their resources".

"Yes people died to make us have a better life, but really the winners rewrite history," Mr Mitcham said.

"I've got a hangover, and I don't care."

"You can have an opinion, but you don't actually have to share it."

Mr Warburton has told his followers he'll most likely be on breakfast television over the stunt.

"This guy ... was watching one of my stories, and I'll probably be on tomorrow morning," Mr Warburton said.

Queensland Police have since told 9News that they are aware of the footage and have said a $2,000 fine will apply.

Other than the stunt, Deputy Police Commissioner Steve Gollschewski reported that only one other fine was issued, a man from Nambour who refused to put on a mask.

"He refused on several occasions to wear a mask at the Nambour Library and was handed a $200 penalty infringement notice."
