This article[1] has a little more detail.

Some things to note: * There were fifteen separate incidents of quarantine breach. He also, "regularly left his house for hours at a time" during that period. * The magistrate as much as said the harshness was in-part a warning to other would-be offenders (sending a "powerful message"). Yeah, we do take quarantine pretty seriously here. Having gone through the extended lockdowns in Victoria, while our geography was advantageous, it also required a huge effort of societal and political will and cooperation to get back to zero community transmission. It relied on following the advice of our health experts and scientists in the face of large economic and political pressures. In Melbourne now we are enjoying reasonably normal conditions compared to B.C. (Before COVID) times. So we have a pretty low tolerance for any "dick-head" that may put that at risk. That said, I'm surprised at jail time instead of a steep monetary fine. It is a shame we pretty much squandered our gains with a very poorly handled vaccination roll-out (but that's a discussion for another time).
