A senior policeman has sparked outrage after an irate customer filmed him buying bread without a face mask in locked-down Brisbane.
The officer bought a packet of crumpets at Mango Hill Bakery, in the Morton Bay Region of the city's north, about 11am on Wednesday - the day after face coverings were made mandatory in southeast Queensland.

Failing to comply with the public health order carries a fine of $200, but the officer did not seem concerned as mask-wearing bakery staffers watched in shock.

The officer nodded and headed back to his police car, as the customer called after him: 'Come on mate, follow the instructions we've all been given.'
'If I didn't have a mask you'd say something to me, wouldn't you? You would, pal.'
