Most of us have said something that we regret at work. Whether it's letting a coworker know what you really think of them, or simply blurting out your frustrations with the job.

This is something Australian reporter Lana Murphy now knows too well after she accidentally said "f*** my life" during a 4 pm news bulletin.

The incident took place while she was informing viewers about people who were breaking the rules during Melbourne's Stage 4 lockdown.

While delivering her report, Murphy stumbled over a word or two, causing her to say "f*** my life" as she prepared for another take while stroking her hair.

But unfortunately, a blunder meant that it was this take aired by the news outlet.

Murphy subsequently took to Twitter to apologize for her mistake and to explain that she won't be losing her job as a result.

"Thanks for the love friends & apologies to those who got more than they bargained for on @9NewsMelb," she wrote.

"Unfortunately the wrong version (clearly) of a pre-record made it to air but thankfully I have a great boss and I'll be back on your screens tomorrow. 2020 though am I right?"

However, while Murphy's blooper undoubtedly got more than a few smiles, the situation she was covering has not.

This is because a number of people are claiming to be sovereign citizens so that they can flout the lockdown rules, SBS News reports.

The sovereign citizen's movement is formed by people who believe that they are above local, state, or federal laws. Instead, they live by their own interpretation of common law.

The actions of those claiming to be sovereign citizens is putting lives in danger as the state grapples with the ongoing pandemic.

Chief Commissioner Shane Patton said during a press conference cited by the Gladstone Observer: "In the last week, we've seen a trend, an emergence if you like, of groups of people, small groups, but nonetheless concerning groups, who classify themselves as sovereign citizens, whatever that might mean.

"People who don't think the law applies to them. We've seen them at checkpoints baiting police, not providing a name and address.

"On at least four occasions in the last week, we've had to smash the windows of cars and pull people out to provide details because they weren't adhering to the Chief Health Officer guidelines, they weren't providing their name and address."
