Just an observation, and I haven't gone back through old posts to confirm, but it seems that those who were generally supportive of the lock downs last year are now questioning the severity of the penalties for breaking the international travel ban on citizens. Vice versa, those who were generally critical of the lock downs are now supportive of the penalties applied for international travel. Not saying who is wrong or right.
Also here is an interesting article from BBC. The news of potential jail terms for returning citizens is getting some international attention. Interpret it anyway you like, positive or negative. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-56953052 "So in an emergency situation, the government can make something a criminal offence overnight. At the height of the pandemic last year, the government beefed up its Biosecurity Act to give the health minister near unconditional powers bypassing parliament." There was a lot of media and public attention put towards the State Of Emergency that Victoria tried to extend last year through parliament, it seems this one snuck through without a mention. |
