I noted earlier how the Daniel Andrews Victorian Government had taken an Omnibus Bill to state parliament that, if passed by the upper house, would have allowed non-police authorised officers permitted to enter people’s homes without a warrant, as well as arrest and detain Victorians for unlimited periods of time:
Victorians have reason to be wary of the state government’s controversial COVID-19 omnibus bill.
…given the pandemic has lasted much longer than envisaged, the six-month limit is not enough and the omnibus bill seeks to extend provisions until April next year. That all makes sense.
