Are Victorian Politicians even aware of the unintended consequences that will arise from such amendments to already-laxed laws in the form of emergency powers?
Indeed, it was through Emergency powers that Hitler rise to power and retained his power under the Enabling Act 1933 for the next five years during WWII. On March 24, 1933, the Reichstag passed the Enabling Act, which gave Hitler executive authority without any pretense of parliamentary power.
For a proposed law to not be debated properly, to be rushed through parliament, for it to violate several individual human rights at the same time as being the harshest 'pandemic response' laws based on a 'potential pandemic'- there is only one thing left: Federal intervention based on section 109 of the Constitution - inconsistency.

It appears that the lessons Premier Andrews was referring to learning from the last 20 months was that he did not wield enough power during the pandemic, and that he wanted more - and has now found a way.
It is now incumbent upon Prime Minister Scoot Morrison to intervene and to tear down the tyranny and abhorrent violations of inalienable human rights and freedoms over Victorian citizens before other State Premiers get any ideas!

Australians are counting on you.
With a Federal Election coming up - your decision today will affect your position tomorrow.
