Information requested
1. Was it legal to implement ANY restrictions to peoples’ liberties during this Covid mess made by the government and where can I find out when this legislation was given under law ?
2. Presently IS it legal to continue restrictions?
3. Is it now legal to trample over people human rights (as no one has ever answered this when I asked)?
4. Does Covid take priority over human rights?
5. Why does the government take advice from these doctors and ministers that don’t believe what they are preaching themselves you know the ones ! And why won’t she take instruction from the electorate?
6. Has any party voted against these ridiculous measures?
7. If masks are the be all and end all then why have more restrictions?
8. Have i the right to choose to wear a mask and follow these life destroying rules?
