You people have lost your minds. Masks don't work (which is what every RCT concluded before Covid started), the vaccines are a poor risk proposition for huge segments of the population they're being administered to, and Covid is a virus on par with the 1968 influenza season whose threat is being vastly overstated to cajole the public into agreeing to things like banning assembly and protest.

It's always interesting to see how people spin narratives to fit their own biases and preconceived notions, as exemplified by the criticism of vaccines in this context. If the general public was more likely to be thoughtful and considerate, rather than bombastic and dismissive, there would (probably) be fewer such news stories about restricting the spread of misinformation.

And just like that, you owe Australia $11k.

Seems so far the fines are just proposed for people posting about "illegal" rallies (lol), so we're maybe still two or three months out from just criminalizing questioning of the Covid dogma as such.
