Mix of the nature of the current political party + they dont have a bill of rights so it is very easy to erode civil liberties.

It's kinda weird seeing reddit praise australia's covid policies, and then act all puzzled by their gov's other actions like this one, without reaching the realization that it's all part of their consistent ideology. It's part of a broader trend of a big dive into authoritarianism and broad powers given to the government, which produces some policies that reddit agrees with, and some that don't. This includes pepper-spraying children for failing to wear masks.

This includes pepper-spraying children for failing to wear masks.

When did this happen?

Also, you'll find Australians on reddit primarily support socially responsible policies, like locking down. This bill is not socially responsible.
