REVIEW, Change Bill & Length of Time CORONA Virus Laws are in place(NOT 2 YEARS)
Ensure the bill is changed, reviewed or scrapped; not instated for two years as this could affect civil rights and erode our civil liberties.

This could lead to an abuse of power if the private food sector is controlled, more police powers and surveillance is increased until 2022.
These laws could also lead to a more authoritarian styled state if it isn’t changed or reviewed.
It is understandable that measures have to be taken; however the bill being passed for two years; which could be extended for more time isn’t realistic under current circumstances as these “draconian measures” go against our democratic system and civil rights.
