Pandemic Management bill. Health and well-being Act 2021.

An interesting observation I've heard about the pandemic laws being introduced around the country, ignoring the fact they should be Federal and not State based.

The pandemic laws are framed in the context of what might need to happen if we had no vaccines and no remedies, while the protests frame an argument in relation to an environment that is a result of vaccines and remedies.

The protests basically use the resulting success of vaccines and remedies to argue we don't need vaccines and remedies.

The Pandemic laws are State-based since it is the State Governments that control the on-the-ground health systems.  And therein lies a fundamental problem we have with healthcare in this country - we pay the Feds via Medicare taxation, who then (supposedly) distribute it to the various State coffers.  All it does is offer the two levels of Government the chance to blame each other for the times where our healthcare system falls short.
