Emergency powers abused.
Hi Everyone,
This story is hard to believe but shows what Govts. can do using emergency or wartime powers.
Marconi was robbed of his radio company and all his patents.
Jump to 6:00
In around 1918 Marconi America had their company and all their patents stolen by the US Govt. and
instead of giving it back after the war it was sold off by the Govt. to General Electric.
That is the ultimate theft and means patents are useless.
Even owning your own company is a waste of time.
You don't own anything.
When does "this is not yours" mean anything?
Or – “you can’t sell what is not yours.”

Re: Emergency powers abused.
What do our laws say?

What is a State of Disaster?
A State of Disaster declaration gives the Victorian Police Minister broad powers to direct and co-ordinate the activities of all government agencies and allocate resources necessary to respond to the disaster.[8] The Police Minister may also:[9]
suspend parts of legislation where it would inhibit the response or recovery to a disaster;
take possession of property necessary for responding to a disaster;

Poor Dan, he is running around like a headless chook. Let everybody go back to work, let shops open. People with genuine health issues remain isolated but let the healthy fight it out in the community. IF they catch the virus then do whatever. Our Country can't continue being shutdown, where will the money come from to run the country if everybody is sitting at home on their backsides getting "job -whatever-payment". Businesses are going broke and people are getting fed up, next we will have Anna Quay (anarchy) running around. That'll be fun to watch.
Oh, and wear a mask, stay your distance and wash your bloody hands!

Re: Emergency powers abused.
This is outrageous.

The bill to extend state of emergency powers in Victoria for six months passed the upper house following a marathon debate that trickled into the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Upper House Opposition leader David Davis has come out this morning slamming the decision, claiming the debate was “gagged” and the final outcome “a dagger in the heart of democracy”.
The bill to extend the emergency powers in Victoria for six months passed at 2am following a marathon debate.
The vote went down to the wire with 20 MPs voting in favour and 19 against.
The extension gives chief health officer Brett Sutton the power to extend and impose COVID-19 restrictions, such as a curfew and mandatory mask wearing in public, for another six months.
But Mr Davis demanded answers on why Labor MPs voted to stop questions being asked on the crucial legislation.
“The Andrews Government described the bill as the most important to be debated this parliamentary term, yet time and time again, Labor voted to prevent important questions from being asked,” he said.
“It was a shameful, arrogant and undemocratic display that Victorians have been accustomed to from Victorian Labor and Daniel Andrews.
“Victorians have concerns they wanted addressed in state parliament. Sole traders are suffering, self-harm in students has risen dramatically, families are being locked inside their homes, multicultural communities have been ignored and businesses may never open again. Yet, Daniel Andrews and Labor shamefully turned their back on all Victorians.”
The Opposition has accused the government of gagging debate in the final hours of the marathon debate on Wednesday morning.
Leader of the Opposition in the upper house David Davis said Labor voted to gag Opposition questions
on the impacts of further restrictions, on mental health advice the government received and the legality of the bill.

Re: Emergency powers abused.
So there we go - at 2am in the morning - like a thief in the night -
our rights were stolen and debate was gagged.
Democracy was usurped.
It wasn't even broadcast on radio or TV.

Why wasn't it broadcast on radio or TV?
Why the coverup and the debate gagged - for it's important -
what will happen to us in the next 6 months?
It's criminal.
Over 5 million people lose their human rights for another 6 months
all done by stealth at 2.00am - while we slept.
