South Australia’s extreme COVID-19 restrictions are on track to become a permanent fixture, according to a segment from 7 News.

As the reporter explained, “the new [South Australian COVID-19] legislation is said to replace the Emergency Management Act responsible for rules like mandatory quarantining and mask wearing.”

“But the alternative bill could face some pushback in the Upper House. The law society says it lacks detail and would hand the governor extraordinary, permanent powers,” she went on.
