Given that public gatherings are currently illegal in the majority of Australia and the government are passing draconian laws every week what do you think the average Australian who disagrees with them should do?

    what do you think the average Australian who disagrees with them should do

This is clever wording. To make it clear: The average Australian does not disagree with the lock-downs.

I think the "them" in the GP comment is draconian laws generally, not specifically the lock down.

It is perfectly legal to disagree with them. You just can't say things already illegal and have been illegal for a very long time. Or publicly plan a mass illegal event.

This law just specifies who is responsible for the laws being broken.

so you can disagree with them, just not online or in public or in private with anyone not in your household?

Do you see any issues with this?

> Do you see any issues with this?

Yes, in that you're just ignoring the comment you replied to and repeating the same incorrect nonsense.

Disagreeing with a law does not require breaking that law. You're perfectly welcome to disagree with the lockdowns in Victoria and NSW, and you can do that wherever you want. You're not welcome to break them.

Its just like Carrie Lam says, People who break the law cannot expect to be considered part of civil society.

You can disagree with them though. Disagreeing is not limited to posting an event with a time and location which is illegal. There are many ways to disagree.

How would commenting on a news article allow you to communicate your disagreement to the people in charge? Contact your local representative for instance. Do people really think anyone other than equally angry people read anything they wrote in those comments?

Ultimately tiktok is enjoyable and I feel happy after closing it. Western apps by comparison are filled with the culture wars and I open them less and less often. Hn included.
