"Two people were arrested this week for posts on social media allegedly "inciting" state residents to disobey government restrictions to attend protests."
@no1marauder saidVoicing disagreement with the lock-down is different from organizing a public protest that would violate the lock-down. Divegeester used the word "dystopian", implying oppression of free speech.
How is it "different"?
If the women in the OP were arrested merely for voicing opposition to the lock-down, that would be wrong.
The pregnancy is irrelevant, that's just media, it makes a headline out of a nothing story. Media is desperate for material because there's not much happening out there right now.
She's gone on camera apologising to the community for her "bimbo moment". She lives in a big country town, and like all of us she's sick of covid restrictions. So she got the bright idea of starting a Facebook group to moan about it, then things just ballooned from there (as they do on Facebook) and she ended up organising a public protest. Just a bit of stupidity on her part, which will result in a fine for organising a public protest in Melbourne under lockdown restructions, and she's accepted on camera that this is appropriate.
Storm in a teacup, nothing to see here.
A bunch of "concerned citizens" still did a protest, but it didn't do anything. Waving banners isn't the most efficient method of controlling a virus, because viruses can't read.
@kewpie saidClimate change protesters are planning the same as this lady and no action is being taken. BLM had a protest and where told that they will not be fined. told beforehand. We had lockdown protests yesterday and they were rounded up like cattle to then pull them out of the group to fine them. NOTHING to do with the damn virus and everything to do with FEAR.

We live in an age where the spreading of fear suits a political agenda. And do not assume that I am not concerned about the virus. But our lockdown laws are nothing but Authoritarian.
This is in Victoria Australia.
