    Wow - when you have to ask for good reviews. Anyways, seems the post was removed.

    I don't care about what they think. I just wish I could find some Star Trek fabric - so I could make my own. Been looking on etsy, but most of them are from overseas.

    From G & B Lawyers Facebook page

    “Dear supporters and detractors,
    At the request of the NSW Law Society, I, Nathan Buckley, Partner of G&B Lawyers have removed the post regarding the Victorian Government's decision to mandate the wearing of a face mask which is yet to commence.
    I take full responsibility and accountability for the post that has made media attention worldwide.
    It was not the provision of legal advice.
    It was the expression of my own personal political beliefs. As a citizen of Australia I have an implied freedom of political communication which is protected by the Constitution.
    My position remains that any law that attempts to mandate the wearing of a face mask in Australia is unlawful and in breach of the Constitution. This is my own political belief. It is not an expression of law or the provision of legal advice from G&B Lawyers.
    Thank you for understanding.
    Regards,
    Nathan Buckley”

    They are idiots. I think they all belong to that group of people who believe it's a hoax and 5G ... and such. They just want attention. Conspiracy theories they believe in are just full of crap. I wish they had to work in a hospital to see what is happening.

    Oh don't I know it........ I started a discussion in Australian politics on Reddit and it seems they all came out of the woodwork. One guy says the hospitals are not actually overwhelmed anywhere but mostly empty and that's all a lie... Mandatory Masks in Victoria is a pro China move by the government. Go figure.

    People feel important because they have secret knowledge. The egooists among them want attention for feeling important.

    They should all be fined and fined

    I think the ones not wearing masks are being fined in Victoria... But some people have creative excuses, and I wish the media wasn't giving them free airttime.
