The insanity and lack of self awareness is truly amazing. This man is so fucking stupid that he can't see how ludicrous this looks and what an obviously idiotic idea it is as well as offensive. Yet this man thinks he should be making decisions for you , your family, your children under penalty of imprisonment if you don't do what his government says.
Ha, that's my king!
In a state of emergency, even if it's a really long emergency which never ends, anything he says is a new law.

Any
Thing

Say
What a wonderful philosophy!
Members of Parliament are exempt from vaccine mandates. Arguing against vaccine mandates is professional suicide for a politician so no one dares, which means the legislative apparatus is broken. They decided everyone has to take them but they exempted themselves. None of them have missed a paycheck in two years while ordering business closures and mandating other people get fired for not taking the shots, and fired if you don't keep taking them.
I can't hit this strongly enough. They make rules which you have to follow but they don't have to follow.

It is illegal for me to do drywall all alone on a building site because I'm unvaccinated, so I've lost contracts with builders. Even if they lift the mandates someday those contracts are gone. Most of the workforce is under mandate, including a booster required every 3 months. No total number or finish line. Every 3 months or you're fired.
It is a crime to not scan or sign in everywhere you go. Supermarket, gas station, hardware store, deli, etc. Everywhere.
I cannot enter a restaurant, cafe, liquor store, etc

After soldiers took citizens to quarantine camp in the Northern Territory (not sick but had possibly been in contact with someone sick) I placed a call to the Australian Human Rights Commission to find out if they were investigating it. Because soldiers took citizens to a camp. The guy was uninterested and even a little offended. Repeatedly said it wasn't something they deal with because it happened in a state and they only deal with federal issues. (Every square inch of land in the country is in a state. And the army is a federal force.

) Their website helped me understand that they exist to come after people who use racial or sexual slurs. They're the hurt feelings police. There is no Human Rights Commission. There are no countervailing forces whatsoever curtailing the actions of government here.
That dude would like to put me in an internment camp without access to legal process, for sure. I'm the only working age person I know who hasn't either taken the shots or gotten counterfeit proof.
Everyone in government has gone along. Every citizen has gone along. Major red flag shit. Exempted from mandates they create. Boosters of dubious efficacy and safety forever. The army putting people in camps without legal process. This is not ok. And everyone continues to go along. It's really something to see.
The King has said that his restrictions will remain in place for years. He didn't specify how many.
He's also said that life will be very uncomfortable for the unvaccinated. Lol, go do drywall for 25 years, Mark. Persevering through discomfort is just another day at the office.
