Anti-maskers have been slammed for trying to make legal arguments during confrontations with businesses and police.

As Melbourne anti-maskers continue filming themselves arguing against Victoria's coronavirus rules, striking similarities have emerged in the claims they make.

But in one set of false online"guidelines" seen by SBS News, anti-maskers claim"mandatory masks is not a law". Associate Professor Luke Beck from the Faculty of Law at Monash University said this was one of many"pseudo-legal arguments" that is just plain wrong. "The legislation goes on to say that when a person contravenes the directions, that person is liable to a fine and so that's what's happening here."Associate Professor Jonathan Liberman from the University of Melbourne Law School said the new rules were"perfectly lawful".

Assertion with ignorance.

No arguments, just lock them up for the duration.

Stop bloody putting up with them. Just arrest them.

Shoot it dead

Anti maskers most certainly have human rights. The right to wear a mask for the rights of all human life or the right to stay the £¥€$ at home!!

It's not about legality, it's about the truth.

The Conscious Truth Network on Facebook needs to be held accountable. They’ve been proudly filing and posting their ‘triumphs’ like it’s a game. Also openly ‘teaching people how to entrap police’. Run by James Bartolo and all recent incidents connected to the same group.

The levels of stupidity that people such as these “anti-maskers” can lower themselves to will never cease to astound me. I’m hoping Darwinism will kick in for these morons.

These people also fail to note that just a few members plus the Queen or her rep can do whatever the fuck they like in terms of law

Obnoxious Ignorance at large

If masks work, then there is zero need for lockdown. Lift the lockdown & let’s get back to work.

Can the anti maskers please relocate to the US? We’ll all chip in for their airfare. 👍🏼

She's a actor!!

It would be humorous if it wasn't so dangerous. We like to laugh at stupid, don't we?

Valve masks do not protect other people as far as I know.

Police aren't there to hear your bullshit, nor let you go if you make a good enough case or kick & scream hard enough. BlackLivesMatter people take note.

Well so far the cops aren’t doing anything so how are you going to stop them doing it?

They are so stupid

Lock them all up together and let them all share the same air.

It's great there are people with personal guts to get out there & challenge ludicrous mandatory restriction Not all masks are manufactured equal but they don't care which you wear as long as you comply Given that fact, is it really about public health then? You join the dots! 🤔

She didn't make a legal argument. She shouted at staff doing their job and wrongfully suggested that her rights as a woman were being infringed. I hope she was to the very least fined. These white privileged ding dongs need to redirect their anger to causes that actually matter.

Okay - and you’re just helping them get the bs attention that they wanted

Another one trying to boast on social media how to break the law

Anti-maskers’ script revealedThe dangerous scripts anti-maskers are using when they’re confronted by police are being shared online to encourage others to use them. this is no different to the scripts illegals and BLM people share for when they get approached by police Someone really needs to take these anti-maskers through a ward of Covid paitents, so they can see for themselves that it is real. You really need to stop giving these anti-masker oxygen thief's air time, you are only adding fuel to their fire. Proceed at your own peril, mere fact she was the driver of a motor vehicle gives Police the right to stop anyone, request details and so forth. Refusal can be a fine or continued refusal, arrest for the purpose of identifying you.

Anti-masker 'putting retail workers at risk' | Sky News AustraliaSDA National Secretary Gerard Dwyer has responded to footage which shows a woman threatening legal action against a Bunning’s Warehouse staff worker who told the woman masks were mandatory for store entry.\n\nMr Dwyer told Sky News the woman's behaviour was “completely irresponsible and downright wrong, that lady was actually putting at risk those retail workers and everyone else in that store'. \n\n“Face masks aren’t about some political statement, they’re actually a health measure in our fight as a community against the pandemic,' he said. \n\n“The fact is she went into a place that has the right to put in place conditions of entry, reasonable conditions of entry in line with Victorian law at present, and in line with the advice of medical authorities, she had no justification for not wearing her mask.”\n\nImage: AP 🤔 If they're not going to wear a mask I'm not wearing pants !! nopants Not one single person has been able to provide cold hard evidence to show that masks are 100% effective in stopping the spread of the virus. Until then, we should not be forced to wear masks at all. Be quiet. The corrupt government let this dirty chinese virus in here and their incompetence will ensure that it stays and does as much damage as possible. Australian blood is on their hands. So before you badger scared people who don't know what to believe remember.... We know.
