I agree this is all knee jerk at the moment. Any possible enforcement will be by means of the cumbersome Civil Law. The Police will therefore not get involved, as now, due to the legislation being withdrawn. Say a huge number of their customers become against them on this issue, have they costed that out?. I see this morning the airports are trying to get By Laws introduced to force masks. Oh Dear..that is s very long and costly procedure and can be challenged. Seemingly they already know that, as they say if that`s not possible then they will ask people to wear them. Now thats the way to get co operation, as with the airlines..Threats/mandatory blah blah is another quick way over the edge.
