If thats the case she has no excuse.

Sis. Lucy, I understand, the law has changed in Australia and now wearing the face mask is compulsory. The Australian law also states that if anyone has a lawful reason for not wearing a mask will be ok to do so. The lady in the video who insisted her right may have a lawful reason for not doing so. Like in the UK. It is compulsory to wear the mask when you are out in public transport or in shops but if you have an asthma for instance, you are absolutely fine not to wear the face mask even in the private shops and no one has right [by law] to force you to wear the mask.

Br. Shawn, Is this the case in Australia as well? Maybe in Australia is different law, I don't know. Hypothetically speaking, I wonder how would she reply to the staff if the staff members or the shop manager have explained to her what you just said here? Would she leave the shop?

You are right. There is another side as well though, it sets the precedent for the people. Once police arrests one shopper, there will be less mask wearing refusal crimes

Br. Shawn, Thanks for your comment. I think most of the women like spending some time in shopping, so if the police takes longer than 5 min to arrive at the location than police is too slow For instance, in the UK police can get to location in 5 min max, even when the issue is within the shopping centres.

Br. Chuks, Every country has different laws and different pandemic situation. Apparently, in Australia law does not require of everyone to wear the face masks. Therefore one may feel he is forced when someone demands for mask. Of course we (I mean Witnesses) do use common sense and display wise attitude when we wear the mask but if someone chooses not to, then we [ or a shop owner] can not demand or "force" them to do what we think or believe is right in regards of wearing a mask.

Dear Jennifer, I do not argue and I do not invite you for argue. You have expressed your thoughts, I did the same. As I pointed out, IF the shop is private and someone did something unlawful, there is a police and they could call for help. In fact, they could not do anything because the lady was within her rights as she explained. P.S. Love the video.

Dear Jennifer, If the shop had right to stop the lady entering in their private property, they could call police. In fact the lady explained to the staff members they they had NO right to even question her about the face mask. There is a law and everyone is expected to uphold the law, no matter they have a private shop or not. Law is law and rules are rules for everyone.

Dear Jennifer, No, nor the store staff or anyone has right to do anything that breaches someone's right. Our right ends where someone's right starts The store staff can only do whatever they want but only to the point where someone's right comes to a place. The store staff can't demand from others what the law allows others to do. That is whole point of the lady was saying in her video.

They could easily call police if someone has trespassed. Apparently the lady did not trespassed. Therefore the store staff had no right to demand from her to wear the mask. They could simply be nice and ask kindly and it would still be up to a lady whether she would desire to wear the face mask or not. There is a law in each country and people are required to uphold the law. Simple.

Thats a different subject and yes would be nice but not everyone knows God or his requirements. As a citizen of Australia she pointed out on the law and I think the store staff should have right attitude to her choice. Don't you think so?

If the law of the Australia allows her to choose whether to wear the face mask or not, then its her choice is't it?
