Bravo Fren! Well done! I was bailed up at a Dan Murphy's (NSW) on Christmas eve by a huge security guard. I'd walked straight past the QR sheep checking in. He told me to check in, I said no and kept walking. He said I had to and I also have to wear a mask. I said no and no and kept walking. He rushed into the store to have a go, at which point I assertively let him know (in front of dozens of customers and staff) that he has zero authority over me nor anybody else. I cited the 2015 Federal Biosecurity Act sections 60 and 61and then proceeded to cite the 1988 Federal Privacy Act section 94H. I told him under that privacy act he and the business he's representing are liable for up to $64000 in fines and jail up to 5 years for violating the act. I then pointed at his chest and said it also gives me the right to sue him personally. He had nothing in response (surprise surprise). I proceeded to purchase some Christmas cheer. When I exited I walked straight past the bloke and wished him a Merry Christmas. He was fuming, I was grinning like Trump visiting the Pope lol. Lesson: Know your rights folks, and NEVER back down in the face of tyranny.

Power back to the people my Fren!
The usual expression is "the powers that be", i.e, the powers that obtain.
