Did you never learn that the definition of a government includes having a monopoly on violence?
Australia would essentially become a failed state with your suggestion, and I don't exactly think the government is just going to let that happen.

#5Wow. It’s like the twilight zone over there. I’m quite concerned at the lengths governments are going to take away our rights. All in the name of “the good of others”.

If governments all had a permanent monopoly on violence we would all be forever living under the eternal dynasty of God-Emperor Hammurabi CCCXXIVI in the all-kingdom stretching from the Euphrates to all the sun has ever touched.
Sometimes you have to break the rules to make long-term positive changes.

Armed rebellion is not always needed to make changes. However just letting the state do what it wants without push back certainly is not going to change things.

Australia is already a failed state. That happened the second they decided to imprison their populace and started talking about the "New world order." The state has failed its people, and the only thing left is for it to crumble.

Remarkably slow process given that we are dealing with a pandemic.
Worth pointing out that "Australian gov to use" should read "South Australian gov to use" (South Australia being a state of Australia).
EDIT: As this thread is attracting attention from people who have views different from my own I'd just like to make it clear that I'm in favour of controlling the actions of people who choose to endanger public health and nothing I said above is meant to suggest otherwise.
