An pregnant Australian woman as been arrested for a post she made on facebook asking people to attend an event against wearing masks. She said she wasnt aware she did anything wrong. Offered to delete the post. Told the officiers she was due to attend an ultrasound. Yet the officers didn't care, arrested her anyway and took her away.

Trying to organise an illegal freedom day protest. Clearly a "just flu bro" nutter.

There is nothing wrong with that facebook post.

It's telling people social distance AND to wear a mask unless they have a medical reason not to.

I wouldn't say shes a "just flu bro" person or she wouldnt have mentioned social distancing and wearing a mask.

The protest is clearly about the draconian attitude of the Australian authorities.

There is something wrong with it when they are under a "stage four" lockdown. The post reads like a just flu bro/mah freedums/covid denier.
 
Im all for arresting dumb asses on social media especially anti-vaxxers..but struggling to find a valid reason for this one.
Also the Australian accent sucks.

Stage 4 lockdown prohibits you from leaving your house except for very limited circumstance. Encouraging others to break the law is reason enough I'd say. Being pregnant doesn't mean you're suddenly above the law.

They were likely doing it to set an example, it'd end up with a warning in court or some such.
