"Breaching the Chief Health Officer's orders"? I don't know about y'all, but I never voted for any "Chief Health Officer", nor did I ever agree to let one order me around, so "Chief Health Officers" under any guise, by any name, can flat out kiss my ass at high speed. These are the areas where totalitarianism is creeping in, via bureaucracies and unelected folk who suddenly think they have the magical power to make laws and give orders. They don't. No one voted them in to do so, and they can all kiss my rosy red ass.
Same thing is going on in the US - in the past couple months, unelected bureaucrats have suddenly seized powers that are not theirs to seize. No one among the governed told them they could seize those powers. For instance, FDA has suddenly decided they can tell landowners when they can and cannot collect rent. That has not one single goddamned thing to do with food safety, so they are far beyond their remit, and no one seems to be calling them out about it.
OSHA - Occupational Health and Safety - suddenly thinks they have the power to tell us what we do and do not have to get injected into our bodies, and somehow believe they have the power to micromanage individual health decisions that are between a patient and a doctor. They have no such power, and better stick to making sure employers provide enough hard hats for a job.
Since BidenHarris can't legally pass such laws in the US, he's enlisting the bureaucracy to make illegal laws. Yes, illegal laws. Regulations that carry the force of law directly contravene the Constitution, because that document gives SOLE power to make law to the legislative branch of government, which is to say Congress. In using bureaucracies to make pseudo-law, BidenHarris is bypassing Congress, making it null and void, and if that is not checked, everything will be run by the Executive, as the Executive oversees and gives orders to the bureaucracy. Congress will be obsolete, as will the judiciary if BidenHarris has his way and packs the courts with political appointees to outweigh the balance that the electorate has imposed.
EVERYTHING will be ruled and enforced by the Executive. They call that a "kingdom" or "monarchy", which is run by "royalty" and "nobility", and we fought a whole damned war once already to get out from under that sort of empire.
No thanks. More power to the Aussies, and it would be nice if the US electorate developed the testicular fortitude to put their government in check as well. If WE don't do it, no one will, and it will remain undone and continue to get worse so long as it remains unchallenged.
Remind those bastards who put them in office to begin with and where their "power" ultimately originates from, and remind the bureaucrats that they haven't got near the power that they wish they had. Friggin' tin-pot dictators!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
