Australia: Authorities Give Themselves Power to Remove Children From Parents to Ensure COVID Compliance

—Removal of children (1) Without derogating from section 25, an authorised officer may, for the purpose of ensuring compliance with any direction under that section, remove a child from any premises, place, vehicle or vessel to a place of residence of the child or to a hospital or quarantine facility, as the authorised officer thinks fit (and may, in doing so, use such force as is reasonably necessary). A child is defined as anyone under the age of 18.
