Rejected petition Amend the recent Coronavirus bill that takes away our rights.

Recently, a few days ago the government rushed a bill through parliament to aid police & military powers to take someone into custody if they believe that they have the virus. This is a bit extreme and it actually expires in 2 years!-meaning the government will be able to use these powers still then

More details

I want the government to make the bill for 6 months or less only!
I also want them to re-evaluate the bill in full.
I feel they are doing this so they can have more power over us, even when the virus situation has blown over!
A lot of events in history were like this, an economy collapse or virus is going on and then behind the scenes they are taking advantage of the situation, to push bills through parliament without the people knowing.
