5. This looks like terrible lawmaking.

It's so broad an offence, which will inevitably lead to selective and partisan enforcement, that I expect early cases under it to be challenged in the highest courts if it passes.

Hell, the entire Cabinet could be hauled into clink repeatedly on its basis. They certainly severely annoy me in public every single day.

Indeed, the enactment of this law itself would appear to be an offence under its strictures!
