It’s a bit different. The State Governments are enacting health measures that only have any authority under temporary declared state of emergency, and immediately cease as soon as that expires (they have had to be extended a bit).
This proposal is the Federal Government, which has been passing increasingly draconian, increasingly authoritarian mass surveillance, “national security” laws and ostensibly “eSafety” laws over decades now. They have passed the worst in the last four or five years, but really it’s been going back to 9/11, even though we never had any “real” terror attacks on our shores… These federal laws stick.

Worldwide, I'm seeing a heck of a lot of extension and precious little expiry so far...
