Yes, we're just like North Korea. Only last week I witnessed my neighbours being strapped to loaded canons and blasted to Kingdom Come for putting out their bins on the wrong day.

You'd need to look back to the government that introduced the bill, back in the day when Chris Pincher and Lee Anderson were in it.
