"eating away at our rights?"

What rights have we lost?  If you mean that we need to wear masks in public if close to others that's a matter of safety - our own & that of others, rather than a right deliberately removed since those who have good reasons not to, are still free to not wear masks.

The pandemic management is the one thing I have no problem with. I'm getting sick of people not taking the current requirements seriously.

It's all the other law changes that keep sliding through that make us over-regulated in so many areas.

Certainly easier for them to pass legislation given they had an overwhelming win at the last election.  Not really sure there is anything sneaky going on though, all legislation goes through the same process to make it into law ...
