Musician Ziggy Alberts is facing heavy backlash after slamming the new mask rule and seemingly comparing it to Nazism.
POPULAR Sunshine Coast singer Ziggy Alberts has likened the mandatory wearing of face masks to living under the Nazi occupation of Europe, yesterday spruiking his controversial views on social media.
The performer took to his Instagram account last night where he shared his strong anti-mask sentiments with his 205,000 followers, and drew shocking comparisons to the life-saving move introduced by the Victorian Goernment to atrocities committed by dictators like Adolf Hitler under Nazi rule.
“I just want to say my heart is with you Victoria,” Alberts wrote.
“I’m in complete opposition of the government’s decision to introduce mandated face masks in Melbourne when all it does is strips Australians of their basic rights in what is supposed to be a free society.”
Speaking on the new laws introduced by Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews which require all Melbourne residents to now wear a mask, Alberts said “all (the laws) do is strip Australians of their basic rights.”
“My great grandfather hid a Jewish family and an American pilot during Nazi rule in Holland and was killed for doing so. For trying to keep innocent people safe. There is no way I’m going to support, endorse or encourage mandatory face masks or lock downs in a free country.”
