You need to put more effort into working it out.
When a Government passes a law, the new law can’t breach existing laws, otherwise it gets struck down by the courts.
Sometimes members of the opposition write letters to the Government explaining they should halt process under new laws where there are clear indications of conflict with existing laws.
A wise Government listens to such advice.
The idiots that just got handed their backsides failed to do so.
It’s not the fault of those who noticed and pointed out the problems.
