I think that it was absolutely unjustified. The only reason emergency powers were invoked was because business was affected by the bridge closure. The government didn't see it fit to invoke emergency power during the pandemic to help people, but as soon as a bridge gets blocked that's real shit. This also sets the precedent for is using emergency powers to break up labour strikes when they start affecting business.
