It's a Great Day for Human Rights in This Country

Vaccine mandate ruling should be just the beginning

Well today is a great day for human rights in this country.

The Queensland Supreme Court ruled that vaccine mandates imposed on police and healthcare workers were unlawful.

This ruling surely has implications for the rest of Australia. If people’s human rights were breached in Queensland, then they were breached in every other state as well.

Now many of us said at the time that it was legally and morally wrong that governments were coercing people into being jabbed on threat of losing their jobs.

And we were abused for it.

Turns out, we were right the entire time.

Of course, state premiers tried to pretend we were being given a “choice”. But ‘get jabbed or you won’t be able to feed your family’ wasn’t really a choice, was it.

There are two implications from today’s ruling …

First workers need to sue governments for compensation. And not just those workers who lost their jobs, but those who took the vaccine to keep their jobs and suffered because of it.

And second, Anthony Albanese’s toothless Covid Inquiry needs to be replaced immediately with a Royal Commission.

We need a Royal Commission into the pandemic over-reaction that has the power to compel politicians who imposed these unlawful mandates - and the supposed experts who advised them - to explain themselves.

And prosecutions should follow.
