Health advice never mandated jabs in the workplace - Senate Speech 9.03.23

Yesterday I spoke to support an amendment to the Workplace Health and Safety Bill that made it illegal to discriminate against someone on
their Covid-19 vaccination status.

Yet again the amendment failed to get up because Labor and the Greens voted against it.

What’s astonishing about this is that the former Prime Minister Scott Morrison himself said this week that Covid vaccine mandates were never recommended by the Federal Health Department outside of Health
settings.

So why are politicians, bureaucrats and companies still mandating them. It’s certainty not because of health reasons is it?
