From Pauline Hansen: Today I Asked the Senate to Support my COVID-19 Vaccination Status

From Pauline Hansen:

Today I asked the Senate to support my COVID-19 Vaccination Status (Prevention of Discrimination) Bill 2022.

This bill would have protected Australians from discrimination based on COVID-19 vaccination status across Australia, including in employment, education, accommodation, and services.

It would have applied to the Commonwealth, States, Territories, and non-government entities, ensuring individuals are not unfairly treated due to their vaccination status.

It would have protected free movement within and between States and given parents greater power to protect their children from vaccination coercion.

This bill would have upheld Australians' rights and freedoms against government overreach and abuse.

Senators Lambie, Tyrell, Pocock, Van and Thorpe were all absent from the chamber, allowing Labor, the Greens and Senator Payman the numbers to defeat this vital legislation.
