Dear Mr Davis
Submission – Public Health Amendment Bill 2021 (No 2)
Our constituents are shouting their concern and need for the immediate restoration of basic human rights and freedoms and lifestyle. Yet this Bill proposes to entrench the removal of these rights from everyday Australians and therefore it must be opposed.
Constituents want an end to the mismanagement that has caused segregation, discrimination and unwarranted damaging control under vaccine mandates. They want an end to the contradictions, hypocrisies and confusion engulfing politicians and health advisers.
Constituents see that restoring freedom, choice and personal responsibility is the way to make 2022 the year people get on with their lives. I agree.
Specifically, we refer you to and oppose the following provisions:
- Section 118Z – represents a breach of what Australian’s regard as our rights and freedom of choice for a once in a century event.
- Threatening a worker’s job is a manifestly excessive response to the management of COVID-19, yet this Bill would enable job losses threatening jobs and families.
- Legislating for what should be an emergency response for a short time is inappropriate.
- Review processes must be free and quick and must be independent of the ACT government.
- Reversal of the onus of proof is wholly inappropriate and must be removed.
- Australians who have informed themselves and elected not to be vaccinated should not be punished. Yet it is foreseeable that this Bill would enable this undemocratic outcome.
- The Australian Government has elected not to mandate vaccination and therefore the ACT should likewise abstain.
The Greens and Labor have again shown that Australians cannot trust them by proposing such an undemocratic law which fundamentally conflicts with our basic human rights, freedoms and lifestyle.
Australians now want the return of our Australian way of life free of coercive and debilitating lockdowns and vaccine mandates. People want honesty and accountability. I ask you and the Standing Committee on Health and Community Wellbeing to oppose and reject this Bill.
Yours Sincerely
Malcolm Roberts
Senator for Queensland
