The Australian Labor Party and Greens are big on anti-discrimination, so long as it is within a woke Leftist paradigm. Thus, it was no surprise to see One Nation's COVID-19 Vaccination Status (Prevention of Discrimination) Bill 2022, get knocked over by the combined might of woke, and loyalty to the cult of the mandates. The Bill simply aimed to prevent discrimination that was seen during the Covid madness, which was so over the top that American commentators were suggesting that Australia needed to be invaded so that liberty could be re-established!
While the government said that the vaccine was not compulsory, being vaxxed was required for many professions, and still is, which is compulsion enough. During the Covid freak out, being vaxxed was a condition for participation in social life, and the ineffective lockdowns were used to soften up the population to accept the vax of the government's masters, Big Pharma. In short, it was coercion of the nastiest type. Yet during the Senate debates we had those speaking against the Bill maintaining that the vax was voluntary and repeating the same "safe and effective" mantra, just like it was back in 2021. Vax ideology, pure and simple.
