Some Good News on the Legal Front Re Covid Mandates By Ian Wilson LL. B

Great patriot and Covid mandate fighter, George Christensen has done an excellent summary of some recent Australian decisions indicating victory of battlers against the system, typically involving workers who were unvaxxed getting sacked, and then being seen by commissions, such as the Fair Work Commission, as being wrongly sacked. While large scale legal attacks on the entire mandate framework did not succeed, still, much like toxic torts and the legal cases against cigarettes in the early days, lawyers will need to chip away at things. I do not see any sort of global Nuremberg 2.0 in the near-term, but, it is not impossible down the track. Just keep on, keeping on, relentless and regardless!

“In Australia, for instance, the Fair Work Commission, decided in favor of five Sydney train drivers who were wrongly stood down by their employers for being ‘unvaccinated’.

The commission, which is Australia’s industrial relation umpire, ordered Sydney Trains to backpay their workers’ forfeited wages and restore any leave entitlements used while being stood down.

Particularly, the Fair Work Commission said that the ‘vaccine’ mandate in place could not be considered “reasonable/or lawful or proportionate as a workplace health and safety response to the risk presented by COVID 19.”

This sets a precedent for successful legal action by other workers wrongly penalised by big corporations for failing to comply with the workplace COVID-19 policies that were neither reasonable, lawful or proportionate.  

In another high-profile case, a teacher in New South Wales, sacked for not following the State’s ‘vaccination’ rules has been awarded ongoing workers’ compensation and backpay.

This has encouraged other teachers wrongly sacked by the State’s education department to also come forward with their case against government injustice.

Sydney-based human rights lawyer Peter Fam summed the Australia situation up succinctly, stating:

I have been warning employers for years now not to fall into the trap of arguing that their Work Health and Safety duty to reduce risk as far as reasonably practicable involves things that they have no knowledge or expertise in, like virology. Many have only caught onto the folly of this approach recently. Some are still digging.

In neighbouring New Zealand, the wave of ‘vaccine’ mandate reversals began emerging much earlier.

As early as February, the courts began challenging the government’s mandates for Police and Defence Force employees, with the High Court upholding it as a breach of the country’s bill of rights.

In the United States, the Supreme Court blocked a government organisation (OSHA) from abusing its power to attempt and implement a nationwide ‘vaccination’ mandate.

This decision holds weight not only in the legal discourse of the USA but also in neighbouring Canada, where historically, courts have largely mirrored precedents set by the US Supreme Court.

Though too early to say, developments like these do point to a changing discourse.

It also points to something that should inspire hope and that is that many have chosen not to sit idly by as the West descends into globalist totalitarianism.

Against tyranny, always resist.”

Good advice, too.
