Opinion: Australians are facing an organised campaign by anti-vax and far-right activists to undermine confidence in a public health response which continues to save lives every day | sallymcmanus

Australians are facing an organised campaign by anti-vax and far-right activists to undermine confidence in life-saving medicines and a public health response which continues to save lives every day.that unions were feeling the impact of organised, extremist, anti-vax and far-right campaigns. We were witnessing fringe interests attempting to infiltrate unions – not to help workers in any way – but for their own selfish political gains.

The attack on the union orchestrated by the far right should be a warning to all political leaders about the challenges we face in rebuilding our nation after this pandemic. An upper house member of the Victorian Parliament attended Monday’s protest and gave vocal support to the extremists, a federal Senator tweeted his approval of the violence.Some mainstream media voices have whipped up opposition to the health officials trying to manage the virus, and the people who regulate the safety of our medicines are receiving death threats.

“We are all in this together” was a great political slogan in 2020, but as the pandemic has dragged on, theThe truth is that the hardships and trauma of this pandemic are not being borne equally. In fact, the pandemic has revealed the deep inequality built into our economy. We will continue to do our part to encourage vaccinations and backing the decisions of public health officials. We will continue to fight for safe workplaces, for better jobs, for more financial support for those hit hardest by the pandemic.

sallymcmanus Mob mentality....nothing but a bunch of thugs..

sallymcmanus Underpinned by the Proud boys and other US lunatic groups including Fox

sallymcmanus So they don’t get work. They better not think they can join the do,e queue

sallymcmanus Who is organising it?

sallymcmanus 'Everyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi' does not instill my confidence in Australian union leadership. sallymcmanus needs to resign immediately. All other union leaders that impose govt mandates should do likewise. Listen to your members.

sallymcmanus And entitled tradies - love this white washing

winimwil sallymcmanus What a bloody mess nightmare Morrison's incompetence has created...deaths, long covid, pain, suffering, media bias , restrictions,economic collapse, hate, branding of regular protesters as violent etc etc.Remote strictly run quarantine was NOT done. Of course Aussies are furious.

sallymcmanus It is very hard to accept that ANYONE is opposed to vaccination. These rioters are paid to be obstructive and should be jailed.(They would have to get vaccinated there).

sallymcmanus I would like to see Sally McManus one day become Prime Minister. She conveys passion, emphathy and thoughtfulness with words...

sallymcmanus Absolute lies, trying to toe the company line. Pathetic journalism.

sallymcmanus Even though it is being denied this is union driven. The rank & file are easily lead.

sallymcmanus We've only been saying it for months now...

sallymcmanus Talk about a load of Dan loving bullshit from a biased media that has felt no impact from covid

sallymcmanus this what Trump has done to the uneducated/easilyFooled people of the world who dont believe in science but are happy to enjoy the all the benefits that science give them in their daily lives

sallymcmanus Where is the evidence of “far right” infiltration of these protest by Union thugs

sallymcmanus How can you post this rubbish? No resemblance to the truth whatsoever

sallymcmanus And you say that with a straight face after banning early treatment therapies. It’s no wonder the Australian people have lost confidence in the entire system.

sallymcmanus Covid has flushed out the morons, definitely.

sallymcmanus Why don't all you anti-vaxxers give money to the woman that died from covid and never wore a mask, didn't listen to any health orders and then went to 'hospital' when she was sick. She sold out on all of you anti-vaxxers by going to seek medical help. Give all your money to her

sallymcmanus

sallymcmanus Control the narrative, they are Australians to protect their Freetown and demand constitutional right of informed consent. They are not anti vax and far right activists. Why public health response have to be in violate people’s freedom

sallymcmanus RIP Labor.

sallymcmanus The phantom far right. Anyone who disagrees with anything is now far right. Even Kim Jong-Un is right wing now

sallymcmanus We need to respect the choice of these people to die any way they choose. Everyone else should not be punished while we wait for them to grow up. Open the country.

sallymcmanus Perhaps the loss of their own lives from COVID will have an impact

sallymcmanus States. America has them, look! Aussie has them, look! States are BS. Your country is ONE country, ONE people. Eggs.

sallymcmanus Nope

sallymcmanus Unionists = far left not right. This weeks rioters are all unionists. Wherever you go in Australia, it’s the Labor electorates that have the lowest vaccination rates, not the LNP ones. Heck, even Craig Kelly’s electoral is over 90% vaccinated.

sallymcmanus And where is the PM and what is he doing to stem this tide rather than encourage it!? The answer is NOTHING!! Not a single f-ing thing - he’s in the US getting AU ready for another War! leighsales theprojecttv Barnaby_Joyce

sallymcmanus BS Sally & you know it. Stop drinking the kool-aid the govt keeps spewing out & you might realise it. 'Anti-vax' is the catch-cry of those who haven't (or won't) do their own research. NoVaccinePassports NoVaccineMandates NoMedicalApartheid

sallymcmanus Bullshit Sally. We don’t believe you. Show us your evidence. People are sick to death of lockdowns, curfews, mandatory vaxx, playgrounds closed and all the other endless nonsense.

sallymcmanus Are they all from the ethnic European community of non-indigenous Australians, aka the White community?

sallymcmanus Or, Australians are being mislead by mainstream media about the actual risks

sallymcmanus Clive Palmer and Craig Kelly leading the charge.

sallymcmanus What has right wing got to do with anti-vaxxers ? The anti vax comments that I read are mostly from woke lefties .

sallymcmanus Despicable - unhinged & desperate. People who refuse an invasive, irreversible, experimental gene therapy treatment are neither anti-vax nor far right. It was the Nazis who forced people into medical procedures against their will. Protesters are just pro-choice.

sallymcmanus No not really. They just want choice.

sallymcmanus Sally pushing the narrative it was far right. Where’s her proof? Just words…

sallymcmanus Spinning the wheels but it ain’t going anywhere Sally. We all know who the protesters are, what really makes me wonder is how you hope to keep them as members to man voting booths when you call them right wing extremists. It suits you now, it won’t suit you next election.

sallymcmanus Another article full of lies by Sally

sallymcmanus Maybe the Police should actually turn up dressed for the occasion? It’s embarrassing watching them chase a bunch of violent thugs around our capital. Time for a French CRS approach.

sallymcmanus Wow Australians lost their f mind

Plea for donations after anti-vax mum’s deathThousands of dollars have been raised to cover the funeral expenses of a staunch anti-vaxxer and mum of four who succumbed to Covid-19 last week. How shameless of you, News Corp. Inciting anti-vaxx sentiments, and then dining out on its tragedies. How can anyone with a microgram of human decency work for the Murdochs? This is so sad. The world has become so divided. No empathy. We need more kindness. I really feel for anyone working in hospitals currently. Must be heart breaking and tough

‘We are living in extraordinary times’: NBL team cuts player due to anti-vax stanceTai Webster has been released from his New Zealand Breakers contract by mutual consent because of his unwillingness to be vaccinated in the first such example in Australian sport. VinceRugari Antivaxxer cult devotee. Anyone willing to throw away everything because of things they read on Facebook is in a cult. VinceRugari How unfortunate for this athlete to have such a mis-informed view on vaccinations that it has jeopardised his own career. He must not understand that it is for the safety of his teammates and continuity of competition for his club. Many players would kill for his opportunity. 🤦‍♂️ VinceRugari Good on you love. Monkey brain training is rampant currently! 🤣🙈🙉🙊
