A group of Queensland police officers and their families is raising money to fight the QPS vaccine mandate, saying it breaches 'workplace rights' and 'freedoms'.

Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll described the online comments as "disappointing".

"We have sought legal advice, and are currently working with a law practice on this matter," it says. The border checkpoint at Griffith St, Coolangatta, is one where police are required to be vaccinated to work. "The QPS is mandating vaccinations for the entire workforce in all QPS workplaces within the next five months to protect employees, their families and the community from COVID-19," he said.

Get rid of these three female cops, if they don't like injections or they want to go against the law then sack them. No place in the police service for these cops

Not getting Vaccinated, is akin to not wearing a seatbelt. Both are for your safety. To not get Vaccinated unless you're Immunocompromised shows a severe lack of Intelligence. And makes one wonder, what damage was done to you as a child. I'm a Survivor of Abuse&Fully Vaccinated

So we should also get to choose not to be arrested by unvacc’d Plod.

Not a good look QPS, just get the vaccine. Ex QPS.

Think about why people died so young in the 1700s! They died in their early 20s 30s 40s… they died because of no vaccinations and no modern medicines!

Wake up people. Vaccine passports cause segregation if your for that then your a blind sheep

Good way to weed out bad cops

Wonder if they had the required Hepatitis vaccinations?

Before mandatory seat belts.

It’s a free world, you’re allow to think what you want. You’re also allowed to legally challenge the mandatory vaccination and others are allowed to voice their criticism of that. But when they fail to secure exemption, they should accept the consequences for the good of all !!

Sack every single one. Today,

ACAB

WTF auspol

Maybe a new job in crowdfunding is better suited to these members?

Disgraceful they should be sacked

Good on them, taking a shot that improves your immunity for a short period of time should be a personal decision.

Say yes to vaccination, yes to growing dwarf palm oil tree plantations near remote communities and reduce racism. Police should be helping people and reducing poverty (crime).

Crowd funding as a civilian, ok ..but as a police officer is a concern. They have a police association to approach & lobby to do this otherwise it needs to be investigated internally. It raises questions of conduct; them upholding vaccine passport checks/public health orders.

It's simple. Public safety is the entire purpose of their job. They're not doing their job! Therefore the QLD public should not have to deal with these clowns.

Ah just stop with this mandatory vaccination BS. Responsible people will get the jab. For the rest: remove COVID treatment for unvaccinated from Medicare schedule or add a Lifetime-Covid-Loading to their tax!

Vaxx passports aren't new like the cultists would have you believe.

Knuckleheads. Get vaccinated, front line of the community. I wonder when they are bitten and/or spat on would they refuse a Hep test /shot .. mm selfish

auspol insiders

These people are in the wrong occupation, looking after others is a core principle of law enforcement. Yeah yeah blah, blah, I know many won't agree, but these people can just resign, do their job or leave. They have a choice. No need to sook up.

Idiots. Absolute idiots.

'The group is 30 strong'! Big deal, move on please!

aussiejackie Sack them 😡

I thought part of their job description would be to protect and serve the public, but they don't want to protect themselves or their families? It just doesn't make sense.

To these police office, find another job, your attatude is wrong for this type of work, but as I don't have your names think about why you think this is wrong.

And we wonder that we’re becoming a “nanny state”. Its simple really, if you don’t want to look after yourself (and by extension your community) thankfully there will be someone who will.

Is this a joke 🤦🏻‍♂️

Brilliant. Best of luck.

Are these the Hillsong police?

How are these people so obtuse?

Selfish

What part of serving and protecting is this?.

It's pretty obvious what's going to happen....once we get out of lockdown all the anti science people will get Covid and loads of them will get serious disease and die. Darwinism in action.

This👇👇from USA: “The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund says they are witnessing a continued increase in COVID deaths. The organization says more officers are lost to COVID in the line of duty than any other cause combined, including gunfire.”

No Vaccines No Work until. It's not all about them.

Why didn't they include a link to the fund in the article? Why are you all attacking each other and not for writing a shit article? Focus, people, focus!!

Don't want the vaccine then don't continue in the job.

There are covidiots in every industry.

Resign and stop wasting the public's money. If you won't protect your own health you can't protect the public.

I thought there had to be a test that prevented morons entering the police service, obviously not. Make the jab mandatory!!!

Disgusting! They are supposed to protect. How are they going to protect children that can’t be vaccinated,if they give them COVID. Another example of selfishness. 😔

Yet they are out and about dishing out fines for people not following Heath Orders ! If we on the “12 LGA’s of concern” have to get it to work so should them !!

Seems to me that Anti vaxers and pro vaxers all want the same destination, freedom. Freedom from death. Freedom to live life. Freedom of choice. We’re just arguing about the pathway to get there. Vax or no vax. Such a unique situation, that we’re grossly unprepared for.

Cowards. ANZAC's will wonder why they sacrificed so much. Police Officers are fit and healthy and should lead the way, not run scared.

SharpieDj Arrest the vaccine mandate

Ew

And here lies the conundrum

It's like this, when you go to work for a business, it's their rules and if you don't like it, then leave. Pretty simple really. Go find a job where they don't require you to be vaccinated. Problem solved.

The standards of some in the Qps have dropped. It’s not a career anyone just a job with some back stabbing there way up the promotion ladder.

They have no problem tasering people with unsterile needles, a medical procedure.....applying choke holds and breaking bones; shooting people dead; oh oops I thought that was a taser.

I don't understand the problem. They're objecting simply because someone says it's a job requirement and it's new. You don't see nurses bitching even though it's mandatory for them.

Very weird. I suppose it puts police conduct in the spotlight

Put them all together an office somewhere to do their 'paperwork'

This is so weird! It makes them seem like creepy antivaxxer victims who hog all the media limelight

And the world wonders why some places suffer massive outbreaks. Stoopid people. At least we in Vic only have corrupt coppers to deal with (per asst police commissioner).

Maybe they can be reposted to a separate unit to police anti-Covid demonstrations

For a second I thought they were going to crowd fund in support for Aboriginal health.

Citizen arrest... place their head into concrete. Ply the cuffs tight. Take them on a bush bash in the van.

Excellent! Now we know which ones to sack.

😳

Just resign.

No sympathy for these officers- I am all for them risking their own lives if they want, but they have no right to endanger the public they interact withJustQuit

They are precisely the individuals who don´t fit the Police culture of harm minimisation, they need to be made redundant due to cultural non fit. Anti vaxxers are not wanted in our Police force, take your ignoramus politic to the Neo Nazi suburban cells.

Great news!

I wonder how many people criticising these police are pro choice?

Pay them off and say bye bye.

Even questioning the dictate of police commissioner is now being considered as against the law! What kind of dictatorship is being promoted by media? Why isn't media supporting the right of people to question what they think is against law? Shame on compliant media.

Cops working against the common good. Sickening.

Good on you's for standing up got my support it should be the individuals choice and this is about way more than the Jab.

I didn’t even have to open this to know it was QLD police 😂

great, that's an infectious attitude. sue for you right to kill

Find a new job!

Just sack them.

Of course this story is on I knew before scrolling up to see who it was that it would be you. ABC's favorite type of story nowdays. What about helping Australians to minimise deaths, long covid disabilities and stress through health-related information instead ABCTV

Awesome! Good luck 👍

LOL... QLD ... of course... Standards are lax up there

Just get vaccinated you fucking babies.

If the normal public have to get vaccinated so should all front line workers or loose there job straight up I'm not allowed to mingle if I'm not so they shouldn't be able to work in the field unless they do

They probably have had all their childhood vaccinations … plus others…

They haven't got a legal leg to stand on. Let them leave, and find another job that doesn't involve physical contact with the public. SuperspreadersInBlue

Do they wear seat belts? Give others infringements for not wearing seat belts? And the thing with seat belts is only they are affected. With not taking vaccines they are potentially killing others.

Get another job

If u don’t wanna be a copper RESIGN! U may pass the bug onto a vulnerable person, so don’t be so selfish & resign, that is if you care about people and not just yourself find another industry to work in!

They are not ' pro or anti', but they are purely anti.

It’s up to the individual to vaccinate I don’t believe it should be forced upon anyone. Once we hit over 80% and vaccination appointments are readily available it’s time to fully open up. Those not vaccinated can take their chance. It’s up to them.

Police use guns 4 protection, tasers 4 protection, Hepatitis B vaccination 4 BBV protection. Education 4 protection, Occupation Health & Safety identifies risk. A Pandemic is a risk to safety. PPE reduces risk, as does vaccination. A risk 2 ones family & public also identified.

Front line workers in public contact who refuse to vaccinate, should not be front line workers in public contact. Sack 'em now. If other antivaxxers want to waste money on them, good. The whole lot need running out of the village. Selfish MeMeMe MyRights Covidiots

'the mandate ... infringes upon our rights to freedom and informed consent to a medical procedure' - how about the employer has a duty of care/governance responsibility to ensure health & safety of all staff. Maybe time to find another job!

Occupational Health and Safety. If your employer mandates it, your Union supports it, do it or find an occupation that is not frontline🤔 Simples 🤷‍♂️

Pretty sure in NSW at least, you have to be vaccinated for hep, tetanus and a range of other things already. Why the fuss?

Ffs 🙄

Nobody accuses police officer associations of being forward thinking powerhouses.

Great news, we need to stop these crazy laws, get vaxxed or not, open up. Thats it, it's that simple, giving up our rights to our bodies and green light red light scaners at shops, how ridiculous, we are all getting covid, you can't be these. I'm double vaxed by they way.

A sad day for all!

Same as the Australian Defence Force i guess…..certain conditions of service. If you don’t want the vaccine, find another job.

Just use the money to polish up your resume

Same officers will stop and and ask us to show our vaccine passport!!! Irony !!!

Goodness me. ‘Don’t come Monday’ would be my response.

So… they are not all serving officers… another political stunt aimed at those who work tirelessly to protect the community! If you can’t follow the rules of employment, go find another job! COVIDIOTS auspol

The standard to become a police officer needs to be raised for many reasons. This is one of them.

Get vaccinated or find another job..

Meanwhile, the cops are bashing people for failing to wear a mask.

You are never going to convince the hard core anti Vax nutters , but I am annoyed that they will get free treatment in hospital for their avoidable covid illness. In the USA they are getting $50000 medical bills.

Get out of the force if you can’t follow the law!

The Bio Security Act (C/wealth) appears to be fairly clear👇. The QLD govt has ‘Vaccination Preventable Disease (VPD) risk roles’ which mandate vaccination against several diseases.👇 Are police now included in this list/criteria?

Don’t have the jab but no sick leave entitlements and make it a condition of employment for all new members. people had to have a range of vaccinations, at their own expense, for a lowly office job in the public health system away from the public. Crowd funding? Greedy whiners.

Simple, remove firearms from those police.

Where do we donate?

All of them should be fired and fucking grow up

You can bet your bottom dollar that I will be kicking in ping CraigKellyMP + CliveFPalmer auspol Covid19 NoVaccineApartheid Sydney Brisbane Melbourne Perth Adelaide

Have they had their Polio, Smallpox, Tetanus, Measles shots? If not, why are they employed at all?

Some Queensland police on a mission to show the public that they simply don't care about their wellbeing.

Isn’t the police’s number 1 priority and job to PROTECT and serve the community I don’t feel very protected if they aren’t vaxxed! But whatever if they don’t want it then just stand them down and they can find another job.

They don't have to be cops, find a new job, maybe at the UAP

As part of my application a while back to join vicpol I had to provide proof of a mandatory Hepatitis vaccination. Sorry to be blunt but WHAT’S THE FUCKING DIFFERENCE?

Oh, cool. So if a cop harasses me for no reason and gives me covid that should count as 'knowingly spreading a deadly pathogen' and constitute domestic terrorism, right?

Whether or not you disagree or agree, this is the bottom line:

Tables have turned. Things are going to get interesting 🤨

Wonder how many have handed out fines for not wearing a seatbelt?

any bets that it's not even police officers doing it, but some scammers who are trying to get more rightwing cash from gullible trumpers?

GO TO TELEGRAM AND LISTEN TO THE SCIENTIFIC STUDIES AND TRUTH ON EXPERIMENTAL VACCINES POSITIVE PROOF THEY ARE A BIOLOGICAL WEAPON TO KILL PEOPLE ENMASS THIS IS GAIN OF FUNCTION IT MUTATES KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

Inflammatory clickbait. Again. ThisIsNotJournalism

If they do not want the vaccine, they can resign. That is their choice. They do not have a right to be a police officer.

Sack them.

Crazies at all levels. Sack the lot of 'em!

It's ok to not get vaccinated but its also ok for you police officers to not have a job for refusing

Lolol defund the police.

Bloody Sooks, in 1967 in the RAAF at 17 I didn’t have a choice was vaccinated with everything known to man, without any informed consent. Informed Consent is a valid concern but this is not the case with a Covid vaccination. Do your duty

Where's the link to the crowdfund?

Retired anti vaxxers getting involved is a bit rich.

Good to see the Police trying to actually serve and protect the community that pays for them

To all you posting shit on these people, they are 10 times more courageous than you! Not only do they risk their lives every day (for your safety) they are standing up for their individual rights.

Cops are fucked? Shocked.

How to identify the Trumpsters in the force....
