Tanya Davies criticises the Prime Minister and Premier over COVID vaccine mandates at a protest in front of NSW Parliament.

A Liberal backbencher has broken ranks and criticised the Prime Minister and Premier over COVID vaccine mandates at a protest in front of NSW Parliament.Tanya Davies addressed hundreds of people at the rally which closed Macquarie Street for over an hourThe crowd chanted "sack them all" as Ms Davies finished her speech

During the Delta lockdown last year, Ms Davies spoke out against the vaccine mandate that at the time was being imposed on the workers in the construction industry by the state government.Ms Davies told the crowd, she stopped her public criticism when Dominic Perrottet became Premier last October. But now Ms Davies said despite COVID restrictions being eased "as far as I'm concerned those positive moves are not fast enough for our community".Afterwards, she insisted she was entitled to her opinion and isn't planning on resigning from the Liberal Party.

Tissue anyone?

Not surprising. They will need the votes from all the self appointed scientists to get even close this time around. VoteGreen savetheplanet

Omg she's talking to the people 😂 bad politician bad 😂😂

Says a lot Will she be reprimanded? No Will she be promoted? Yes Covid is a dangerous virus. You don’t want it if you can avoid it. Look after yourself people. Even though the govt is now making it an abnormality to do so.

How do “journalists” get from anti mandates to anti vax?

FauChip explains this LOL

'I thought awesome now we are going to have a leader in this state who actually believes in the things I believe in,' Says it all. If you don't believe what I do then you're wrong.

Anything for a vote

Why should the unvaxxed be forced to be vaxxed with your vaxx that has not worked on you

About time... I wish the media would stop calling people who haven't agreed to the MRNA gene therapy as 'anti-vax'ers. We are just not convinced that we have been given all the available information & quite clearly neither has the govt. Its about time some gutsy MPs spoke up.

Stop the weaponization of the term 'anti vax'. These people want mandates removed. That is all

your in the wrong party tanya,you should be with palmer and kelly more fitting for you

Anti vax or anti mandates or pro choice?

I believe they're anti-mandates protestors. Not anti vax protestors. Please try to be accurate when you do your journalisming.

Each individual is convinced by varying standards of evidence. I guess the so called 'anti-vaxxers' would rather see it for themselves, rather than hear the comforting words of a politician.

You're not Anti-vax if you're not willing to trial a vaccine after participants were followed for a minimum of 8 weeks. Furthermore, when the Post-authorisation Adverse Event Report was released; it was by way of court order. 1223 deaths, over 1300 ADE, 12 weeks post vaccination

'Breaks ranks' Hardly. Its called diversifying. Just like how ONP and even Palmer are all really on the same team as the Liberals.

There all breaking ranks .

They are not Anti-vax. Like myself, most have had all their vaccinations. It comes down to risk. The TGA provisionally authorises Pfizer, Jan 2021. Released Australian Public Assessment Report - data limitations and directed post authorisation data to be collected. Who got it?

Lol they all believe this, just most are keeping quiet

“…believes in the things I believe in…”! Exactly. Her way or the highway. What of differing opinions?

One thing is certain about politics; self interest wins every time

And they are still the people in charge Bring on some accountability

The crowd chanted 'sack them all' as Ms Davies finished her speech.. Haha, that mean sack her too.

Her seat Mulgoa NSW has a pretty big margin. She got 61% of the vote last state election. Any luck it will upset the electorate and cut her margin by 12+%

Desperate politics when you need the fringe voter to get you re-elected.

Everyone, particularly young children should be mandated to get covid shots every month because these shots have proven to be so effective in stopping transmission. 👏👏👏 Anyone who opposes these mandates despite being vaxxed themselves is an antivaxxer and Nawzi.

🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

They are anti mandate protestors. Also known as voters and tax payers.

50% of hospital admissions in WA come from the 2% of the population- anti vaxers - go figure. The hospital rate is so low in wa because of high booster rate and no previous spread to mask how sick unvaccinated people can get.

Sack her

Desperate Liberal courts cooker vote. Is anyone surprised?

Is this how the liberals grow their undercover liberal independents to face the future threats of overwhelming independents in our parliaments,with their fake liberal independents.

Health First and Stay Safe.

Believing in something doesn't make it a fact.

What restrictions are there now? Also SA changed government because Marshall opened up to early. The places that stayed shut against media demands? WA. TAS. QLD. All stayed in gov.

Why are the LNP full of anti-vax lovers?

Not sure what you mean by 'breaks ranks'. Multiple others are of the same mind and have also done this, or similar.

Two-year-old child dies after contracting COVID-19 in NSWNSW Health said the "previously well" child died at the The Children&x27;s Hospital at Westmead due to a COVID-19 infection. That is a tragedy. But did the child die from covid or did the child have other health problems, that with getting covid, it contributed to dying prematurely. jesus christ people the child had covid and died from it. have some respect for the family rather than try to change the story to further your conspiracy theories 🙄 It’s very sad and devastating for the parents, I wonder what other health issues the child had, sadly young children and babies die every year from flu, gastro and whooping cough. But that’s not reported why ?

NSW announces inquiry into flood crisis after criticism of state’s responseActing premier says review will investigate preparedness for such catastrophic events, as well as response and recovery He could just ask Greg Mullins? Spending millions on an inquiry by a pentecostal mate of Morrisons with no emergency preparedness or response background other than managing road blocks stinks of yet another coverup. I wonder if the Banana Republic of NSW is preparing another inquiry stunt. Domicron turned Domiflood may bring some Spanish Inquisition experts. Mick fuller to head up the inquiry..., why bother with the pretence 🤔
