The CLP Opposition has labelled the NT government's vaccine mandate for workers "draconian and extreme" and a consequence of a botched vaccine rollout across the Northern Territory.The Opposition has lashed the NT government's mandatory vaccine rule for many workers across the Territory
Workers subjected to the mandate, which broadly covers all public-facing roles, including workers likely to come into contact with a vulnerable person, must be double vaccinated by December 24. "If the government had been doing their job over the last 18 months, and from the point when the vaccination rollout was initially mooted last year, and it was done properly, we wouldn't have to see these draconian measures that we've seen today enforced on Territorians," he said.
bloody hell …
Another load of CLP bullshit
Tough.
Opposition that is his job to oppose like covidiot
Do they understand what draconian means?
No more draconian than getting coronovirus
I've never heard of the CLP and I'll get a Twitter timeout with my first guess at what it stands for...
Cmon, if you were in power you would have too. Just like Gladys and Steven
I label anti-vaxxers as moronic. Do I get the ABC News to include that in the headlines?
Prob thinks seatbelts & red lights are draconian too. Muppet
Come to Victoria, the only thing you can do is what the government says you can do!
Safe workplaces. Employers protected from liability by allowing or directing only vaccinated personnel into an environment where a deadly virus is known to be present. Totally draconian.
If you want to save lives hand out ivermectin
Fight the mandatory vaccinations
Very hard to disagree. If we think vaccines are that important that they require mandates, then MANDATE THEM FOR ALL CITIZENS. Why all this discrimination around the edges. They are either vital, or not. If vital, then vital for all.
He probably agrees with putting Indigenous people in jail for possessing 1 can of beer tho
