A group of Queensland Police Service employees' legal bid to defy their Commissioner's direction to be vaccinated for COVID19 has failed.The legal action was triggered by Commissioner Carroll's direction for all QPS staff to receive one jab by October 4
All QPS employees must now be vaccinated by January 23 next year or face suspension without pay or dismissal The QIRC ruled two dispute applications to challenge the Commissioner's direction on three grounds have all failed and were dismissed.
drlizzieskinner Unfortunately they don’t evaluate sense of judgment when joining the police force
Good. Get vaccinated or find another job. You deal with vulnerable members of the public all day everyday. It’s your responsibility to protect them, your family, your colleagues and yourselves and if you aren’t prepared to do that you are in the wrong job.
peggymel2001 I am pro-vaccination, pro-choice & fully vaccinated, I couldn’t get vaccinated fast enough, yet I cannot & do not support mandatory vaccination. I fundamentally believe that everyone has the right to make decisions re. their own healthcare unless they are deemed incompetent.
Hasn’t been a good week for QPS. There’s a senior constable on paid suspension for (allegedly) crossing the border to pick up his daughter and QPS have to pay the legal costs of Jonathan Sri a greens councillor.
Hooray! Never had a chance.
Good
Get vaccinated and keep your job.
Wow, no freedom of choice in the world!!
Those people (formally) employed to enforce the law spit the dummy when they're told to follow the law. COVID19qld
Good o
It’s a pandemic, get vaccinated out of respect for your coworkers who have.
Lol.
Good
The QPS would surely also run the WHS argument being that mandating vaccines is the only reasonable way to protect police officers from the real risk of serious illness and possibly death.
So sick of these anti vaxxers- 1% of the population taking up 99% of time.
Let them resign; we need more fruit pickers
Queensland Police lose legal bid against mandatory COVID jab. Good to see that the courts are looking out for the community rejecting this nonsense claim.
A good news story.
Good
How can a police officer enforce the law when he, himself is not vaccinated? Doesn’t work that way. Get Vaccinated!!!!
ketaminh
The law sucks, huh? 😂
QldPolice never had a chance when the “government “ is stacked from bottom to top. “They” own the judges etc etc etc. Take it from me, I have seen how the “system” works, in be sure of it- corruption is very much the rule not the exception 😶🌫️
so whens the interview with the 0.0001% of cops who will resign in protest
Good job too
Good!
Probably the same thugs who have been bashing people for not wearing masks. No sympathy best you all quit because if you have bashed people you probably be prosecuted and jailed and receive some rough justice and payback
This just proves how corrupt the court system actually is across the entire country. She does not have the power to mandate vaccination because there is no Commonwealth law for mandating vaccines. They should appeal the decision on grounds of judge prejudice and go again.
No jab, no job! No jab, no job! No jab, no job!
Next they'll want to be exempt from paying taxes, Medicare levy, fuel excise, GST etc, because you know, individual rights. Grow up.
It's not just Police. There have been numerous occupations that have been told they must be fully vaccinated and a small percentage objecting to that decree and taking it to court
I guess the can still just quit.
Surely if they have a doctor’s note they won’t be required to risk it? Those with anaphylactic responses to some medications or vaccines? Immune compromised?
They're not being 'forced' to have vaccination, they have absolute free choice. It's just the simple fact that the employer has the right to nominate conditions of employment, and in this case it's about public safety. Simple - although apparently hard for some to understand.
Sad times
Derh!
Excellent!
Good, if I had my 2 vaccines jabs then they should have theirs also.
When they joined they knew there were conditions of employment This was a condition. They had a choice. Get the jab or dont. They know the consequences Stay a cop or dont. Choices have consequences Welcome to reality.
Good
yeah!... funny that!
Good!
Good
Nothing is being forced on them. It’s a choice. If they decide not to be vaccinated, then they are a risk to the general public. I fully support their termination
If these little babies won’t even follow basic health & safety protocols imagine the disgusting stuff they get up to.
Do what the Organisation says or leave. What's the news here?
Funny thing - all recruits had to show Hep A and B vaccination or have it at the academy. It was a condition of employment. It is not unusual. 🤷
An old book called the Bible reads like a script with what's going on in the world right now. The message is clear, NO mercy for those knowingly complicit! Noah was a conspiracy theorists, then it started to rain! Buckle up! According to the old book this is just the beginning!
I wonder why? They can get another job if they don't want it... But they wanted to be essential workers, so essential workers essentially need to be existing to exist, they need to be alive..
Funny, a convicted criminal with the Vaxx has more freedoms than a police officer without it.
10 jabs later....... Just another 2 weeks to flatten the curve 🤦♂️
Vax death memorial at Brisbane Botanical Gardens. Average age of death from covid is 80-85 globally! These people had years before they got to 80 😭
To serve and infect.
It's an unexpected benefit that people who have fallen down the RWNJ rabbit hole are excluding themselves.
Ha. Well that was a waste of time and money.
“You are free to choose, but you are not free from the choice of your actions.” Take that Anti-Vax Cult 🖕🏼
Why did they even bother? When the high court has already ruled that mandates are not illegal, what relief can the industrial commission offer?
I feel sadness for them and for anyone who is “ Forced “ to do anything against their will that obviously gives them extreme anxiety. Wishing them all the best and sincerely hope that the outcome from their injections are positive.
Great news , NOW terminate them
No jab no job
Lmao get stuffed coppers
