The unrest kicked off after the Victorian government’s Covid vaccine mandate for the construction industry came into effect this week, with thousands of tradies and anti-vaxxers taking to the streets and clashing with police for days on end.Aly discusses how the controversial rule was “always going to be combustible” given around one third of workers in the industry are vaccine hesitant.
“This is a moment that requires supreme sensitivity and first-rate consultation, the opposite of which seems to have happened.Waleed Aly says vaccine mandates will do little to ease concerns. Picture: Channel 10 According to Aly, that’s a “subtle but profound difference” as it means the unvaccinated suddenly have to face the impact their decision is having on those around them by reducing the amount of work available.
“That’s a worry because in a pandemic, solidarity is probably the most important resource we have. And on the evidence of this week, you’d have to say it’s also the scarcest.”
They're called the Murdoch Riots, not the tradie protests.

“It is a very grave thing to tell someone who genuinely fears taking a vaccine that they will lose their livelihood, even if those fears are hugely misguided,” This...requires supreme sensitivity and first-rate consultation, the opposite of which seems to have happened.'. Exactly
Yeah. Nah. Incitement is a crime. theheraldsun is culpable.
bullshit
Wow. He’s actually said something right for a change!
In another life Waleed would make a good uncle Tom.. In this life he plays the part of a RW GRUB with a big mouth and no idea what he himself actually stands for.
Sounds too much like 'look what you made us do'
Eddie expert apparently
What difference, Waleed? 10 people are dying at Sydney almost everyday.
Your papers have fueled the rage, like FoxNews has. You have a lot to answer for. MurdochRoyalCommission
He's a big authority on nothing.
FFS He's like a wind up toy; same show performance/comment/take each time; regardless of subject, logic or capacity to understand the issue. As relevant as all the other hemorrhoids that have an 'opinion'.
Partly true, Aussies are pretty compliant so vaxx targets likely would have been met without mandates. Waleed neglects to include that Berejiklian govt response pushed Aust into this pressure cooker situation to vaxx or else - and her pressure to open up is making it even worse.
Rubbish. Victoria has been target of RWFWs supported by a toxic opposition party and of course Murdoch press. The main purpose is to discredit the premier at any cost.
Here's Waleed walking the same plank as others in the media have done before him. Goodbye to any respect you once had Waleed. You're done. You're gone.
Subtle difference hey? Hmmm... AusPol MurdochMorons
Cool story, bro, but actually the MurdochGutterMedia caused the MurdochRiots. Nothing subtle about it.
What a load of rubbish. MSM has a lot to answer for.
You mean to say one premier is a coward and a bully and the other is empathetic and kind?
HAHA nope it's just that these are right wing riots so they target Labor and dan... not gladys.
NSW push the onus on business to either force everyone to get vaxed, or run at half capacity. Victoria chose to take that burden off individual business by mandating. As usual, nsw takes the easy option and is praised, while Vic gov does the hard yards, and get crucified.
Waleed, this is an 'untrue' statement ! No justification to endanger Public Health and break Public Health Orders. They should all have been fined and arrested. There is a distinct difference when Pandemic Laws prevail over Democratic Laws.
Waleed thinks everything is subtle. It justifies his contribution. In looking for something he thinks noone else has spotted he misses the bloody obvious.
Waleed Aly is under pressure. His attempts to paint the thuggery of the anti vaxxer mob as having any kind of support from Melburnians has failed. What we’ve seen this week is alt right anti vaxxers mobs attempt to hold Melbourne to ransom. Their actions have failed.
Used to like him
Yea, NSW didn't have the Murdoch media's daily slagging of golden girl that Andrews did.
There was no mistake. The thugs protesting are just there to cause trouble and they she be caught and locked up. Any of these thugs that catch Covid must not be given any medical treatment. They cannot take up space for law abiding citizens.
According to Waleed Aly we have to handle grown adults who should know better, with kid gloves, treat them as precious little darlings easily outraged, to manipulate them into vaccination LoL Nah just tell them how it is. They're selfish fools if they don't vaccinate.
We already know Murdoch caused the problem that's why it's the Murdoch riots
MurdochRiots
Waleed keep your non factual comments to yourself ! We have no time for your paid commentary . Waleed paid mouthpiece of the RW
Meanwhile in Florida where medical advice has no bearing on policy they just had 1,213 deaths in 24hrs
State of Origin: The Pandemic Editions
Yes, in NSW it is mandated construction workers from the LGAs of concern get vaccinated. He excluded that bit. MurdochRiots
Please
If this was a planedimic not a pandemic the police have failed big time in Melbourne, I don't care if you are unvaccinated or vaccinated how the police have acted has been atrocious, and I feel we should DefundThePolice
It is not so complicated. LNP is linked to RDA. Anti Andrews agenda has been pushed since 2020. Clearly these groups are aided by money from somewhere if you look at the website so where is the money coming from?
Cause-effect 😂😂😂😂
Thank you Oh Great knower of everything 😒
But NSW DID mandate vaccines, but only for those from the LGAs of concern. That's the actual 'subtle' difference. They've also mandated vaccines for many other industries. This is shallow analysis from Waleed.
Waleed is a the last person I want to hear talk on anything
Are you a Liberal stooge full time now? So obvious. 🤬
Waleed is a propagandist. Not a journalist.
Who is Waleed ?
BoycottMurdoch NewsCorpse
The NSW vaccine mandates are stricter than Vic. The difference is that NSW has locked down poorer and browner people more harshly than Vic, which you’d think Waleed would be able to see…
Amazing how much traction he gets when it fits the Murdoch framing
BS. Media has been undermining Dan Andrews every step of the way. The antivaxxers & far right have been mobilised by a few manipulators, & egged on by Kelly, Christensen, Vic opposition.
Stop giving this guy a headline
Yes very subtle Waleed.🙄💦🍆
NSW is a Liberal Govt and Gladys didn’t receive the the backlash from the MurdochGutterMedia. The MurdochRiots is a direct result of the undermining of the Labor Govt in Victoria. Waleed is another LNP mouthpiece. Most likely on their payroll.
The left nutters will be turning on another of their ideological institutions now.
I stand with Dan and not Murdoch
People like Waleed and the Murdoch media caused a cycle of rage
WaleedAly Get rid of him , Now !
WaleedAli GOD . What a fanatical LEFTIST Can we DEPORT him ?
What's Waleed on lately, he's talking pure bulldust. Seems he's joined the anti Victoria campaign.
What happened to you?
He needs to go home and stay their. Get him off air
Christ. Waleed is desperate to come up with any reason that isn't the truth, huh? MurdochRiots MurdochGutterMedia MurdochFreeWorld MurdochRoyalCommission BanMurdoch ThisIsNotJournalism
It was fuelled by MurdochGutterMedia …. 2nd wave in Vic Dans fault 3rd wave NSW Vic ACT Global Pandemic
Civil and Religious freedom stamped all over..😭😭😢😢 Why are these evil elites doing this?
LadyPoop2 I’m loving this revision of the facts, Walid. You’re actually wrong though. When vaccines were made madntatory for construction in NSW it was a blanket mandate not based on capacity limits. It’s written right here on the NSW Health website.
LadyPoop2 newscorpse site, lies, distortion and bias are its DNA.
You mean Gladdy Fuked Up byy Not LOCKING DOWN HARD!!Just Say it!!🙄🙄🙄
What's the story behind this?
Waleed is a sell out Channel10AU
Maybe if Melbourne had been given the same amount of vaccines!? Besides vaccines were sent to Sydney from other states. It was unfair from the word go. Gladys incompetence gave Vic the covid outbreak ! MurdochGutterMedia
This was caused by Murdoch.
No difference. Victoria did it better before NSW stuffed up. Waleeds been bought.
The not so subtle difference is an 18 month campaign of brainwashing by the Herald Sun and Sky News of the feeble minded in Victoria. You know, Dan's a dictator, a communist, the reincarnation of Mao Tse Tung. It's typical Murdoch propaganda against any left wing government.
Waleed says? Is actually Waleed's opinion! People follow TV personality as they must be informed oracle's...
Omg the most irrelevant take from a second rate commentator. MurdochGutterMedia MurdochRiot
MurdochRiots are the result of sustained, unrelenting anti-Vic bias and lies in reporting and here comes another one. MurdochRoyalCommission CovidRoyalCommission
The only problem with this is the majority of construction are now vaccinated and the majority of protesters are not construction workers. Waleed is wrong on both fronts
Jumping through many hoops to justify this theory. You can’t make me get vaccinated to save my job but I will get vaccinated to save my mates’ cos solidarity. Did you see the caring compassionate blokes at the riots. Pull the other one.
Defending thugs, rioters with that comment......
