Letter to UQ chancellor and Senate – Vax mandates destroy University credibility

,

28 January 2021

Dear Mr Varghese

Your attention as a member of the University of Queensland senate is drawn to the accompanying copy of my letter to the Prime Minister discussing matters of considerable risk and concern to students and staff for whom you provide governance.  You are responsible.

Similar letters were sent to the state Premier and to state and federal health ministers.

As a board member you are a person conducting a business for the purposes of Workplace Health and Safety compliance.  Given the complete lack of longitudinal studies, ineffectiveness in stopping transmission and serious documented conflicts of interest and adverse events in relation to the COVID vaccines, your university’s vaccine mandate places UQ and you, as a member of the Senate, in a challenging position.

I wonder if you have been afforded independent or critical advice on the risks of the university’s policy of banning students and staff from campus based on Covid-injection status?

Has the UQ Risk Assessment and Management Plan identified that mandating vaccination is necessary and there are absolutely no alternatives to reducing the spread of COVID?  How could it be necessary when COVID vaccines do not stop the transmission of COVID?  Why is a Rapid Antigen Testing regime not an acceptable alternative to reduce the spread of COVID, given that a vaccinated person with a positive test result can still transmit COVID, presenting a bigger transmission risk than an unvaccinated person with a negative test result?

These are questions that UQ has not adequately answered and which you must answer to satisfy your duty of care.

A finding of misconduct on some students can mean they will effectively never be able to pursue a career in their chosen field.  What justification is there for such a heavy-handed punishment for the supposed behaviour of a student or teacher entering land and buildings which taxpayers have funded for the purpose of providing a tertiary education?

Having seen one of the surveys and the Vice-Chancellor’s letter dated 20 December 2021 to students, I am deeply concerned with the process that led to an apparent 80+% implied “acceptance” of these mandates.  The process, pressure and leading questions that the university applied to achieve this are a betrayal of critical thinking and an excursion down the slippery path of propaganda. [1]

It seems that feelings and appeals to ‘safety’ rooted in media and political statements have replaced health data, facts and objectivity.  Your students and staff have raised with me their fear that their university is destroying the original aim of university as a place for rigorous thinking, and honest and vigorous debate.

The strongest indicators of COVID mortality rate appear to be old age and pre-existing co-morbidity conditions, not vaccine status.  Perusal of Queensland’s reported COVID deaths confirms this.  Despite a vaccination rate over 90%, transmission is occurring at the highest rate ever, with Israeli studies suggesting that even four injections are not enough to stop the Omicron variant. 

Specifically, there is a distinct lack of COVID deaths among young people of tertiary student age and almost all of the few deaths in that age group are reportedly due to underlying health factors.

I know that several senior members of your university’s medical faculty are aware of significant concerns among the university community, at all levels, about the university’s mandatory vaccination policy.

Please refer to the attachment containing remarks and questions associated with the Vice Chancellor’s letter of 20 December 2021, the Risk Assessment and Management Plan and the Policy 2.60.09 COVID-19 Vaccination.

I ask, what have you done to satisfy yourself that the university’s vaccine mandates are soundly based on independent and objective empirical scientific evidence and that the mandates respect the aim of universities to be places of independent thought and critical analysis?

Our political leaders now tell us every day that we need to simply live with COVID, signalling that we are no longer in an emergency requiring declarations and mandates such as the punitive mandate that the university is enforcing.

On behalf of my constituents among the university’s students and staff, I ask that you please provide your students and staff with the respect and courtesy of a reasoned and proportionate policy that appropriately and accurately reflects quantified age-appropriate risks to students and to staff.

In view of the risk of serious adverse health effects, including death from the COVID injections, personal informed choice must be returned to students in place of your imposed risks.  This is particularly important because COVID injections are publicly acknowledged among health professionals to not offer protection from transmission to those around them on campus.

It is a hallmark of our human civilisation’s values, and notably of our health system, that wherever there is risk, there must be choice.

In regard to the COVID injections, the federal Minister for Health, Mr Greg Hunt stated, quote: “The world is engaged in the largest clinical vaccination trial.” [2] The COVID injections have been granted provisional approval based on a literature review of overseas data that pharmaceutical companies provided.  Australian health authorities have done no independent testing.  Yet on that basis the University under your governance is mandating a medical procedure with no longitudinal studies and forcing students and staff to participate in a trial – against their will. You are forcing them to inject themselves with something for which nobody knows the long-term effects.  It is essentially experimental.

Instead of being punished and exiled from your community, students who choose to analyse their individual risk profile and make their own choice should be respected and their individual autonomy and critical thinking encouraged.  I implore you to take action to oppose and dismantle the vaccine mandate at UQ and to respect individual autonomy as part of the critical thinking process necessary to every university in Australia.

There are alternatives that enable students and staff alike to be safe and to complete their studies, research and work.

I look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely

Malcolm Roberts

Senator for Queensland

MEDIA RELEASE: Palaszczuk government must get kids back to school with no delay

,

The Palaszczuk government must get kids back to school with no delay to keep their future safe.

Palaszczuk will delay the start of the school term by two weeks on the back of health advice claiming the omicron wave will peak at the end of January, similar to advice at the start of the pandemic that pandemic restrictions would only last two weeks to flatten the curve.

Over the past month government has rapidly shifted gear in what they say but not what they do. They say we need  to live with the virus, but prove with the cancellation of schools that they are unwilling to do so.

The government is unwilling to give up control, again relying on secret “health advice” to throw parents everyday lives into chaos and hamstring students who have already suffered with years of disrupted learning.

Parents know that the logistical nightmare of not being ready for remote learning is detrimental compared to having their kids in school at a proper learning environment.

We hold the formative years of a child’s life sacred for a reason, sometimes you don’t get a second chance at them. There is no reason to mandate either students or their teachers to receive COVID vaccines.

Many teachers know this, which is likely why over 20,000 of them reportedly won’t be returning to work this year after the Palaszczuk government mandated injections for them and they were sacked or resigned.

Palaszczuk claims this is about safety. It’s not. The premier is trading short-term pretend safety for the long-term detriment of our children’s lives and learning journey to try to get Labor elected.

I’m calling on the Premier to drop the mandates, return kids to school without delay and live with the virus as politicians have promised us.

The ACT COVID Bill – Letter to Health and Community Wellbeing Committee

,

10 January 2022             

                                                                                                                                                           

Hon. Johnathan Davis MLA

Chair, Standing Committee on Health and Community Wellbeing

ACT Legislative Assembly

GPO Box 1020

Canberra ACT 2601                   

                                      

Dear Mr Davis

Submission – Public Health Amendment Bill 2021 (No 2)

Our constituents are shouting their concern and need for the immediate restoration of basic human rights and freedoms and lifestyle.  Yet this Bill proposes to entrench the removal of these rights from everyday Australians and therefore it must be opposed.

Constituents want an end to the mismanagement that has caused segregation, discrimination and unwarranted damaging control under vaccine mandates.  They want an end to the contradictions, hypocrisies and confusion engulfing politicians and health advisers.

Constituents see that restoring freedom, choice and personal responsibility is the way to make 2022 the year people get on with their lives.  I agree.

Specifically, we refer you to and oppose the following provisions:

  • Section 118Z – represents a breach of what Australian’s regard as our rights and freedom of choice for a once in a century event.
  • Threatening a worker’s job is a manifestly excessive response to the management of COVID-19, yet this Bill would enable job losses threatening jobs and families.
  • Legislating for what should be an emergency response for a short time is inappropriate.
  • Review processes must be free and quick and must be independent of the ACT government.
  • Reversal of the onus of proof is wholly inappropriate and must be removed.
  • Australians who have informed themselves and elected not to be vaccinated should not be punished.  Yet it is foreseeable that this Bill would enable this undemocratic outcome.
  • The Australian Government has elected not to mandate vaccination and therefore the ACT should likewise abstain.

The Greens and Labor have again shown that Australians cannot trust them by proposing such an undemocratic law which fundamentally conflicts with our basic human rights, freedoms and lifestyle.

Australians now want the return of our Australian way of life free of coercive and debilitating lockdowns and vaccine mandates.  People want honesty and accountability. I ask you and the Standing Committee on Health and Community Wellbeing to oppose and reject this Bill.

Yours Sincerely

Malcolm Roberts

Senator for Queensland

Letter to Scott Morrison: Let Australians Free

,

7 January 2022

The Hon. Scott Morrison MP

Prime Minister of Australia

PO Box 6022

House of Representatives

Parliament House

CANBERRA  ACT  2600

Dear Prime Minister

Our constituents are shouting their concern and need for the immediate restoration of basic human rights and freedoms, lifestyle and safety.

Constituents want an end to segregation, discrimination and unwarranted damaging control under vaccine mandates and an end to the contradictions, hypocrisies and confusion engulfing politicians and health advisers.

Constituents see that restoring freedom, choice and personal responsibility is the way to make 2022 the year people get on with their lives.  I agree.

Australian health advisors and politicians have had almost two years to review the data and the research, and to understand people’s needs on COVID-19 vaccinations.

Robert Kennedy Jr’s authoritative, detailed, validated book “The Real Anthony Fauci” documents the inhuman corruption among senior USA health bureaucracies overseeing COVID-19 vaccine provisional approvals.

In brazen conflicts of interest, taxpayer-funded health agencies have become money-making arms for major pharmaceutical companies. Some senior bureaucrats overseeing pharmaceuticals benefit financially from vaccine research and approvals.  This is also true in Australia, with no ongoing independent validation and oversight for conflicts of interest.

Kennedy documents America’s perversion of medical governance over four decades based largely on many repeated false or exaggerated claims of virus/disease threats.  This led to corrupt approval of ineffective and dangerous COVID “vaccines” in America, bypassing proper testing and approval processes while hiding massive adverse effects, including many deaths.

The litany of American fraud, corruption and human atrocities over the last forty years has cost many thousands of lives and adversely affected millions of people in the USA, Australia and globally.  Robert Kennedy Jr’s book authoritatively raises the spectre of genocide and of racist killing of African-American, African, Indian, Hispanic and other babies and children in “testing” of vaccines.

Yet the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) hastily and provisionally approved the major pharmaceutical companies’ COVID “vaccines” based merely on a literature review, seemingly weighted heavily to the deliberations and verdicts of American approval agencies.  Australian health agencies did no independent testing and evaluation before granting provisional approvals.

Yet on this basis state governments implement vaccination mandates that the federal government enables and effectively supports, despite your false claims that there are “no vaccine mandates in Australia”.

A second corrupt American tactic to drive vaccine profits has been the banning of proven safe and effective early treatment, drugs and protocols.  Your government and agencies have similarly been complicit in banning such treatments instead of proactively seeking, proving and assuring supply of these medicines for early treatment and prevention to keep Australians safe.  Other nations’ governments have taken such action to safely protect their citizens.

You and your departments have said the benefits of COVID vaccines outweigh their risks, yet a growing international body of evidence points with increasing confidence to the need for you to reassess your assumptions.  Despite this strong evidence you are still pushing people toward early death.

In mandating COVID vaccinations using the coercive threat of denying people’s livelihoods and basic human rights and freedoms, you are culpable for needless deaths and serious injuries to thousands of Australians. Yet you continue to persecute Australians who have informed themselves about the life-threatening reality of COVID-19 vaccines having severe adverse effects despite limited and rapidly declining vaccine efficacy.

I urge you to immediately stop the vaccine mandates that Premier Palaszczuk says are in line with your so-called “national cabinet”. I urge you to instead develop an honest and comprehensive plan letting people get back to work while providing focused treatment and protection for the sick and vulnerable in ways already proven in other nations – yet negligently not adopted in Queensland or Australia. People need and deserve a proper comprehensive long-term plan for real care.

There are no scientific or medical grounds for the division of our society, communities and businesses based on “vaccine” status.  Vaccine mandates are a tool for coercion to condition and control people.

You, the Premiers and health officers have said we need “to live with COVID-19”.  Health officers have made similar statements. That means there is no need for emergency declarations whose only purpose is to enable coercive mandatory vaccination.

After two wasted years, people’s lives and livelihoods are being decimated.  Vaccine mandates are crippling hospitals and health care, emergency services, jobs, businesses and communities because governments have been ignorantly reacting to the virus and not managing the virus. Instead of controlling the virus, governments have controlled people – and have done enormous damage.

Australians want the return of our Australian way of life, free of coercive and debilitating lockdowns and vaccine mandates.  People want honesty and accountability.  I ask you to take action to end the divisive and harmful vaccine mandates immediately.

Yours sincerely

Malcolm Roberts

Senator for Queensland

Unvaccinated lockdown in Northern Territory inhumane and baseless

,

Original Story: Unvaccinated people in the NT will be subject to tough new measures.

Our political leaders are telling Australians that we have to live with COVID, yet Chief Minister Gunner’s latest whole of NT lockout for the unvaccinated epitomises the ongoing disastrous COVID mismanagement.

Australians and Australian businesses need to get back to work, yet Gunner, completely out of step with a national effort to live with COVID, is locking out NT residents who are not vaccinated.

There is no legal or medical evidence for discriminating against unvaccinated residents.

The Prime Minister needs to use every opportunity to intervene and show some urgent leadership to protect the NT residents from their own tragic Chief Minister.

Our Chief Health Officers have made it clear that we are all going to get COVID, and that being vaccinated is no guarantee to escape the virus. Gunner is going rogue and crucifying his citizens, which is the pervasive theme of all Labor premiers.

Like the flu, COVID is here to stay whether we like it or not, and we have to adapt and learn to live it. Australians want the Australian lifestyle back, yet our premiers are persistently dragging their feet, caught up in their own cycle of ineptness and self-serving political rhetoric.

Is Anthony Fauci a genocidal maniac?

,

The evidence of Anthony Fauci’s previous bungles is available for all to see. This and more on Marcus Paul in the Morning.

Transcript

[Marcus Paul]

You know I’ve enjoyed my sparring sessions with One Nation Senator, Malcolm Roberts, throughout 2021. So much so that I’m gonna do it for years to come. Malcolm And I sometimes don’t see eye to eye on certain issues, and that’s okay. One thing I do appreciate is him holding the federal government to account on a number of issues. And Malcolm has been very vocal on issues that he is passionate about. Look, I don’t know a politician that seemingly does as much research and collates as much empirical data as what he does. And for that, he should be commended. Malcolm Roberts, good morning.

[Malcolm Roberts]

Good morning, Marcus, and thank you for the introduction.

[Marcus Paul]

It’s all right, Mate.

[Malcolm Roberts]

By the way, I’ve got two things. First of all, you’d be very pleased to know that you’re converting me. I’m reading a book by a lefty.

[Marcus Paul]

Ah, stop it.

[Malcolm Roberts]

And it is stunning. And the lefty is Robert Kennedy, who is Robert Kennedy Jr., actually.

[Marcus Paul]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Malcolm Roberts]

Robert Kennedy, the assassinated Robert Kennedy’s son.

[Marcus Paul]

Right.

[Malcolm Roberts]

Marcus, It is absolutely stunning.

[Marcus Paul]

What’s it about?

[Malcolm Roberts]

Well, it’s called, the title is called, “The Real Anthony Fauci”.

[Marcus Paul]

Right, okay.

[Malcolm Roberts]

You know who Fauci is, of course.

[Marcus Paul]

I do, yes.

[Malcolm Roberts]

He’s the man who started this exaggeration around the world. And that man, according to Robert Kennedy’s work, is an absolute criminal. He’s an inhumane, genocidal maniac. And he has deliberately suppressed, and dishonestly suppressed ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and many other standard treatments, combinations of treatments that doctors around the world have been using highly successfully for one reason, to get injections into people around the world. And Robert Kennedy has sat down and wrote this book over a number of months. He’s got something like 2000 references in it from scientific peer reviewed papers, right through to newspaper articles. And he documents about his criminal behaviour over decades. And it is absolutely stunning. And we have all been sold a pup. And Fauci has got blood on his hands to the tune of hundreds of thousands of fatalities, and thousands of, tens of thousands. That’s hundreds of thousands of fatalities that could have not occurred because we would have been using other treatments. And tens of thousands of people who have died due to adverse effects from these injections. It is absolutely disgraceful and we need to be holding people to account.

[Marcus Paul]

All right, what’s the name of the book again?

[Malcolm Roberts]

“The Real Anthony Fauci.” I ordered it a couple of months ago when I heard it was coming, for my son for a birthday present, but it hasn’t arrived yet because I think it’s selling so well in America that they can’t print them fast enough. You could get it in Britain for around about $2.99 for the, what is it, PDF version and the Kindle version. It is stunning.

[Marcus Paul]

All right. What I want you to do as well, considering you’re into books written by lefties, there is another book that I would like you to read. It’s written by a good friend of mine, Vanessa Badham. It’s called “Qanon and On.” All right, so that’s another. In fact, I might even get a copy of you signed by Van herself, sent to your office for Christmas, from me to you. How’s that?

[Malcolm Roberts]

That’ll go well, yeah.

[Marcus Paul]

There you go. All right, Mate. What else are we?

[Malcolm Roberts]

Yeah, the other thing, the other thing I wanted to raise was I’m still waiting.

[Marcus Paul]

I know you’ll be waiting forever. Look, I got you, I got you a listener. I got you a listener to debate with this year. Wasn’t tearing him a new one enough or what?

[Malcolm Roberts]

Well, Mate, he showed that there is no science because he didn’t present any science, no empirical evidence proving cause and effect. And that’s the thing that I see everywhere. I’ve held politicians accountable, senior politicians, Penny Wong, Anthony Albanese, no one has got this stuff, Mate, no one.

[Marcus Paul]

You’ve taken on the Wongster. There’s no way.

[Malcolm Roberts]

I wrote a letter to her asking her for the evidence.

[Marcus Paul]

Yeah, but what about if you and, now that’s a debate I’d pay to see, you and Penny Wong having a discussion about climate change.

[Malcolm Roberts]

I’ll donate the proceeds to a charity that you care to name, Mate. You arrange it and I’ll be there.

[Marcus Paul]

Well, I can only ask. I can but ask. I mentioned this before. Nearly 40% of Australia’s coal fired generation capacity will shut down by 2030 under the greenhouse gas emission cuts promised by Labour and the federal government. Both have proposed a massive expansion of renewable energy to cut pollution from electricity generation, which accounts for around 30% of Australia’s emissions. Now I already called for the oxygen for Matt Canavan. Do I need to send oxygen your way as well?

[Malcolm Roberts]

No, because the facts will dismantle it. Unfortunately, a lot of people are going to hurt and we’re gonna lose a lot of industry. Labour is saying they want to stop coal. And yet they’re saying they won’t cost a single coal miner’s job. That is complete rubbish. It’s the stuff that comes out of the south end of a northbound bull Marcus. It is complete rubbish.

[Marcus Paul]

Hey Mate, just repeat that.

[Malcolm Roberts]

How can you shut down an industry, yet not cost a single job? The people in the Hunter, the people in Central Queensland will be devastated. But more significantly, when you shut down the cheapest form of power in this country, you will export more and more manufacturing jobs to China. We export our coal to China. They use our high quality, high energy, cheap, affordable coal. They generate coal [energy] at eight cents a kilowatt/hour. Because of our restrictions, we sell it at 25 cents a kilowatt/hour. We’ve gone from the cheapest coal and the cheapest power in the world to the most expensive. We have exported, not only our coal. We have exported our jobs, our manufacturing sector to China. And now we are dependent on the Chinese for much of our manufactured products. We can no longer sustain a defence force in this country because we don’t make our own bullets. We don’t make our own armaments. We don’t make our own machines. This is absolutely disgraceful. This is a highly important security issue, an economic issue, a social issue, a moral issue, and an integrity issue. And Labour is destroying, plans to destroy the country. If they get into power

[Marcus Paul]

Wow.

[Malcolm Roberts]

It’ll be the Greens, that run this joint.

[Marcus Paul]

Oh, rubbish.

[Malcolm Roberts]

It will be the Greens.

[Marcus Paul]

What a load of rot.

[Malcolm Roberts]

Look at the two coalitions. We’ve had the Liberal National Coalition since 2013. Prior to that, the last government was the Gillard Miln Labour Green Coalition.

[Marcus Paul]

That’s because it was a minority government. And obviously she was beholden to crossbenchers. And I don’t think that’ll happen under Albo, personally. I think they’re making it pretty, no, they’re making it pretty clear. I’ll speak to Richard Miles about it very soon. I’ll ask him like I’ve asked Anthony Albanese in the past. Will you be forming a coalition, for want of a better word, with the Greens? Their answer will be at an emphatic no, Malcolm.

[Malcolm Roberts]

That’s what they say. That’s not what they will do. They want power more than anything else. Even if they’re slaves to the Green. The Greens will say jump and Labour will say how high. That’s what’s gonna happen.

[Marcus Paul]

I love it, I love it. This is why I love having you on cause you and I can, we can spar and have a bit of fun. But as I say, I meant what I said at the beginning of the programme, of our chat. I do appreciate and do respect how hard you work. And, you fundamentally stand your ground on all of the issues that you feel so strongly for. And you have a strong supporter base as well. And look, I wouldn’t be surprised, given what’s been going on in this country in the last 12 to 18 months, that the One Nation vote doesn’t head north to a great extent when we hit the ballot box next May.

[Malcolm Roberts]

Well, I don’t make predictions about what people will do in elections. That’s up to the voters. But I do know that there is a huge groundswell around this country away from Liberal Nationals and away from Labour Greens. So I’ll leave it to the voters. But more significantly, what’s going on in Queensland, Marcus, is they’re starting to dismantle the narrative around COVID. There’s a huge groundswell. I’ve addressed crowds, hundreds, thousands of people, and Marcus, more telling than the numbers of people, are the energy in the people. They are angry, but then they are hopeful. They’re united. We have got local councils passing motions up and down our state and increasing in numbers, saying to the Palaszczuk Government, they will not be enforcing the injection mandate. The federal government knows, we’ve put them on notice. We will be continuing to oppose government legislation in the new year until we get our freedom back. We’ve got liberal senators now, two of them, Gerard Rennick and Alex Antic, standing up saying they will abstain from all government voting. The government is powerless, and we have to get our freedoms back, and the people are ready for that. They want their freedom back. Think again how I opened this session. Anthony Fauci is a genocidal maniac who has killed, no, he’s killed hundreds of thousands of people. He’s responsible for their deaths. And he’s also responsible for the prevention.

[Marcus Paul]

Don’t get me sued, Malcolm.

[Malcolm Roberts]

The data is there. I’ve read the data. I make comments only based on data.

[Marcus Paul]

All right, Mate. I’ve got to go. So just repeat that phrase. One of the best I’ve heard all year, what was it? Something out of the southern end of a bull. What?

[Malcolm Roberts]

It’s the stuff that comes out of the south end of a northbound bull, but more significantly, Merry Christmas to you, Marcus. I love being on with you, as you say. It’s good to have a respectful debate and Merry Christmas to all of your listeners and a happy new year to all. Let’s get this place back to normal.

[Marcus Paul]

You look after yourself. And to you and your family, take care. And I look forward to our further sparring matches next year in 2022. Thank you, Mate.

[Malcolm Roberts]

Thanks, Marcus. One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts. I love that. Well, what I would say is, he’s proposing that there’d be a Labour Greens coalition. Well, that to me sounds like something that comes out of the south end of a northbound bull.

Hold the line – Undivided Gold Coast Meeting

,

Every day more and more people are joining community rallies against the vaccine mandates that the government is steamrolling ahead with.

Thank you to Frankie Dog Turner Productions on The Grounded TV Network for additional footage of my speech.

Transcript

So we know we’re doing that for the people, you just confirmed that. But we had calls from Josh Frydenberg, the treasurer, saying, please pass my such and such bill.

Sorry mate, but this is really important to you guys too, it is, but there’s something more important than all of it. Freedom.

[crowd] Yes!

I want to compliment some liberal and national party senators Pauline and I will work with anyone, providing them, working in the national interest. Senator Gerard Rennick, Senator Alex Antic from South Australia, Senator Matt Canavan from Queensland. Senator Sam McMahon from Northern Territory, Senator Concetta Fierravanti-Wells from New South Wales, Craig Kelly from New South Wales, And George Christensen from Queensland.

So we have to be united and hold the line. We are here for freedom. Many people in this room have been coerced into the injection. We did not say anything about those people. They’ve been forced into it. Many are in the room, injected, double injected and not wanting it and regretting it, but that’s the way it’s been. That is despicable. We do not make any judgement that was your circumstances. If you chose it freely, that’s your choice. That’s what we want. Choice. Not coercion. I’m going to disappoint you now, because I’m going to tell the truth about something. You are expecting me possibly to come up with solutions. Don’t expect solutions from politicians. I’m serious! The people who caused this mess in this country are us, the voters. We keep voting for the same donkeys.

[crowd] Yeah!

And those donkeys are not working for us. They have got it so tightly stitched up that a federal senator, even Pauline cannot do much. What we’re doing is working in the political arena through our ban on the government bills, actually voting against it, I’ll get to your questions at the end, at the end of the evening, but we’re also working in the most important court of all, of the court of public opinion. That’s the only court that ultimately matters. I’ve got a barrister here of 40 years of experience. That is the only court that really matters. And we are all in that court. All of us are in that court. There’s no easy solution. The state Premiers have got things tied up with their emergency declarations, emergency directives.

I wrote a letter to that stage, to Palaszczuk and the Prime Minister back in the 19th of October of this year. 67 pages, six pages of letter, seven attachments with details, facts. I normally get staff to do something like that we’ve got some very good staff, but I wanted to make sure I understood it myself, So I did it every bit of it. Now what we’ve seen is that Annastacia Palasczuk state came back last Friday with two pages, not a single question answered. These guys are spreading the same stuff that comes out of the south end of a northbound bull, that’s what they’re doing. Virus characteristics, I asked the chief medical officer for the virus characteristics. The transmission building is high, not as high as South two, but the severity is low to moderate, low to moderate, not severe. That severity is less than some past flu’s. That is a fact, the death data. There is no pandemic of deaths. And you might say, well that’s because there’s lockdowns. No! There is no pandemic of deaths anywhere in the world! Sweden had a sharp rise in deaths, but that was just pulling stuff forward then now reverting to the mean. That’s facts. There is a change in the deaths and that is the Australian data shows deaths go like this, seasonal basis. There’s an upper range and a lower range. Since the injections started, the actual deaths have gone above the upper range, since the injections started. And then the government pulled a little trick. It used to release the death data two weeks after the month closed. 15 weeks and counting. Think about that. I asked the head of a TGA, some basic questions. I said, why have there been 564 deaths from the vaccines? He exploded. He says there haven’t been, there’ve been nine. So I went back to, I went back to my website, back to the internet later that afternoon and came back in the Senate estimates and asked the chief acting head, acting secretary, deputy secretary of the health department that I said, the figures actually show on the TGA’s website, 564 deaths due- this is doctors reporting deaths due to vaccines.

Only the ones that are reported!

They have a process for winding it down to nine. So I said, tell me the process. I want to know if they’ve had autopsies, I want to know if they’ve had blood samples tissue, cultures, et cetera. I want to know how I make 550 odd down to nine. This is one figure we all need to remember. Pfizer this year is forecasting an income of $43.5 billion. And the TGA, when I started asking questions of the TGA and started spreading the news that ivermectin, you’ve heard of that word, haven’t you? I’ve taken it for seven years ago. I’m still here. It didn’t shrink me, something else shrank me. So the TGA wrote me a letter, two and a half, three and a half pages long and they said I must cease advertising ivermectin. They quoted bits out of one of the acts. So how do you handle a bully? Stand up to them. So what I did was I wrote back a very short letter with the help of a barrister that said, I am a duly elected Senator of this parliament. How dare interfere with my communication to and from the citizens of this country. And secondly, I said the government has blood on its hands for refuting ivermectin. And do you know the answer I got? Thank you for your letter. These people, control freaks, are scared of us. They’re trying to control us because they’re afraid. Always beneath control there is fear.

[Crowd] Fear.

When people try to control, think about this leaders get up front, they listen and then paint the vision. And then they draw people with them. You only follow because you want to follow. Following is a choice. Leadership gives people a choice. All the way through this we’ve had the Prime Minister and all the Premiers pushing, kicking from behind and controlling. They are not leaders. They’re frauds. The government is the problem. The government is the problem with this country. Parliaments now, state and federal, serve the parties and their donors. They do not serve the people. That is fundamental. They tried to knock Pauline out, tried to jail her, because she was saying exactly that 25 years ago. But it’s more than that. The media is the problem. Who decides whether or not they buy the media? We do. I’ve cancelled my subscription to sky. I don’t listen to 2GB. I don’t listen to just about anyone, but it goes beyond that. It’s a global assault. This is coordinated from well outside us. It’s not just Western, it’s a global thing. The government is killing this country, to comply with a global order. The core problem is the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, WWF, Greenpeace, the Greens and I mean the Greens. The Greens are really strongly in favour of controlling people. Everything they do has control and they’re doing it on behalf of the UN. They knock back Pauline’s bill again, they knock back Pauline’s bill twice. They knocked it back from even going to committee. So that’s the core problem. But you know, if someone is offering you something like the UN is offering the government control over the people. It’s really the people who make the choice to implement the greed of the UN policies that are at fault and that’s being a Liberal National’s coalition and the Labour Greens coalition. And if you don’t remember the Labour Greens coalition, that’s what Gillard was in with Millon. Labour and Greens are in coalition, and God help us if they get back into power because the Greens will tell Labour what they want them to do. I want to touch on something in the last minute. Who knows about the digital integrity bill? Have a look at our Facebook page, the digital integrity bill, I haven’t got time to go into it, the government will sell your data to a corporation, store it overseas, and then charge you for access to your medical data. There are so many things that is heading towards bringing in a social credit system.

[Woman In The Crowd] Like China!

Like China, exactly. I haven’t got time to go into the details. I just want to leave you with two things. The parliament is the problem. The parliament is not holding government accountable, Pauline and I are trying, a couple of liberal senators are trying, but the parliament is the problem. The second thing is that Pauline and I, we’ll be voting against every government bill until we get freedom back for the people. But then I ask you to do something as well. I ask you to hold the line.

[Crowd] Yes!

I ask you to hold the line and recognise when people cannot- don’t blame them, blame Annastacia Palaszczuk and Scott Morrison. Scott Morrison could end this overnight. So hold the line, be in strong support of other people holding the line and stay united. One united.

200,000 signature petition against mandatory vaccines tabled

,

Despite only being open for 22 days, One Nation’s petition against discrimination on the basis of vaccination status has amassed over 200,000 signatures.

The petition reads:

To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled. The petition of the undersigned shows:

On the 21st of October 2021, One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson introduced her COVID-19 Vaccination Status (Prevention of Discrimination) Bill 2021 into the Senate. If supported this legislation would end the discrimination based on individuals’ COVID-19 vaccination status we see being inflicted on innocent Australians by the Commonwealth, state and territory governments, statutory authorities, local government and businesses.

This legislation must be passed with urgency in order to protect the rights and livelihoods of Australians who exercise their right to choose not to be vaccinated against COVID-19. In the words of Senator Hanson:

Australians who stand for their right to choose vaccination are just like any other Australians. They are doctors, nurses and paramedics caring for our health. They are police officers enforcing law and keeping us safe. They are soldiers, sailors and aviators defending our sovereignty. They are people who work alongside us in an office, in a factory, at a mine, on a farm or in a shop. They are volunteers helping their communities. They are people in line with us at Centrelink, and they are people sitting next to us in corporate boardrooms. They are people who live next door, down the street, across town and interstate. They are people born here and overseas, indigenous and non-indigenous, men and women, adults and children. They are our people. They are our fellow citizens. They are Australians just like you and me, with families and mortgages and worries and hopes and dreams.

Transcript

Today I table a petition calling on this Parliament to pass our One Nation legislation stopping COVID-19 injection discrimination.

This petition was launched only 22 days ago.

In that short time, more than 200,000 Australians have put their name to it.

The people’s strong opposition to injection coercion and discrimination continues to grow.

Last weekend many thousands of Australians exercised what little freedom remains to them to protest injection mandates.

Australians have spoken loudly & emphatically, and senators will ignore this growing voice at their grave peril.

The collusion last week to block this legislation from being referred to a parliamentary inquiry sends a clear message from parliament to the Australian people: “the people must be silenced”.

Parliament’s clear message is that we, the people, must not be given the opportunity to say that we oppose injection coercion and discrimination.

The message is that senators here are very frightened at what we all might say in an inquiry.

Senators are afraid that when we speak, we will expose their false narrative that everyone opposed to injection coercion and discrimination is an extremist anti-vax conspiracist.

Many people who have signed this petition are fully injected against COVID-19.

We, the people, are not against injections; we’re against government coercion and government-approved discrimination.

We, the people understand this issue is much greater than COVID-19 injections and pandemic restrictions.

We, the people understand this is about some of the fundamental principles of Australian democracy: freedom of speech, individual autonomy and the right to choose our own fate.

Senators, our job is not to silence the Australian people.

Our job is to listen to the Australian people and do what the people tell us.

As senators, we’re not dictators. We’re servants. Senators, the people are telling you to pass our legislation and end this pandemic of discrimination.

COVID Question Time

,

Despite millions attending rallies for freedom across the country, almost no COVID outbreaks have been recorded from them. We are also seeing concerning data out of other countries as Australia rolls out a booster shot and BigPharma rakes in billions of dollars.

Transcript

[Senator Roberts] My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Health, Senator Colbeck. In recent months, more than one million Australians have participated in freedom protests around our country, with many not wearing a mask, not socially distancing, and mostly, being uninjected. Opportunities for person-to-person transmission of COVID runs into the tens of millions, which, we’re told, is inviting mass outbreaks, yet the only case I know of COVID transmission at a freedom rally was a cluster that occurred in the Melbourne rally, and that cluster was amongst Antifa, anti-freedom protesters. Minister, in the last three months, how many COVID clusters, that’s two or more infections, have occurred at freedom rallies?

[President] The Minister representing the Minister for Health, Senator Colbeck.

[Senator Colbeck] Thank you, Mr. President. Thanks, Senator Roberts, for the question. Mr. President, I don’t think that there’s been any attempts to attribute specific COVID infections to any such public event of that nature. So, I don’t have, and we don’t hold, the government doesn’t hold data in relation to that, although it may be that some of that information is held at a state level, where the contact-tracing processes for COVID-19 are conducted, Mr. President, but can I go back to something that I have put to the Chamber on a number of occasions? The whole point of where the government is going in relation to the vaccination programme is to get as many Australians as possible to be vaccinated. We know the vaccine works, we know that it’s safe, and we know that it supports ourselves, in protecting us from COVID-19, we know that it protects our families, and we know that it protects our communities. And one of the really fortunate things that we’ve seen in this country is the willingness of Australians to go out and get vaccinated. In excess of 92% of Australians have now had a first dose, in excess of 86% of Australians have now had a second dose. It’s one of the reasons that we are able to start to reopen our economy, to reopen our communities, which is what I think the people who are participating in these protests are looking for. They want to see us be able to get around more freely, and the discipline, the decision to take up a vaccine, which we know is safe, we know that works, is really important, Mr. President, and we continue to monitor circumstances globally, as I said in my answer to the question earlier in time to Senator Smith, so that we can understand what’s happening with new variants, we can take appropriate actions to protect Australians from those new variants while we learn more about them, get to understand the impact that the vaccines might have on those new variants so that we can keep Australians safe. And we will continue to take all of the actions that we need to do just that.

Minister, your time has expired. Senator Roberts, a supplementary question.

[Senator Roberts] Thank you, a European study found the death rate per 100,000 of double-vaccinated subjects averaged 2.5 per month, with the uninjected rate lower, at 1.1. The government has authorised the third booster shot, so must have modelled death rates against overseas experience and have an anticipated outcome from your booster programme. Minister, what is the anticipated death rate for triple-vaccinated Australians as compared to unvaccinated Australians?

Minister.

[Senator Colbeck] Thank you, Mr. President. One of the things that we’ve seen here in Australia, and around the world, and one of the things that we’ve been concerned about as the pandemic has continued to progress is the impact on the unvaccinated of the virus. I know that when I was in Japan earlier in the year, the reporting out of the US that I saw on a daily basis was that in the United States, it was becoming very much a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Somewhere between 90 and 95% of those in hospital, suffering severe symptoms of COVID-19, were actually unvaccinated. Some figures out of New South Wales earlier this year indicated that similar proportions, 90 to 95% of those in hospital with severe illness, severe symptoms of the virus, were actually unvaccinated, Mr. President. The data is very clear. The data is very clear, and it shows up in the circumstances of the most vulnerable in this country, that the vaccine works.

Minister, Minister, your time has expired. Senator Roberts, a second supplementary.

[Senator Roberts] The South African Health Minister said on Sky News that the scientist who isolated Omicron never said it would be vaccine-resistant. Angelique Coetzee, the South African Medical Association Chair, stated on Fox, “Symptoms are so mild, we don’t know why so much hype is being driven,” yet Australian media have dialled fear to the maximum, freedoms are again being removed, and big pharma are raking in billions from boosters. Minister, will the death of the Liberal Party be counted as a COVID death or as self-inflicted?

[President] Minister.

[Senator Colbeck] Thank you, Mr. President. I suspect a party as proud as the Liberal Party will probably be around for a fair while longer than Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party. So, Mr. President, and I look forward to that, Mr. President, but can I say I do agree with Senator Roberts with respect to, we need to take the time, take the moment to understand the circumstances of this new variant. That’s why the government has taken the proportionate measures that it has done to ensure that we have the time to understand what the impact of this variant might be with respect to vaccination, with respect to transmission, with respect to the seriousness of its impact on the communities before we continue the processes that we’d undertaken with respect to opening up. That’s why we took the appropriate precautionary response at the weekend to say seven nations, oh, sorry, nine nations will cease access to Australia. So, we need to-

Minister, Minister.
