The Queensland Labor Government’s decision to add an extra fine to unjabbed teachers is vindictive and cruel. It’s also about political donations and Labor taking care of their mates.
The Labor-aligned Queensland Teachers Union was nowhere to be seen when mandates were in effect and teachers were stood down without pay for more than half a year. The Red Union was different. They fought against mandates and teachers flocked to them and ended their memberships to the QTU who donates to the Labor party.
This fine was a move to punish unjabbed teachers who didn’t stay with the Labor-aligned QTU when they didn’t stand up for workers’ rights. If you ever thought Labor was the party for the worker, they certainly aren’t now.

Well, as I mentioned at the start of the show, we’ve seen so many conventions and rights, democratic rights tossed aside all in the name of public health. The sad reality is that it isn’t over. We learned today, we learned last night actually that the Queensland Government is planning to dock the pay of Queensland teachers who have decided not to get vaccinated.

Rowan Dean
And the Federal Government seems fairly indifferent to what’s going on as well.

Ultimately I think everyone has the right to make a choice about whether or not to get vaccine. But no one has the right to be free from the consequences of that choice. And these have been set out a long, long time coming. And they’ve had their pay docked, you know, for the six months running up to this. So this isn’t a surprise and it’s something that the Queensland Government going to have to work through with this very small pocket of teachers, given 99% are actually vaccinated.
00:56
Rowan Dean
A very small pocket of people we’re humiliating, demonizing and punishing. And here I was thinking labor was supposed to represent the workers. Hmm. Joining me now is One Nation Senator for Queensland, Malcolm Roberts. Great to see you, Malcolm. How are you?
01:15
Malcolm Roberts
I’m very well, thanks, Rowan. How are you? It’s good to be here.
01:17
Rowan Dean
Good mte, good. Listen, I got all these emails yesterday from several teachers, their families and other people who are absolutely livid with anger. You know, these are human beings. They’ve got feelings, they’ve got families. They’re being treated like dirt and scum, even though we know that, according to the CDC, the Center for Disease Control itself in the US, there’s no need.
01:42
Rowan Dean
They’ve now announced there’s no need to distinguish between vaccinated and unvaccinated. Personally, I wonder whether there ever was. Malcolm Roberts, what did you make of this news and how vindictive can a government be?
02:01
Malcolm Roberts
The real issue here is about political donations and about punishment. They’re the three words to remember. Now, I’ve been dealing with a teacher who’s been fighting for restitution for the teachers for a year and a half now. Sorry, sorry for half a year, because they were only cut on December 17th. But she’s been very strong. And so I called her up today and she pointed for four points with regard to punishment.
02:27
Malcolm Roberts
She said, first of all, they’ve been penalized for losing seven months worth of work because they were suspended due to not complying with the vaccine or the injection mandates, not misconduct, suspended due to noncompliance. They lost their pay for seven months. They lost their homes, marriages broke up, distressed people making decisions that were not good and sometimes causing lots of problems and heartaches.
02:52
Malcolm Roberts
Suicides. She’s personally had to talk four people out of suicide. Now after, if that’s not enough, they’ve been penalized for serious misconduct. So just January 23rd, which is only seven months ago, they were penalized, they were suspended, they were told, because noncompliance. Now they’re being accused of serious misconduct. Then the third thing is that some of these people have been living in state education, in state homes, and so they’ve been paying rent to the state government.
03:22
Malcolm Roberts
The state government tossed them out, tossed them out. And some of them couldn’t get their furniture out in time, were charged rent because the furniture was still in the place. One woman was denied the right to even access the furniture in her house. She had to pay someone to get it out for her. The fourth thing is they have now been labeled with this:
03:41
Malcolm Roberts
Quote “any further reprimand could lead to terminations.” This is belting them. It’s not just humiliating them. It’s belting them. This woman has been prevented from doing the work she loves for seven months.
03:56
Rowan Dean
Exactly. Malcolm, these are teachers. These are the people we rely upon to educate our young. To show. To show our children the ways of behavior, the values to take forward in life, positivity, creativity, inspiration, education. These are the people we rely on to bring those values to our children. I tell you, the sheer vindictiveness is there a more nasty, vicious government than the Palaszczuk government?
04:32
Rowan Dean
We saw Dan Andrews. He’s just a thug. We saw all the police brutality, throwing people to the ground, pepper spraying them and all this stuff. But we have this nasty, vindictive Palaszczuk government that seemed to want to hurt and punish anyone who disagrees with them. Is that an unfair comment?
04:51
Malcolm Roberts
You’re exactly right. If a private employer or a public company were doing this wrong, the Queensland Government would have been down on them like a ton of bricks. Now these are doing it. It’s bastardry at its worst, but there’s a reason why they’re doing it. The teachers believe that it’s got something to do with the fact that the Red Union, I think it’s called the teachers professional Association of Queensland a new Union has been making very great increases in numbers in the last few years and the Queensland Teachers Union is scared of that increase.
05:20
Malcolm Roberts
The Queensland Teachers Union has lost a lot of members. Now the Queensland Teachers Union is close to the ALP state government and they had d large sums of money from teachers dues to the Labor Party for their for their campaigns. Now all of a sudden they’re looking at membership drops and the Teachers Professional Association of Queensland, the Red Union, is taking over.
05:41
Malcolm Roberts
And so when the vaccine mandate came along, the injection mandate came along the QTU the Queensland Teachers Union, abandoned these workers, abandoned these teachers and the red union saw them flocking to them because the red unions stood with them side by side and took them,
05:59
Rowan Dean
Fascinating
06:00
Malcolm Roberts
Defended these people, supported them and that’s what’s going on now. We’ve got an industrial relations amendment bill coming in that’s going to make it difficult for the red union to get more members. This is about labor punishing people who dared to join the Red Union.
06:15
Rowan Dean
Malcolm Roberts, political donations. You’re 100% spot on there to point to the Machiavellian maneuvers behind it. Great to speak to you. Thanks so much for speaking up for those teachers and we’ll chat again soon. Thank you so much.
Unconscionable behaviour from Dictator Anna – jail is where she needs to be (and I would fear for the other prisoners!) Appreciating the continued efforts from Senator Malcolm & Rowan to demand a return to democracy and defend our teachers. Even if truly only 1%, there is never any excuse for this behaviour from anyone, let alone a government
Keep this issue in the news. These brave and principled teachers deserve the support of every good person. Free and informed consent is their right. The experimental jabs should never be forced on anybody.
I know for a fact numerous teachers very reluctantly got this so called vaccine. They were backed in a corner. It was never about following the science, always about lining the pockets of big pharma and governments.
and getting physical and psychological CONTROL of human beings – The PEOPLE, and activating THE AGENDA by the PSYCOPATHS – the MINORITY to impose their will onto weakened people. AUTO IMMUNE systems now PERMANENTLY DAMAGED.
Malcolm Roberts
Defended these people, supported them and that’s what’s going on now. We’ve got an INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS AMENDMENT BILL coming in that’s going to make it difficult for the red union to get more members. This is about Labor punishing people who dared to join the Red Union.
to: The PEOPLE of AUSTRALIA<
PLEASE WRITE/EMAIL to those concerned in Parliament and elsewhere, and ASK WHY and WHAT is in THIS BILL. TO EMAIL ta copy of THE BILL. THEN TAKE ACTION and support Senator ROBERTs and others.
She should be hauled through the courts on discrimination. This treatment of the unvaxxed is why the industry is struggling. Bringing in half train visa workers will make the situation worse not better.There is no accommodation available for thousands of new arrivals. What a nightmare this is becoming all because the government will not back down and stamp out all mandates
The government is beyond arrogant. Even though there has never been any difference between the health status of vaccinated and unvaccinated people the government is full of pride and still wants to unjustly punish these brave teachers that had every human right not to be injected with an experimental vaccine. I am livid and as a teacher myself I will never step foot in a classroom again.
THats WHY ALL INDIVIDUALs MUST STAND UP and BE COUNTED.
Congratulations dear Malcolm on your very important well spoken appearance on Rowans show. Thank goodness he’s starting to get the truth out from the media, and shame on all the other msm, but their day of punishment is coming. What the QLD Government and Teachers Union are doing is absolutely deplorable, discriminatory and criminal, by cutting these brave, common sense and truth informed Teachers of their well earned wage packet, Don’t worry, their days of punishment is coming also, but it’s still so very sad to see how evil people can be towards each other, all because of this WHOLE FRAUDULENT Virus, shut downs, poison jabs, and the shocking division of family and friends by the corrupt Government, Health, msm, and the flow on. Hugest Grateful Blessings for standing Bravely for Us in the ‘Know’. ❤️🙏🌟
Malcolm, keep hammering the truth with humility, respect and dignity.
These actions by this government are crimes against humanity under the Nuremberg Charter and medically unsustainable.
In a nut shell this gene therapy has never been fit for purpose and data from every highly injected country around the world now clearly shows its negative efficacy. The data worldwide and the evidence by so many real experts is overwhelming. I feel so sad for those amongst us who have only be trying to do the right thing by their families only to discover the truth was not as we/they were lead to believe.
When people who are honestly mistaken learn the truth, they will either cease being mistaken –or cease being honest! (Anonymous)
I agree this is absolutely deplorable, discriminatory and criminal. I 100% support the teachers who chose to not take the experimental jab. What is wrong with this country. There is also NOW, NO LONGER SUPPOSED TO BE DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN THE VACCINATED AND THE UNVACCINATED. The latest science and medical evidence shows that it’s actually the highly vaccinated and boostered who form the bulk of the hospitalised and dead.
I thank God the teachers who chose to remain unvaccinated had the good sense to do so. They should not be punished for their freedom of choice.
We needed more teachers to take a stand against this discrimination. The government is so corrupt and hypocritical. I am a teacher myself and the education department wants us to be inclusive of all our students needs etc. However they are doing the complete opposite and still at it by further punishing the sensible unvaccinated teachers. What a joke this has all become.
The Facts and Science has been known for a very long-time, and EVIDENCE available if you do NOT read Mainstream media,
PATENTS were registered years ago and have been steadily added to since.
Its the biggest FRAUD against humanity EVER!! and indeed is WW111.

Exactly. Malcolm, these are teachers. These are the people we rely upon to educate our young. To show.

*********************************************************
ROWAN DEAN,
These are NOT THE PEOPLE WHOM WE RELY ON TO as you state in the above paragraph.
PARENTS, repeat PARENTS – this is the PARENTS job!!!!!!
If one is fortunate enough to have quality TEACHERS – they then REINFORCE WHAT IS TAUGHT IN THE HOMES IN THE ABOVE AREAS. Seems to be that the younger parents are not in touch and think that by putting children into John Howard ALL day CARE CENTRES THAT is doing their job!!
How screwed up some people are now, through listening to grossly inadequate politicians – LEADERS???? that we have had for the last 40+ years.
Senator Malcolm Roberts you are definitely not one of that level of Politician – we are very grateful you are in the Oz Parliament, and those teacher that gave to my sons whom I am eternally grateful too, as they backed up the standards that I gave my sons. One with Asperger’s – thanks Fauci! (after his 2 jabs as a baby). NO recognition nor help in those days for my son. That’s why I worked and went without to send them to Brisbane Grammar School, that son got the understanding and support he needed with his difficulties with school learning.
This behaviour is disgusting, discriminatory and illegal. Australia is a signatory to the Nuremberg code which says that no-one has a right to force another person to participate in an experiment so as such Australia is supposed to uphold this stand. Just shows how much of a dictatorship Australia is in.
I don’t expect the judicial system to uphold our laws. Being a corporation they will only do as the Labour, Liberal, National and Greens corporations tell them, they are not impartial and have not been since at least the time Whitlam changed our constitution without the consent of the people via a referendum
Disgusting behaviour palashit
Teachers should walk out right now , and see how she deals with opening Qld schools then 😡
So they’re allowing these teachers to go back but at half pay for 18 weeks. And I guess that will prevent CVD and it’s spread!
Surely this is illegal. Class action is the way forward!
