Mandatory COVID vaccines for police and nurses unlawful, says Qld Supreme Court

The Queensland Supreme Court has found mandatory COVID vaccination for police officers and nurses was unlawful and in breach of their human rights. Dozens of police officers and health workers have been vindicated in a 115page judgement handed down on Tuesday by Justice Glenn Martin. He found the departing Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll was unlawful under the Human Rights Act when she issued a mandatory vaccination order in December 2021. A similar finding was made against Queensland Health Director John Wakefield that his departments equivalent vaccination policy was of no effect and paramedics couldnt be forced to have the injection. Todays finding is in response to legal action taken by 74 government workers opposing vaccinations. The government is yet to respond to todays historic ruling.
