Australians Protest in Melbourne After New Sweeping Vaccine Mandate Announced

Australians took to the streets for another protest in Melbourne in the state of Victoria on Saturday after the government announced a sweeping COVID-19 vaccine mandate for all “authorised workers.”

Victorian residents took to the streets and congregated in a group that marched along Southbank Boulevard and the track around Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens. Participants carried a large white banner with the word “Freedom” and voiced their dissent against vaccine mandates, lockdowns, and the current state government.

A video from citizen journalist Rukshan Fernando showed the protesters marching peacefully and yelling slogans such as “my body my choice” and “freedom! … now!” Two black umbrellas can be seen with the words, “coercion is not consent,” and “sack Dan the dictator.”

Victoria’s premier, Daniel Andrews, announced on Friday that everyone with a job on the state’s “authorised worker” list must have a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by Oct. 15, and a second dose by Nov. 26 to keep working on site, lest they risk losing their job.

The requirement covers a vast range of professions spanning 1 million to 1.25 million people in Victoria. The vaccination deadline is separate from another deadline that’s being imposed on those working in aged care, healthcare, construction, education, and freight.

THE MARXIST DEMS BROUGHT COVID HERE FOR MORE THAN SIMPLY GETTING RID OF TRUMP, AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO THEIR CORRUPTION. COVID WAS JUST STEP ONE OF A FAR MORE INSIDIOUS - AND DEADLY - PLAN!

WOW! The Marxism is getting strong in Australia- pretty soon the government will be assigning jobs to everyone based on experience-

This is Victoria, not the whole of Australia. It is like writing that California is the USA(or New York) NYC itself has a larger population than all of Victoria. These are mainly the policies of Melbourne alone, much of rural Victoria is conservative. It is just like Chicago controlling all of Illinois, for example. The Premier Andrews is a dedicated Marxist.

How long will the Aussies put up with these edicts? Same for over here in the U.S.

I just watched those pro-Choice, pro-Covid demonstrations and they were really something, but I think the police shut them down pretty quickly. Local Melbourne TV had some good clips of the action:

More than surprised some of these “leaders” haven’t been tarred and feathered and run out of town.

Oh that’s so wrong! Wow. It’s like the mark of the beast. It’s Biblical.

[Bob434]

Ok, thanks for the c,arification. I assumed it was the whole country that was locked down the way the news made it sound

Gladys Berejiklian has resigned as New South Wales premier over 10’s of millions of bribes from the pharma companies.

I bet those that run the state of Victoria are taking massive bribes as the premier listed above.

Is there a news article on that you can share? That would tend to be a court case, I can imagine.
