I know my views may just be in the minority here and possibly in the Australian community but I
need to tell you them or I am not doing my job.
We should be pushing right now for IMMEDIATE freedom for all. Freedom of choice.
Freedom of movement. And freedom from fear. For all.
And that means a few things that we should not be doing that we are doing.
We should not be pushing for invasion of people’s privacy by enabling businesses to ask
staff and customers to confirm their vaccination.
We should not be pushing for discrimination against Australian citizens who choose not to undergo a
particular medical treatment, and that means we shouldn’t be allowing the refusal of employment
or service because someone hasn’t been vaccinated.
We should not be demonising people who choose not to get a vaccination.
We should not be attacking people who want to protest and exercise their free speech.
We should not be putting army troops on the streets to patrol citizens.
We should not be condoning Premiers shutting down State borders and locking down cities and States down,
principally because it’s been found by peer reviewed studies that these lockdown measures don’t work.
We should not be restricting Australians who want to travel overseas.
We should not be allowing censorship of alternative viewpoints on this pandemic by ACMA,
big tech or anyone else.
We should not be discouraging alternative treatments such as Ivermectin when peer-reviewed
studies have found they have a level of efficacy.
We should not be mandating the wearing of masks which, up until this pandemic, didn’t stop viruses.
And finally we should not be perpetuating fear of a virus that has a survivability factor greater than 997 out of 1000.
Now I haven’t made any substantive arguments on these points, not because I can’t but because I
know whatever statistics or data I put forward will be dismissed as some crazy anti-vax stance.
I’m not anti-vax. I’m pro-freedom.
Liberal Party constitution talks about having an Australian nation dedicated to political liberty and
the freedom and dignity of man.
The Nationals constitution talks about fostering “the maintenance of …liberty” and “the least
possible intrusion into the lives of individuals”
The LNP constitution talks about “Freedom of conscience, freedom of religion, freedom of
expression and freedom of association as the building blocks of robust and fair society”
Liberty and freedom should be the core of this room and this nation while we govern it.
And they should not be done away because of a virus.
Again I say, we need IMMEDIATE freedom for all. Freedom of choice, freedom of movement and
freedom from fear.
I see my comments made to the government party
room yesterday about pandemic restrictions have
been leaked to the media. Just so I’m not verballed or
misquoted, here is pretty much word-for-word what I
actually said…
Notes were written quickly. Apologies for the typos.
