Outspoken independent senator Jacqui Lambie has told the Prime Minister to stop inciting division and allowing “un-Australian behaviour”, as the government is thrown into chaos over mandatory vaccinations.
Senator Lambie gave a powerful speech in response to One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, who introduced a bill to ban mandatory vaccinations and overturn state and territory leader’s requirements for full vaccination to be required in some settings.
The bill failed to pass despite five coalition senators crossing the floor, after
Senator Lambie told unvaccinated Australians to be a “Goddamn bloody adult” and put others before themselves.
Senator Lambie re-affirmed her stance on Tuesday, saying governments keeping unvaccinated people away from businesses was not discrimination.
“You have a choice. If you don’t want to be vaccinated, you have that choice, but we have people in aged care and we can make sure that they stay safe and our choice is that we want those people in there and working around them to be vaccinated,” she told Sunrise.
