Mandatory COVID-19 vaccination for Qld police officers and nurses ruled unlawful

The Queensland Supreme Court has found mandatory COVID-19 vaccination for police officers and nurses was unlawful and in breach of their human rights. The ruling has been described as a huge legal victory for front-line workers who lost their jobs over their refusal to be vaccinated. Dozens of police officers and healthcare workers have been vindicated in a 115-page judgment. Justice Glenn Martin remarked dissatisfaction with the Police Commissioner lacking proper consideration for the human rights of her employees. 74 court cases were financed by billionaire Clive Palmer who called for celebration after the court’s decisions, calling it the “first precedent of the Western world”.
