Fact check: Western Australia has legalised forced vaccinations
On a plain English reading of the bill and the explanatory memoranda, they haven't, but then again, they have ignored other legislation grievously in the past.
It has been said in various forums that Western Australia has legalised forced vaccinations in their renewal of their emergency powers for two years, which would come into effect in the case of a new COVID-19 emergency.
On a plain English reading of the bill and the explanatory memoranda, they haven't legalised forced vaccinations, but then again, they have ignored the plain English reading of other legislation grievously in the recent past.
This is the section of the bill people are talking about, the Emergency Management Amendment (Temporary COVID-19 Provisions) Bill 2022. It may be found on the parliament.wa.gov.au webpage with a simple search.
These provisions are bad enough and are in fact unethical: “has been exposed, or any class of person who may have been exposed” is certainly extending the power of quarantine beyond the moral standard for allowable quarantine, which is, essentially, “definitely infected with”, see Leviticus chapters 13-14 in the Bible.
The explanatory memoranda introduced to parliament to explain the bill, and which subsequently is useful for statutory interpretation, explicitly mentions personal protective equipment, mask wearing, hygiene protocol and physical distancing.
It doesn’t mention vaccination. On the plain English reading of the explanatory memoranda, it would be hard to read Section 77N as allowing forced vaccination, since vaccination is certainly a step beyond all of those other provisions.
This is the relevant section of the explanatory memorandum:
However, our State Government has in the past year and a half ignored the plain reading of the AUSTRALIAN HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION ACT 1986, which says, no one shall be be subjected without his free consent to medical or scientific experimentation.
I think it is clearly apparent that free consent does not include being fired from your job for three to six months unless you take an experimental medication:
Can Western Australians trust a government that imposed mandates that clearly contradicted the plain English reading of the Federal 1986 Human Rights Commission Act, to keep to the plain English reading of their own Covid-19 emergency powers act?
Fucking faggot government
