On the Queensland Court Decision.
The Queensland supreme court decided a few days ago that the decision to impose vaccine mandates was unlawful, because the Health Commissioner had not considered the human rights impacts of her decision, and the legislation in Queensland’s state constitution says she should1.
Now, the other states in Australia do not have the same human rights requirements written into the state constitution, apart from ACT and Victoria (ironically, as it was one of the largest infringers upon human rights) (I think this will soon bite Victoria on the bum, actually, with all the lawsuits that are surely going to be filed)
But just because the other states do not have this requirement written into the constitution, this does not mean the impact of the vaccine mandates on human rights should not have been considered by those making these decisions in Western Australia, the Northern Territory, South Australia and Tasmania. Of course it should have. To suggest otherwise is ludicrous.
The only reason Queensland, ACT and Victoria have this legislation is because it is ethically and unquestionably right, good, necessary and proper for legislators and public officials to consider citizens’ human rights when making decisions.
