A Fair Work Commission (FWC) deputy president who railed against vaccine mandates will be barred from hearing workplace vaccination matters and will be excluded from full bench work until she completes training.
Deputy president Lyndall Dean last month likened vaccination mandates to “medical apartheid and segregation” and said the concept is “the antithesis of our democratic way of life and everything we value”.

She made the remarks in a dissenting judgment in an unfair dismissal case involving a woman who was fired from her job at a nursing home for refusing to get a flu shot.
On Wednesday, it was revealed Ms Dean had also expressed support for a social media post that argued public-health measures implemented during the pandemic are akin to “Chinese-style totalitarian social control”.
In response to the LinkedIn post, which also suggested the world is on the brink of a catastrophe on par with the Holocaust, Ms Dean commented “I fully agree”.

FWC General Manager Murray Furlong told Senate Estimates on Wednesday that commission President Iain Ross had received a complaint in relation to Ms Dean.
“While the President does not have power to discipline members, he has certain powers to deal with complaints about members,” he said.
Mr Furlong said the President wrote to Ms Dean directing her to “attend training on responsibilities and standards of professional conduct expected of a member of the commission”.
“She will be excluded from all and any further full bench work at least until she’s completed that training,” Mr Furlong told Senate estimates.
“And she has disqualified herself on the grounds of bias from adjudicating disputes relating to workplace vaccinations in future.”
Mr Furlong said Industrial Relations Minister Michaelia Cash had also been informed of the steps taken in response to the complaint.
When asked by Labor senators about the social media post, Acting Attorney-General Amanda Stoker said she did not agree with it.
“It’s something I’ve seen for the first time now, it’s not a view I share,” she said.
Senator Tony Sheldon asked if she held concerns about the views being espoused by the commissioner.
“I don’t know what the full suite of Ms Dean’s behaviour has been like, and I think it would be it would be foolish to judge the entirety of a person’s contribution in light of one article,” Senator Stoker responded.
“But that said, I don’t agree with what she has posted, and it sounds like the procedure that has been put in place by the commission to manage any perception of bias arising from it is appropriate.”
Senator Cash announced Ms Dean’s appointment to the commission in 2016.
“She is highly regarded as a workplace relations lawyer and brings high level analytical, negotiation and conflict resolution skills to this role, as well as a demonstrated capacity for complex decision making,” she said in a statement at the time.
“I’m sure the skills and experience she will bring to the commission, including understanding the needs of small business, will assist the commission’s work to ensure Australia has fairer and more productive workplaces.”
Hope some medical diagnostic developers are working on an antiinvasive test to publicly test ALL politicians, health officials and business bigwigs who have claimed to have had the jab and have had saline water in lieu, a large group of Doctors in USA claim this is the case with 200 members of congress and have taken Ivermectin/zinc instead

WTF!!!! Australia is more far gone than anybody thinks! Mass idiocy or mass psychosis, it makes little difference to an ordinary Australian’s sad lot these days. 🙁
Quit. You’re rich enough unlike the vast majority of people whose workplace cases you preside over. You’ve feasted at the trough long enough. The FWC is just a club for mates.
Trouble is the Aust Gov is now owned by Pfizer as we have sold our soul like Israel, South American countries and countries around the world – we are toeing the Pfizer edits otherwise we won’t get their poison.
Also we were dumb enough to give them indemnity and we have to wear the costs of vaccine injury and death!
Pfizer is the head of Fauci’s and Gates’s snake and Black Rock and Vanguard etc are the body!
This is just the beginning! We will see more and more of this as their power grows.We are definitely becoming a communist country.When are we going to rise up and take it back? We have the numbers.
Too late, it’s on Public Record. The Qld Fairwork Commission ruled against compulsory jabs in the work place citing the lack the lack of efficacy of the jab and it’s grotesque side effects.
For the standard issue Communist Genocide, Mao and the Kai Feng leadership of the CCP bang the gong for the genocide sweepstakes. The Soviets and their Yiddish leadership comes in a close second at 60 million which is Solzhenitsyn’s figure. The gulags, organ harvesting combines, terror famines, totalitarian social control all follow en train.
Communism did not die. It metastasized. People should leave ‘Holocaust’ analogies out of this. The Communist Revolution (the permanent, world-wide Revolution) and its leadership has been the biggest genocide in human history. There is no comparison to it.
Australia is now undergoing a Communist Takedown and the standard issue genocide is in progress.
So it stands to (their) reason that any person on the commission who publicly condemns sexual harassment or bullying in the workplace will be disqualified from presiding over cases that are dealing with sexual harassment or bullying.
This smacks of the same treatment Justice James Staples received back in the 70’s when he was sitting in the arbitration court. He made a judgement about wide combs in shearing, which the establishment did not like, and was sidelined for his trouble, ultimately sent on a sabbatical leave to America for a year, when he returned “they”, had changed the court structure so that his position did not exist any more. They couldn’t sack him, so they made him surplus to requirements. So it’s nothing new, Corruption is what it is.
I wonder if President Xi Ross will send a main threat to his authority for re – education in Uyghur Land?
Of cause, to spy on close contacts, a compulsory QR Code will be needed for entry to her camp house.
I hear sterilisation and segregation from family is a good cure for attempting to uphold the cultural tradition of free speech.
Any pro-injection comments can also be considered as biased, with the commenter not fit for position if adjudicating or influential on such matters.
Let the social media and online comment hunt begin.

NOTHING must stand in the way of the Agenda! Especially not any analytical and critical thinking. It’s the last thing the pubic lice want from the public mice.
Her comments are the best I’ve read in two years. It seems this current crop of control freaks can’t stand to have such an intelligent person gainsay them.
