Today the Senate had one last chance to support an inquiry into legislation to protect Australians from coercive jab mandates. They had the opportunity to support basic democratic principles and they failed.

Labor, The Greens, Griff, Patrick and Lambie have colluded again to silence and deny the Australian people any opportunity to be heard on their opposition to vaccine coercion. 

A petition signed by more than 200,000 Australians in just 22 days was tabled in support of a call to Parliament to pass legislation that will stop the COVID-19 vaccine discrimination which is dividing Australia and causing so much harm.  

There is no excuse for denying Australians this opportunity.

As Senator Hanson said today, “For the second time, they’ve colluded to prevent my legislation being referred to an inquiry and ultimately it’s the third time they’ve knocked back the bill.

“But while they’ve made every effort to silence us, what they cannot do is prevent the Australian people having their say at the next election. Ultimately, we are all accountable as elected lawmakers and the next election is the best opportunity for Australians to choose representatives who will stand for their rights.

“Those representatives who support these most fundamental rights will be standing for election as candidates for One Nation. I have absolute confidence in the Australian people to make the right choices for themselves, their families, their communities and their nation.”

In a Facebook post today, Pauline Hanson explains that she did her best to convince them to see reason, but her words fell on deaf ears.
