@_davidlimbrick in his motion speech requesting the docs behind the vax mandate, particularly how the decision stacked up against our human rights charter.

Shing once again getting thrown in as the govts mouthpiece. Talks about how it isn't about what he asked for, but how he asked. Accuses him of trying to "mount a case against" the public health advice

Shing talks about their response needing to be "dexterous and nimble". Yes because a smashed widespread mandate just reeks of a "dexterous and nimble" approach.

Sweet jesus she just referred to Weimar as an "expert". Expert in what? Reading off a page?

David Davis now up for the Libs, who are supporting the motion, who opened up by throwing his f**ks to the wind & just calling out the govt for the fact they ALWAYS use the exact same delay & hide tactics. Mentions that many docs have been requested that are never provided.

Catherine Cumming up now. "Having a job means you're able to provide food and shelter, which are fundamental to people's health". "Why is the govt refusing to treat people like adults?".

Catherine pointing out that the Public Health & Wellbeing Act, which gives Sutton his powers, that one of the written objectives of the Act is to reduce inequality. Also that decisions should be 'based on evidence'. Unsure if to laugh or cry at that.

They're having a dinner break. Resumes at 630. You can watch live here, just select "council"

Nina Taylor about having a public breakdown/ fit 😐

Even by her Parl standards, that was pretty unhinged. We are back at "the directions are the health advice". 🙄

Quilty "the govt represents the people, they have a right to know how they're making decisions". I can't believe we're actually having to debate this.

Lol imagine getting up in the most locked down city in the world and saying "this has affected everyone". What a joke 😂

Crozier making the very obvious point that it isn't like the govt hasn't had time to prepare hospitals or just about anything else for that matter.

If one more of these dropkick MPs uses the words conspiracy theory in relation to the health advice

The motion requesting the tabling of the advice behind the vx mandates has PASSED in the Upper House. It's done. The govt is now meant to produce them. Let's see if they do, or violate everything our democratic system is meant to stand for.

Final day of the NSW Supreme Court Case. Watch live here:

FYI they appear to be having technical issues with the livestream.

We are back and rolling. Commonwealth rep barrister Davidson now has the chance to respond (like Kirk did for NSW govt yesterday). King is the only case that's issued a Commonwealth challenge, so that's why she's only responding to his arguments.

5 Oct

A discussion 🧵 on govt mandates, employees & business owners. Note that this is VIC specific.

First up, this is the published mandates, which are No.5.

Technically speaking the wider mandate for 'all authorised workers' is NOT currently in place. There is nothing signed off. This happened with construction, they only passed the mandate at the 11th hour (literally).

The fact it isn't in right place now leaves a big legal ? for any biz demanding vx status or firing employees with no legal mandate there. What most biz owners also aren't being told is even if there's a mandate, it may not protect them from federal law obligations to employees.

VIC SC directions hearing kicks off.
Watch live here: vimeo.com/event/1345835

@VEOHRC

Kicks off with the judge mentioning that her chamber received a letter from @VEOHRC this morning about if they should intervene on the basis of human rights. That's interesting.

Govt rep Fitzgerald corrects that the directions got updated, we're now at number 5 signed off by A/CHO Cowie, even though 5 is the same words as 4.. that's an interesting side note.
Docs will now be updated to include Cowie as a defendent to ensure they're accurate.

Final day of the NSW Supreme Court case against the mandates starting now.

Watch live here:

From the judge this morning "rest assured I'm not going to write a judgement without mentioning the fact that the orders have been repealed". That's a yikes for the govt side.

Harkness & Clarke off to a nicely cohesive start, laying out which of them will address each of the arguments (there's 6 grounds total) put forward in their case and why.

@therealrukshan

Group of protesters wandering around the city, @therealrukshan is now live. Unsure of location? Media contingent following them around & apparently cops trying to follow. Nice to see one of the attendees checking on Dowsley's head in the live haha

They're at the Tan, same location the impromptu Melbourne footy celebrations last week. Far less people there than at that event. Cops are starting to gather in large numbers now.
