‘They lied!’: Vaccine mandates for Queensland police and ambulance ruled ‘unlawful’
Covid vaccine mandates for Queensland police and ambulance workers were “unlawful”, the state’s supreme court has found in a bombshell decision.
ovid vaccine mandates for Queensland police and ambulance workers were “unlawful”, the state’s supreme court has found, with the bombshell ruling tipped to spark a wave of similar challenges.
Judge Glenn Martin on Tuesday ruled that Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll’s December 2021 order was “unlawful” under the Human Rights Act, and that Queensland Health Director-General John Wakefield’s vaccination requirement policy was “of no effect”.
The landmark decision resolved three separate lawsuits brought by 74 police officers, civilian staff and paramedics against the Queensland Police Service and Queensland Health for Covid vaccination mandates issued in 2021 and 2022.
The Police Commissioner and Director-General have been prevented from taking any further steps to enforce the orders, or from taking disciplinary actions against the applicants based on the failure to comply with the mandates.
“I have held that the Commissioner, in making the decisions the subject of contention, failed to give proper consideration to human rights relevant to those decisions,” Justice Martin said in his
115-page decision.
“As a result, those decisions were unlawful. Similarly, I have held that Dr Wakefield has not established that the direction he made is a term of the employment of the (Queensland Ambulance Service) applicants.”
In the case of Queensland Police, Justice Martin said there was “broad statutory power” to make directions which the Commissioner “considers necessary or convenient for the efficient and proper functioning of the police service” — but that such power was “not unlimited”.
