Thousands of sacked workers should be reinstated and compensated for loss of income, according to Federal Member for Dawson, George Christensen, who launched a petition on the issue this week.
Mr Christensen said real world data now proved mass sackings of unvaccinated workers were not justified.
“These workers lost their livelihoods for no justifiable reason and they should be immediately reinstated and compensated for lost income at the minimum,” he said.
“The rapid spread of Omicron through workplaces and the community cannot be blamed on the unvaccinated because the unvaccinated have been excluded from the workplace and excluded from polite society.
“We were told getting the jab would stop people getting the disease, stop them passing it on, stop them from going to hospital, and stop them from dying – but none of that was true.”
Mr Christensen added that he believed the State Government acted out of fear or a desire to coerce and control.
“They sacked or terminated thousands of nurses, doctors, hospital staff, teachers, and police officers who refused to comply with what turned out to be an unjustifiable order,” he said.
“Unfortunately, private enterprise has been emboldened by a widespread acceptance of tyranny and enacted their own punishing policies.”
Mr Christensen urged who he described as “freedom-loving Australians” to sign a petition at www.george.christensen.com.au/reinstate. More than 11,000 people already signed the petition over its first two days.
He said the State Premiers (and some private enterprises) had over-reached and should be held accountable for the negative impact they inflicted on innocent families.
“When you take away someone’s job, you take away their ability to pay the rent, pay a mortgage, and put food on the table,” he said.
“Some workers lost far more than a job – they lost their livelihood, their home, family, and (in the most extreme cases) their lives.
“The very, very least those Premiers and private enterprise CEOs can do is to order the immediate reinstatement of those workers and reimburse them for the loss of income incurred because of those ridiculous health orders.”
