Open Letter to all Legislative Councillors in Victoria
re: Public Health and Wellbeing Amendment (Pandemic Management) Bill 2021
5th November 2021
We of the Informed Medical Options Party represent thousands of Australians. Our large membership base and supporters in Victoria and all other states stand for the right to refuse or choose medication (including COVID-19 vaccines) without coercion, discrimination, bullying or punishment.
We are appalled at how this bill was rushed through the lower house seemingly for the purpose of gaining unbridled power. Where was the consultation with the public? Just as important, if not more so, where was the customary consultation with the Victorian Bar?
Christopher Blanden, QC, President of the Bar, has pointed out in a letter to its members [1] that the ‘consultation’ claimed by the Minister for Health amounted to a brief reference in a brief group meeting, and that the Bar was never provided with a draft of the Bill. In that same letter he went on to state that the Bar had grave concerns about some of the contents of the Bill.
In a separate, open letter, 14 other barristers (all but one a Queen’s Counsel) have also expressed their deep concerns about it..
