That's it, we are done!
In close we've discovered that none of the experts support the widespread mandates are still being in place & also none of them are advising the govt so the question becomes are the govt lying & covering up that they've made up their own 'health advice'?
In short yes mandates are coming off in some way. It should be done tomorrow but won't be because the govt are absolute dogs who set their internal vx mandate 'consultation' deadlines as the 13th of July in multiple dep'ts. What a coincidence! 🙄 bunch of absolute swamp donkeys.

Interesting that 2 days after a public hearing into mandates, where every single expert stated that at no point have they given this govt any health advice within the last 6 months & all think the mandates aren't justified, they get suddenly ripped off. That's some great science.
[Voice4Victoria] The specific wording that "enabled" the mandates has been removed. Explainer

EXPLAINER
The mandates were worded that 'for general workers, nobody can work outside the home unless double vaxxed'. This was a legal loophole to technically not actually ban people from working. The reality of which was obviously very different - this is just the technicalities of it & the wording has obviously confused people a bit with these changes.
They have now removed this. So you can be unvaxd & work outside home. This means any general worker can now go back to work unvaxxed. Hospo, retail, beauty, etc. This is literally thousands of people.
This is obviously subject to workplaces trying to set their own policies, which are also subject to normal FairWork rules & principles with all legal protections that government policy provided gone. Please note this is somethine private businesses would always have been able to try.
A number of industries have lifted the third dose & we are waitin on clarity if they need two or can be unvaxxed. Based on wording it looks as if there are ONLY those specific frontline industries keeping a booster mandate & all other vax mandates go. Waiting for confirmation on this.
Most succinct comment about the explainer:

Everything was purposefully written and verbally spoken of in a vague manner to get kneejerk reactions and wash their hands clean if legal issues arose.
Even collecting vax certs was never required according to written documents yet on the news and video pressers it was implied
Note: The Victorian state election is set to be held in November 2022.
they need to stop using Experts. Any time anyone ever comes up and says something based on what Experts say i now ignore everything they just said until they can answer the question: Can you prove it?
Agree. Who cares what an expert's opinion is? You use an expert because they should be able to easily and readily present the best evidence and arguments for whatever they are advocating. Then you make a decision based on the evidence and arguments NOT on what the expert's opinion is.
Opinion can be fine if it is substantiated with facts. Research experience, etc. There are many things that the common person won't have the knowledge or understanding of if given the formal research.
If you simplify the sophisticated things, you remove a lot of nuance. But the evidence should still accompany the opinion and it should be consistent with it.
And even then, studies often have bias that we may not catch on to. Especially when they're funded by an entity with interests hanging on the studies.
Global warming studies come to mind when some placed thermometers near hot surfaces to skew results.
Victoria is the California of Australia.
The levels of smug wokeness in Melbourne, the capital of Victoria, is off the charts.
I can't even visit Melbourne any more. I don't think Victorians will turf out the leftist Andrews government at the next election.
I think Victoria is completely lost and the only thing to do now is to wall it off from the rest of Australia and leave them to their crazy leftism.
Idk, the people there fell for brainwashing that they understood as reality; however, they too can wake up as many of us have. Many of us were born and raised in blue areas, not everyone is fortunate enough to have based neighbors, colleagues, family, and friends.
Suffering a bit will cause more to awaken. My uncle hated Trump and loved Obama. Had hopes for Biden and now realizes what a shitty place everyone is in and how his annuity is worth way less than it was.
yea everyone wakes up when it hurts their wallet...
"Who cares about paying a little more in tax for the betterment of all!"
gets first paycheck. Sees deductions
puts MAGA hat on.
Exactly…..there’s a reason they call it the “dream act” and “dreamers”
Should have always been up to employers, so that the ones dumb enough to do it would lose their workforce and go under.
It's a crime against humanity, the entire political class has to hang or face the firing squad.
This is the bottom line, nothing short will be sufficient.
I'm a full believer in the theory that different governments were simply tasked with experimenting on their respective populations to see how much they could get away with, how far would people allow themselves to be pushed. Where I live, in the province of Ontario, the government was set to have police conduct roadside stops to question citizens whether they were out on "essential" business only (i.e., health care, firefighter, building maintenance, etc). But the cops and the people wouldn't stand for it, and the govt backed off immediately. Other things, the people generally made no fuss about, and those things lasted for 2 years. Worldwide DS taking notes on all of it.
Victorians have been the bravest in this fight for freedom. Enjoy this remission and be prepared. love from the west
the people need to hold the people that run the government accountable.
Interesting that they chose 24/06/2022 (6/6/6).
Just like the Canucks! Experts also never told them to do that shit either lmao
"We never said you HAD to do anything..."
Vote them all out.
