Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Finance, Minister for Women, Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:36): I thank Senator Roberts for the question. I am aware of that court case which has been recently handed down in relation to vaccination for police and ambulance workers in Queensland. This is a decision of a Queensland court that relates to a vaccine mandate that was a decision of the Queensland government. The government's position on COVID-19 vaccinations is that they are voluntary, as are all vaccinations in Australia, although we do encourage vaccination and aim to have as many people vaccinated as possible. I would say that there is no doubt of the success of the vaccination program in Australia, and the number of Australians who got vaccinated, particularly in those early waves, protected millions of vulnerable Australians, including Australians in aged care, Australians who had a disability and immunocompromised Australians, who were protected— Senator Rennick interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Rennick! Senator GALLAGHER: by the fact that we were able to manage— The PRESIDENT: Minister, please resume your seat. Senator Rennick, I have called you to order, and you continue to shout out. This is not your question. It's Senator Roberts's question, and the minister has the right to be heard in silence. Minister, please continue. Senator Rennick interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Minister, please resume your seat. Senator Rennick, I have just called you to order, and you continue to completely disrespect me and not follow my direction. Minister Gallagher, please continue. Senator GALLAGHER: The public health advice on vaccinations remains very clear. That advice is that vaccinations prevent seriousness of disease—the level of illness that you get—and it prevents hospitalisations, which allows our health system to deal with other health issues, as it's always meant to. Vaccination protects people from serious disease and death. So, from the government's point of view, if you're due for your COVID-19 booster, go and get it, but it is voluntary and, obviously, people will make that decision for themselves. I would also say that, when state governments were having to deal with maintaining services and protecting employees in a pandemic—in an emergency—they made some very, very difficult decisions to protect their communities. National Cabinet supported that, and we support that. The PRESIDENT: Senator Roberts, first supplementary?
