Overview:

This decision is a watershed, the first domino to fall. If the mandates can not be justified for the Police and for Defence personnel then they can no longer be justified for ANY business or service.

After yesterday’s significant High Court judgment declaring the Ardern regime’s draconian vaccine mandates for Police and Defence Force personnel unlawful, there is now no legal reason to maintain the mandates.

We already know that there is no scientific reason to maintain mandates.

The judge was very clear, saying, “I conclude that the Order does not involve a reasonable limit on the applicants’ rights that can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society and that it is unlawful. There will be an order setting the Order aside.”

He also states that he is “not satisfied that the Crown has put forward sufficient evidence to justify the measures that have been imposed, even giving it some benefit of the doubt. The apparently low numbers of personnel the Order actually addresses, the lack of any evidence that they are materially lower than would have been the case had the internal policies been allowed to operate, and the evidence suggesting that the Omicron variant in particular breaks through any vaccination barrier means that I am not satisfied that there is a real threat to the continuity of these essential services that the Order materially addresses. If there is a threat to these services it will arise precisely because vaccination and other measures are not able to prevent the risk that Omicron will sweep through workforces.”

Make no mistake, this decision is a watershed, the first domino to fall. If the mandates can not be justified for the Police and for Defence personnel then they can no longer be justified for ANY business or service.

This is the beginning of the end of mandates, but the job is not done yet.

There will be ongoing implications for this unlawful mandate. Now that it has been found to be unlawful, the government finds itself in a legal quagmire, with sacked, suspended and jabbed staff who now have legal recourse to sue for any injury, physical, mental or financial harm. That is massive.

Private businesses will now be seeking legal advice too, as the implications roll through industry. There will be many staff who have suffered as a result of mandates who will now possibly have legal recourse against their employers. If the mandate was unlawful and could not be justified for Police then how on earth can they apply it to waiters, bar staff, fruit pickers or ANY other staff?

This is the beginning of the end of mandates. But until and unless this heartless regime utters the words that end them then the protesters will remain.

Hold the line. End Mandates Now.
