**Dear Committee Secretary,**
**Re: Public Health and Other Legislation (Extension of Expiring Provisions) Amendment Bill 2022**
I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed Bill and to the continued extension of the state of emergency.
As a concerned Australian citizen, I believe it is important to voice my views on this matter. While I strongly support vaccination as an effective public health measure and consider myself pro-vaccination, I also believe that individuals should have the freedom to make their own informed medical decisions. I am concerned that mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policies interfere with existing rights, freedoms, and legal protections available to Australians.
The principle of informed consent is reflected in the Nuremberg Code, which emphasizes that participation in any medical intervention should be voluntary and free from coercion, pressure, deception, or any form of undue influence. Individuals should be fully informed and able to make decisions independently.
Similarly, the Australian Government's Consumer Guide to Clinical Trials states that no person should ever feel pressured into participating in a clinical trial. At the time, COVID-19 vaccines had provisional approval from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), leading some people to question whether additional consent requirements should apply.
I also note that COVID-19 generally presents a lower risk for younger and otherwise healthy individuals than for older adults or those with underlying health conditions. Many people recover without requiring significant medical treatment. Given concerns expressed by some members of the public about possible side effects and uncertainty regarding long-term outcomes, it is understandable that some individuals may be hesitant about vaccination.
In my view, preventing people from working because they choose not to be vaccinated raises important ethical and legal questions. I believe employment restrictions based on vaccination status are not the most appropriate way to protect public health and may unnecessarily limit individual rights and freedoms. Policies such as "no jab, no job" are, in my opinion, overly coercive.
I respectfully ask the Committee to reconsider these mandates and the proposed extension of the state of emergency.
Thank you for considering my submission.
Kind regards,
Rafe Whitaker

**Dear Committee Secretary,**
**Re: Public Health and Other Legislation (Extension of Expiring Provisions) Amendment Bill 2022**
I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed Bill and to the continued extension of the state of emergency.
As a concerned Australian citizen, I believe it is important to voice my views on this matter. While I strongly support vaccination as an effective public health measure and consider myself pro-vaccination, I also believe that individuals should have the freedom to make their own informed medical decisions. I am concerned that mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policies interfere with existing rights, freedoms, and legal protections available to Australians.
The principle of informed consent is reflected in the Nuremberg Code, which emphasizes that participation in any medical intervention should be voluntary and free from coercion, pressure, deception, or any form of undue influence. Individuals should be fully informed and able to make decisions independently.
Similarly, the Australian Government's Consumer Guide to Clinical Trials states that no person should ever feel pressured into participating in a clinical trial. At the time, COVID-19 vaccines had provisional approval from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), leading some people to question whether additional consent requirements should apply.
I also note that COVID-19 generally presents a lower risk for younger and otherwise healthy individuals than for older adults or those with underlying health conditions. Many people recover without requiring significant medical treatment. Given concerns expressed by some members of the public about possible side effects and uncertainty regarding long-term outcomes, it is understandable that some individuals may be hesitant about vaccination.
In my view, preventing people from working because they choose not to be vaccinated raises important ethical and legal questions. I believe employment restrictions based on vaccination status are not the most appropriate way to protect public health and may unnecessarily limit individual rights and freedoms. Policies such as "no jab, no job" are, in my opinion, overly coercive.
I respectfully ask the Committee to reconsider these mandates and the proposed extension of the state of emergency.
Thank you for considering my submission.

**Re: Public Health and Other Legislation (Extension of Expiring Provisions) Amendment Bill 2022**
I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed Bill and to the continued extension of the state of emergency.
As a concerned Australian citizen, I believe it is important to voice my views on this matter. While I strongly support vaccination as an effective public health measure and consider myself pro-vaccination, I also believe that individuals should have the freedom to make their own informed medical decisions. I am concerned that mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policies interfere with existing rights, freedoms, and legal protections available to Australians.
The principle of informed consent is reflected in the Nuremberg Code, which emphasizes that participation in any medical intervention should be voluntary and free from coercion, pressure, deception, or any form of undue influence. Individuals should be fully informed and able to make decisions independently.
Similarly, the Australian Government's Consumer Guide to Clinical Trials states that no person should ever feel pressured into participating in a clinical trial. At the time, COVID-19 vaccines had provisional approval from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), leading some people to question whether additional consent requirements should apply.
I also note that COVID-19 generally presents a lower risk for younger and otherwise healthy individuals than for older adults or those with underlying health conditions. Many people recover without requiring significant medical treatment. Given concerns expressed by some members of the public about possible side effects and uncertainty regarding long-term outcomes, it is understandable that some individuals may be hesitant about vaccination.
In my view, preventing people from working because they choose not to be vaccinated raises important ethical and legal questions. I believe employment restrictions based on vaccination status are not the most appropriate way to protect public health and may unnecessarily limit individual rights and freedoms. Policies such as "no jab, no job" are, in my opinion, overly coercive.
I respectfully ask the Committee to reconsider these mandates and the proposed extension of the state of emergency.
Thank you for considering my submission.
Kind regards,
Rafe Whitaker

**Dear Committee Secretary,**
**Re: Public Health and Other Legislation (Extension of Expiring Provisions) Amendment Bill 2022**
I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed Bill and to the continued extension of the state of emergency.
As a concerned Australian citizen, I believe it is important to voice my views on this matter. While I strongly support vaccination as an effective public health measure and consider myself pro-vaccination, I also believe that individuals should have the freedom to make their own informed medical decisions. I am concerned that mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policies interfere with existing rights, freedoms, and legal protections available to Australians.
The principle of informed consent is reflected in the Nuremberg Code, which emphasizes that participation in any medical intervention should be voluntary and free from coercion, pressure, deception, or any form of undue influence. Individuals should be fully informed and able to make decisions independently.
Similarly, the Australian Government's Consumer Guide to Clinical Trials states that no person should ever feel pressured into participating in a clinical trial. At the time, COVID-19 vaccines had provisional approval from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), leading some people to question whether additional consent requirements should apply.
I also note that COVID-19 generally presents a lower risk for younger and otherwise healthy individuals than for older adults or those with underlying health conditions. Many people recover without requiring significant medical treatment. Given concerns expressed by some members of the public about possible side effects and uncertainty regarding long-term outcomes, it is understandable that some individuals may be hesitant about vaccination.
In my view, preventing people from working because they choose not to be vaccinated raises important ethical and legal questions. I believe employment restrictions based on vaccination status are not the most appropriate way to protect public health and may unnecessarily limit individual rights and freedoms. Policies such as "no jab, no job" are, in my opinion, overly coercive.
I respectfully ask the Committee to reconsider these mandates and the proposed extension of the state of emergency.
Thank you for considering my submission.
