Thank you very much. I haven't prepared a, a formal presentation of PowerPoint or anything like that today. Uh, and I know that we've run over time, but I just, I couldn't, uh, resist returning to history to stimulate by what Jewel was saying. No.
A year after Edmund Burke died, Edward Jetter, and if you've heard of, uh, vaccination, he was the founder of vaccination using smallpox, uh, cowpox rather to, to vaccinate against smallpox. He approached the Royal Society and he said, I have this wonderful idea. It's, it's called vaccination, or it became in time known as vaccination. And they thought, no, this idea is too fantastic. It's rubbish.
And they refused to hear him. You know, so this is not an argument between anti-vaxxers and the science. It's trademark the science, rather. This is an argument between, uh, or a debate, or rather a war of ideology between a new religion that's passing for a science and genuine science, which is by definition a debate.
It's a debate that is like a gladiatorial sport where nobody gets to sit like Caesar and say this or this. No, everybody has to enter into the arena and only one comes out alive.
You know, that's science. And 150 years after, after Edward Jenner approached, um, approached the, uh, royal society, we had, um, we had, uh, ing Herman Gering, and he was facing Nuremberg trials, of course, as you all know. And they asked him, they said, how did you get away with it?
You know, how did you sway so many of the German population? You know, it must be your authoritarian fascism. It couldn't happen in a, in a real democracy where everybody has a voice and who said, no voice and no voice. It doesn't matter. All you do is you convince the population that they're facing a great danger, and to not fight it on the terms of the authoritarians is to be unpatriotic. And that's how you get away with it.
And that's what we're doing now. We're fighting the great virus. And if you are not fighting it on the terms of the elites, you are unpatriotic, you're a granny killer. You are all these awful things. You're an anti-vaxxer. You're a right-wing conspiracy theorist. You are a domestic terrorist, and so on and so forth. Okay? Now, to enter, to, to address a gentleman's point about, uh, dare I say, you know, the very suggestion of incitement to some sort of rebellion I have.
Uh, where are we? Here we are a year at circa the same time, Nuremberg. There's this line. It is essential if man is not to be compelled to have recourse as a last resort to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law. Now, this wasn't something that was written by an American libertarian, the so-called framers or anybody like Thoreau, this is comes from none other than the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. I would put it to you. And this line was repeated in the Syracuse principles, which are that the limitations of delegations of human rights in states of emergency, where it states clearly you can only limit civil and political rights in, in times where the quote, the, there is a threat to the life of the nation.
I would say that our human rights are already being seriously violated. There is not a just application of rule of law in this country. And so the very fact that we maintain our pacifism is not an obligation upon us, but rather as a grace that we put upon the give to the state. You know, it's a kindness that we give to the state, that we are not doing something violent.
And that license is given to us by the United Nations themselves, who'd somewhat say is a bad, bad guy. Okay? Now, we fast forward to 2021. Now, the question is statistically whether we can trust the numbers.
It's 70% are fully vaccinated. I'd say to you, quite controversially, 0% are fully vaccinated. Why? Because in Israel, if you are double jabbed, you are unvaccinated because now they've gone to a third and fourth, and every one of our masters in Australia has expressed a sentiment that you will get regular boosters.
And so the definition of fully vaccinated is a function of time. And it's only a matter of time before those that have bent the knee and paid their protection money to their little protection racket before they swing around again and say, Hey, you know, yeah, come on. Yeah, you've gotta give us a payment because, okay. Um, and when I say masters, I have a latest quote from, uh, Daniel Andrews. What has he said?
Tweeter? I'm trying not to sound like comfort, some kind of soppy dad here, but I'm proud, bloody proud of this state. So you don't have to be a deep psychoanalyst to see that this is a guy who has a complex that sees himself as a parent and you as the child. Okay? So I, I said on my first talk that, um, I was facing the opera, the Australian Health Practitioner's Regulation Regulator authority on whether I should be suspended. My crime was, uh, being an ASIC listed director of an organization, uh, that is membered, you could say, by many hundreds of concerned doctors and has affiliates internationally. And the open letter explicitly said, we are not any vs.
But there needs to be the other side of the story that's freely heard by those who want to hear it, because of course, the freedom of speech depends, not just the, on the freedom of you to speak what you want to say, but the freedom for the one to listen. Who wants to hear?
It's a dyad, you know? So, uh, so I said it'd be a kind of a referendum on free speech for medical practitioners. So here's a little bit of an update. I, on the advice of a retired lawyer friend, I, uh, I challenged ARL said, before I attend the panel, please present me the evidence of what you take issue with in this letter. What is factually untrue?
What is, uh, what has incurred harm upon individual or individuals? Second question. Uh, given that we're a group of many, many hundreds, and we have affiliations with say, pan data and others, can you prove that I or any of the directors wrote a single word of the letter?
Question three, can you prove I or any one of the directors distributed a single copy of the letter that was allegedly harmful? And I might add, one of the complainants said that its harm was because it was distributed amongst a disadvantaged population, in Blacktown.
What that says to recapitulate on Daniel Andrew's sort of attitude is that some people are just too fragile, too vulnerable, and need to be shepherded by the elites, okay? They ignored all of my requests for evidence. And so my retired lawyer friend said they have no interest in following procedural fairness or otherwise called jurisprudential due process. They've already made up the decision. It's no point attending.
So I didn't attend, and they suspended me. I was the second medical practitioner to be, to be suspended indefinitely, uh, for how she, what Orwell would call sort of wrong thing, you know, and wrong speak. Uh, the first was an anesthetist in Sydney by the name of Paul Ster house.
He beat me to, to the punch of infamy just by a number of weeks. His Facebook posts sent me, he sent me things such as, you know, beware of a third wave of propaganda and a new strain of, pardon my French b******t. He also said, there is no science to back up anything the government is doing.
There's no evidence of the lockdowns mask mandates. There is evidence of vaccines having marginal or no effectiveness and real risk of harms. He then quoted Gert Vandenbosch, a celebrated Belgian vaccinologist with concerns.
It is these posts on social media that had him suspended in a show trial. And there are others coming down the line. I I have a surgical colleague in another state who simply got five signatures in a private hospital of colleagues who had an issue with the JAB mandate and sent it to a hospital executive.
This wasn't social media, this wasn't trying to, how shall I say, um, lead the masses astray. That's got him a day in his court that's coming up. So they, they mean business when they say that, that if you have a different opinion, they will go after you and they will go after you to the extent to which your, the conditions of your, how shall I say, the conditions of your suspension as such that, uh, you cannot work in a health related field either with patient contact, non-patient contact, administration, regulation, education. So when you are out, you're out. Okay? So we are gonna work on that. And one of the things we're doing is, uh, one of the things I've involved myself with is you might've heard of the Red Union Group.
Now the Red Union group is at the umbrella organization that was founded with predominant membership by Queensland Nurses, uh, the teacher, the Nursing Professional Association of Queensland. It's since expanded nationwide, both with respect to nurses and other, other, uh, professional groups, including the Australian Medical Professionals Society, which has grown from zero to 400 members in a few weeks.
We're still way behind, but we can say with the second largest medical in the country, the otherwise being the a m a that has about 20,000. That's out of 110,000 medical practitioners. So we're still well and truly in, in, um, the minority, but we're new, uh, good news and bad news.
We've lost a challenge with the police because there's also a sworn officers union that started up, which was, which at its moment can be joined by police and emergency services.
But, um, we've bought ourselves some time in an injunction in with Monash Health down in Victoria, uh, so that they are forced to do a mandatory workplace health and safety assessment on the vaccine that incidentally is part of the felt fair work, acts across the, the country. And almost no organization has done that, even though that is part of the process. They just think that if the dict out of the state is you must be jabbed at that is wholly writ and then all other due processes not necessary.
So there are, there are victories and losses. Um, we, we shall see, uh, what else can I tell you? Well, but it's not all about, it's not all about using the union as a vehicle for legal action. Um, the numbers are a message and the more people we can get who are professional nurses, professional drivers, including pilots, sworn officers, miscellaneous, the, uh, the, the medical side of things, the more people we can get, the more people are a message. There's been a sort of a, a back off of, or of,
I'm told of the teachers, um, man, uh, mandate in Queensland as a result simply of the standard teachers union losing members to us. Yeah. So, so, yeah. But it'll, it'll all come down to civil disobedience and the legal front and the election next year, and we'll see so many thanks.
Thank you, Robert.
