She also rejected Mr Larter's bid for exemption on religious grounds, saying it wouldn't matter what belief system a person followed Mr Larter, who has worked as paramedic for 25 years and is also the Deputy Mayor of the Snowy Valleys Council, also sought an exemption from vaccination on religious grounds.Mr Larter found the vaccine mandate "morally repugnant"In handing down her findings Justice Christine Adamson said the public health order in its original form was reasonable, saying it was to remove the increased risk of transmission posed by unvaccinated NSW Health workers.

Someone should also audit the$250K raised & if any spent on election funding. So much smoke here!

Why is the media not flagging that he is also on local council & currently running for re-election. I think very important to the story & his (hidden) agenda. Also dont councillors have to be vaccinated?

He’s dealing with sick people!

His next career opportunity is MP for the new BS party. The Belligerent Selfish party. Likely other recruits: Craig Kelly, Clive Palmer, Pauline Hanson ...

Why do i get the feeling these people are more about getting a media profile and notoriety than real antivax sentiment.

Information needs to take a leaf out of misinformation’s book. Get out and blast it everywhere…. constantly. Old mate may just have been sucked in by the wrong website.

Can the media PLEASE stop giving this TINY minority of people attention. Let’s just ignore them and move on. They can carry on their useless crusade on telegram. While the majority of us are vaccinated and won’t cause our community to get sick and overwhelm hospitals

Plenty of people out there that would love a paramedic job. Off you go buddy clearly this job isn’t the best fit for you!

It's telling how so many health care workers are wary of the clot shot, but all the twatter lefty experts are blindly following what huge, corrupt, global pharma tells them to do.

SnowyValleysC should look at his position on council? Do you want an anti vaxxer as Deputy Mayor?

Is this even legal? His case was dismissed and he is still receiving donations as we speak.

Good

I wonder if he’s had his category A mandatory HBV vaccine. Or is that not against his LNP religious beliefs, but COVID vaccine is? Bravo judge. Call out this political nonsense.

I'm a Roman Catholic and that makes me better than everyone else, god dammit. Gimme my god damn elevated privileges, stat!

I find his stance to be 'morally repugnant'

As a health care worker he is completely unsuitable for the profession and needs to find a new line of work immediately. I wouldn't want to find him attending an ambulance I had called in an emergency.

The only thing that’s morally repugnant is a so-called HCW prepared to risk the health and safety of people he’s charged to care with for some insane political stance. If he doesn’t want to protect his charges he can go.

Y'know, if you cross the wires, your indicators will say you're going one way when you go the opposite. Not a recipe for survival I'd say. I wonder how many of these 'freedom lovers' draw their inspiration from their religion? democracynow

Wow! You’d think that one wouldn’t tie their name to a stand that undermines the very meaning of their job, to medically assist. Misconstrued Values can redirect the intelligent to stupidity- he’s an example.

Good on you, standing up to what is right.

Good, another anti-vax nuffie gets a reality check. 👍

Unlucky

Good. As it should be. His reasoning was absolute bullshit.

Thank goodness for a common sense decision

Good court ruling 👍 win for society. First Tennant of any religion is do no harm.

ItsBouquet Good

How can someone they had some medical knowledge even think this. Maybe he should take my brothers place who spent over 100 days in ICU ? Still in hospital since the 1st July. We just need some of these idiots to experience it

Lol

lol love it. Who the hell do these people think they are FFS.

How is it that the government can force people to get this stupid vaccine? It should be up to the people if they want to get it or not.

Is this a joke?

Sanity prevails

elee_bella Love how they carry on like vaccine requirements for a job are a new thing?

His next job will be working glory holes 🕳 🍆

Fair enough

Good these people should not be working in Health

Did you have the usual childhood vaccinations? What’s the difference?

Fantastic news.

Oh well see ya

I disagree with his position totally. But I believe everybody has the right to go to court to defend their rights and try and make make their case without being bankrupt. The judge hasn't made a decision recourse but it could bankrupt normal people auspol

Morally repugnant. Oh please🙄🙄🙄 Morally repugnant is refugees locked up for 8 years with no end in sight. A family in Perth held hostage because their 4 year old wasn’t granted residency.

Holy crap, literally. What psalm, chapter verse prevents this twit from being vaccinated? Doesn't he realise his god made the vaccine to fight the devils work, covid?

Morally repugnant? Is he talking about those in front line healthcare who don’t get vaccinated, if so then good. They don’t belong in that profession.

LyndaFrench19 Never heard a Catholic using the religion to Anti Vacc before.

Good news, because it's morally repugnant for any HCW to not be vaccinated. If mandating vaccines is what it takes to remove those sociopaths from the community, then mandates will have to stay.

I wonder if he has to be double vaccd for the next Snowy Valleys council meeting, Deputy Major & all 😷

It's morally repugnant for him as a Catholic to get vaccinated. But is still cool with being associated with an organisation that has a history of perpetrating and protecting Sex offenders.

Religious grounds. How dare he. I’m sure Jesus wouldn’t agree with him.

I find someone who won't get vaccinated to be morally repugnant

Good riddance to a self-indulgent man child playing paramedic ... Honestly, if I'm in a car crash, I don't want to have to be wondering whether the paramedic has been vaccinated for a whole swathe of infectious illnesses

A healthcare worker cant roll up to their job after a big night on the grog or on the drugs - he doesn't have an argument at all.

Wrong career choice mate!

'sought an exemption from vaccination on religious grounds' why do we never hear what those 'religious grounds' are. almost as if people use religion to hide them just not wanting to do the right thing (eg. using religion to discriminate)

Anti vaxxers getting triggered again. So funny to watch with the typically boring responses.

Another waste of time and our legal system - hopefully the costs will deter others. In healthcare especially - No jab = no job

Good

Seems to be a lot of bible bashers against the Jab

What a sook.

I always think it would be morally repugnant for a paramedic to show up to help a very sick person & possibly infect them with a deadly disease. But that’s just me.

Not a vaccine .It is a gene altering experimental therapy . What will happen to your immune system in 5 years time? Anybody tell you before you got jabbed? Chances are , you wont have an immune system anymore . Good luck with that .

imagine if I (a food worker) decided I didnt want to have to wash my hands anymore because 'its MY body' and 'THE GOVERNMENT cant tell me what to do with it' imagine if i decided to yell about it in court & sue my workplace for requiring it. that's what these bitches look like.

Aren’t paramedics required to get other vaccines? Flu shot, MMR etc? He’s been cooked by conspiracy bullshit. He should find another vocation if he’s not interested in caring for the people he’s trained and paid to protect 😤

How can you work as a paramedic if you don't believe in the evidence? Doesn't make sense.

She told him ' He's DREAMING'

Dr Katherine O’Brien of the Who for people who think vaccination doesn't help with reducing transmission

MSMWatchdog2013 Now that is a surpise; it is he who has morally repugnant (selfish, self centred) values

Dont these wankers get it! Those of us who r vaxxed r much better protected from the virus than them. THEY will be the ones dragging down the rest of us. THEY will be the 1s getting sicker & clogging up the healthcare services. Oh. ABTW. He would have 2 have vaxxes anyway

lel

With every company, organisation, or government agency required to have a duty of care I would have thought the outcome predictable

Thank goodness, sanity prevailed

Great news. Another selfish recalcitrant breathe dust Lets hope his finances get decimated by legal costs made worse by the fact he will have no job to pay them. Love it!

You’re free to risk yourself anytime of the day, but you are definitely not free to infect others

It's a pandemic. They work in treating injured and vulnerable people in crisis. This isn't rocket science. Don't want to do what they need to do to be safe to help others, don't do that job.

Good.

Good result.

Concerning vax views of addicts revealedA medical research group has urged the government to improve access to vaccine information after it was revealed more than a fifth of Melburnians who inject drugs don’t want the Covid-19 jab because of “safety concerns”. Now this says it all, will to inject themselves with something that can kill them potentially, and wouldn't even be sure whats in it, yet won't have the vaccine. I rest my case, this shows you how dumb some anti vaxers are
