Yvette D'Ath insists she still feels safe in her ministerial role despite receiving death threats, saying she sees her role as extremely important and 'I love what I do'.

She praised Queenslanders for continuing to get the COVID jab, saying while the state had passed another 24 hours with no new cases there were 14,992 vaccinations delivered on Saturday.once the state reaches an 80 per cent double-dose vaccination rate."We've an amazing police service who do a terrific job in this state, and also nothing's going to stop me doing my job."I consider it a privilege and an honour to do my job and I'm just going to get on with it.

"I do think that people need to be very clear in their language to not be inciting or encouraging this kind of behaviour," she said.Police Minister Mark Ryan, who accompanied Ms D'Ath to the daily COVID media update, said there had been an "escalation in the intensity of threat". "There are a very small cohort of people I think who are trying to hijack quite legitimate protest activity," Mr Ryan said.In one video circulating online, a man could be heard saying "hang the b****" in reference to Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk.Mr Ryan said protest organisers had a responsibility to monitor the behaviour of those attending their events.

"You've also got a responsibility to the broader community to ensure those people who are attempting to hijack your democratic process don't use what you want to do for a lawful purpose, for something which could quite seriously escalate into something very concerning."Queensland's school vaccination blitz is continuing, with 100 schools hosting pop-up clinics this weekend.

These people are trying to keep everyone safe even those idiots that dont want to be safe.

When will ScottMorrisonMP do his job and speak out against the tyranny we are seeing around the country. Does he lack the courage or is he on side?

I can’t understand what she’s saying anyway

Sorry but Frank Farmer aka the bodyguard movie isn't available cause he don't do quarantine . I'm not sure if he does security for health ministers. I will call him ok. 😎

Don’t let a small number of stupid people intimidate you.

YvetteDAth I am terribly sorry to hear about this. You & your team have done an outstanding job keeping us safe, organising vaccines & providing information. There is no excuse for violence from anyone. Be well & safe.

What bunk !!!

Imagine if your family member died from HAVING to take a vaccine to keep their job - how would you feel? 690 dead now. I would not only threaten them, I would take physical action. This is the most UNJUST UNETHICAL CRIMINAL thing that has happened n our country EVER

Beautifull wheather today 😎

Google 'Died Suddenly'. Join Telegram, see the deaths! listen to scientists who are censored. No wonder these MP's are threatened. People have been MURDERED & livelihoods LOST. There WILL be civil war if this continues. Stop pushing an unsafe vax on us. Criminals in power here

YvetteDAth such a strong woman! 👏❤️

Support for all pollies & all other workers receiving anti-vax &/or anti-lockdown death threats &/or abuse ❤

The booster is a chance though

ABC managers who decide on scripts need to have a good look at the USA freeDUMB msgs they have trotted out. It’s a deadly virus that has killed millions & crippled ppl wth Long Covid. The ABC & Murdoch media helped whip up this frenzied ‘frustration’ by not condemning it strongly

Maybe those people sent the messages to the wrong phone no 🤷‍♀️

No she said she received thWeats

This is disgusting behaviour Why have the AusFedPolice not stepped in?

This has all the hallmarks of the Jan 6th attempt at a coup

MSMWatchdog2013 And get a look at the guy who's getting the jab but REALLY resents it. Wonder if he's an actual serving member of the armed forces?

Is that the 'Australian way' you refer to, ScottMorrisonMP?

That’s sad.

These politicians are sending death threats to the public, are you surprised with the return in kind?

Hmm, & Mz D'Ath has never ever told a porkie pie....

The insurance that saved my lifeFor me, writes Nicole Pedersen-McKinnon, having health insurance was priceless. It gave me the choice to immediately stop breast cancer in its tracks. ScottMorrisonMP Stop trying to privatise our Medicare auspoI insiders Private health insurance is way too expensive with premiums going up and out of pocket expenses. Not everyone can afford it so you’re very fortunate. BTW $10,000 is a lot of money The cancer treatment is part of a health system, the private insurance requirement means it isn't universal and we've prioritised making profits for corporations to serve a fraction of society over making it available for the utilitarian health of the population.
