Summary
-
This case concerned an appeal of the respondent’s decision that the appellant contravened clause 5 of the Employment Direction 1/22 - COVID 19 Vaccination (‘the direction’), without reasonable excuse. The appellant advanced a number of arguments and made several comments that the Commission considered to be incorrect. Among these, the appellant claimed generally that, according to the Human Rights Act 2019 (Qld), the direction was unlawful. The Commission noted that the appellant had failed to consider the effect of s 13 of the Human Rights Act 2019 (Qld), and the extent to which human rights may be legitimately limited. The Commission declined to hear the appellant’s appeal against the respondent’s decision.
