Summary
-
This matter concerned an application for a review of a decision by the respondent to refuse an exemption from COVID-19 Vaccination requirements requested by the applicant. The applicant referred to their right to protection from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment (s 17), specifically s 17(c) regarding being subjected to medical or scientific experimentation or treatment without the person’s full, free and informed consent under the Human Rights Act 2019 (Qld): at [31]. The Commission held that refusing the applicant’s exemption did not compel them to be vaccinated, thus not breaching s 17 of the Human Rights Act 2019 (Qld), and that the respondent had reasonably considered the applicant’s human rights: at [31], [32]. Thus, the appeal was dismissed: at [40].
