Liberal senator threatens own party with list of demands, goes head-to-head with Neil Breen
A Coalition member is creating a stir in Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s absence, threatening to defect if a list of demands isn’t met.
Queensland Senator Gerard Rennick penned five demands to Mr Morrison at the weekend around COVID-19 vaccination:
- A compensation scheme for victims of vaccine adverse events,
- The right for victims of adverse events to refuse a second vaccine,
- That no person should lose their job because they refuse to get vaccinated,
- That children do not need to have the vaccine, and
- All domestic travel restrictions regarding COVID should be repealed.
He claims he’s received substantial amounts of feedback from people who have had adverse reactions to the vaccine.
Gerard Rennick: “I’m not saying anything’s 100 per cent accurate, I can’t guarantee 100 per cent accuracy, but I’ve been swamped with correspondence from people who’ve experienced adverse events.
“It’s a bit unfair to say it’s a conspiracy theory –”
Neil Breen: “Well, these are the stats as given out by the federal government and the federal government agencies…
“So you’re questioning your own federal health department’s statistics by doing this.”
