Senate Matters of Urgency - COVID-19
Channel: Australian Parliament Fan
Date: 2021-11-29

The matter for urgency in this video, as proposed by Senator the Honourable Penny Wong and moved by Senator Marielle Smith, was:

"The need for all Senators to share accurate information about the efficacy of COVID-19 based on official health advice; to combat disinformation campaigns that encourage vaccine hesitancy; to support government action based on health advice that seeks to reduce the risk of COVID-19, including the introduction of vaccine mandates by all State and Territory Governments; and to support the Prime Minister's comments on radio station 2GB in August 2021 that businesses have a 'legitimate' right to refuse entry to someone who had refused to get vaccinated."
