A group of anti-mandate protesters in Darwin have launched legal action in the Supreme Court against the current government directive, which requires the vast majority of Territorians to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or lose their jobs.

The action comes on the back of a Territory-wide vaccine mandate that went into effect in November and requires that any worker who comes into contact with members of the public in the course of their work had to receive their first COVID-19 jab by Nov. 12, with the second dose required by Dec. 24.
