Australian politician George Christensen MP has called for COVID-19 vaccine mandates to end while attending the “Convoy to Canberra” protests at the nation’s capital held in solidarity with the Canadian and U.S. truckers’ convoys.

In a video he live-streamed on Facebook, the conservative politician, oft maligned for his views on COVID-19 treatments, Big Tech censorship, and vaccine mandates, appeared in a crowd of thousands of diverse people outside Old Parliament House calling for an end to the “nonsense.”
