A member of Parliament in the Australian state of Queensland has received over 2,000 inquiries in the last two weeks, including from nurses, miners, and even police officers, reaching out with concerns over mandatory vaccination policies.

George Christensen, the federal member for Dawson and fierce critic of mandatory vaccination, said his office received inquiries from individuals who said they could end up vacating their roles because of “no jab, no job” policies.
