Hundreds of protestors took the streets on Aug. 31 against a decision by the Queensland state government to dock the pay of unvaccinated teachers.

A week earlier, Education Queensland finalised disciplinary action against 900 teachers in the state (out of 54,000 educators) who will see their pay cut by $25 to $90 per week over an 18-week period.
