Unvaccinated members of Western Australia’s (WA) Police force have narrowly avoided disciplinary action with a court hearing forcing the state’s police commissioner to temporarily halt the dismissal of unvaccinated WA police officers and staff.

One member of the state’s solicitor’s office was also required to leave the courtroom to call police management and halt the sacking of an unvaccinated staff member who was in the middle of being fired the same day, on Dec. 16.
