Australia’s Removal of Human Rights in Health Policy
Over the last decade, Australia, like many western countries, has fallen many points on the World Democracy Index.
We are now 0.85 points from being a flawed democracy. Nine years of Liberals from 2013 started the slide and Labor continued from 2022 onwards. Since 2001 this includes approximately 100+ new counterterrorism laws , many of which remove fundamental human rights from Australians. All whilst being signatories to, and having ratified, International Human Rights Covenants.
In January 2016 /17 the Australian government under a Liberal Prime Minister, implemented the No Jab No Pay /Play mandatory childhood vaccination program. This was both federal and state based Social Services legislation, and it included financial coercion for both doctors and parents to use all 15+ of the recommended vaccines on the childhood schedule.
Did you know that this policy was not supported in Health legislation when it was introduced in a Social Services policy in 2016? This means it has not been justified in health law, and hence it is an unlawful Social Services policy.
Coercion is a violation of the ethical principles upon which health policy is designed. This is because it is a source of stress that is a known cause of mental and physical illness. The No Jab No Pay/Play policy violates The International Covenant for Economic, Social, and Cultural (ICESC) Rights: Article 12. This upholds the right to physical and mental health. Coercion with a medical intervention breaches this right.
This legislation also violates the ethical guidelines for good medical practice designed by the Medical Board of Australia (MBA). These guidelines state that vaccines must be given with ‘fully informed consent without coercion, manipulation or pressure’ (Australian Immunisation Handbook Ed. 10).
The No Jab No Pay/Play Social Services legislation also discriminates against healthy children. This is a violation of Article 9 of the International Covenant on the Economic and Cultural and Social Rights (ICECSR):
Article 9 is the community’s right to non-discriminatory social welfare policies. The Right to Social Security includes the requirement that social security is ‘accessible (providing universal coverage, without discrimination and qualifying and withdrawal conditions that are lawful, reasonable proportionate and transparent.’
This policy was a political decision that removed the medical ethical guideline of doctors that requires them to obtain “informed consent, without coercion, manipulation or pressure,” before any vaccine is given. This policy presents a significant risk to human health and has destroyed the quality of life of thousands of Australians.
After 2016, instead of parents giving consent to a doctor to administer a drug/vaccine to their healthy child, a parent had to refuse the vaccines, and if you did refuse even one, you could not receive government welfare benefits (of up to ~$26,000 per child per year) or a place in childcare centres for children 0-5 years old.
This mandatory vaccination policy has removed fundamental freedoms from Australians and destroyed lives, without any justification in health policy or discussion with the Australian public.
This new legislation was presented to the public by Social Services Minister, Scott Morrison, under the guise of ‘Choices for Families’. When in fact, this government policy was removing choices for families. And discriminating against healthy children in an unjustified Social Services policy.
Vaccine Safety and Efficacy Facts:
Fact: 1. Childhood vaccines have never been tested for safety using a true inert placebo in the control group (Also See Point 4 in this summary pamphlet of how infectious diseases were controlled)
Vaccines are classified as ‘biologics’ and this has enabled them to be regulated with less scrutiny and less rigor, than other drugs that are approved for the market. Instead of using an inert placebo in the unvaccinated group in safety trials, scientists have used a previously tested vaccine or an adjuvant as the placebo, both of which are known to be active in the human body. That is, they react.
These substances are not suitable as placebos in safety trials. This is medical fraud. Vaccine manufacturers are describing these studies as ‘safety trials’ when a trial cannot prove safety without using an inert saline placebo.
Fact 2: The combined schedule of 15+ childhood vaccines, has never been proven safe in large clinical trials that compare the health of vaccinated children to unvaccinated children. This requires a trial of 5-10 years to prove safety because many of these diseases, (cancer, autoimmune and neurological diseases), come out months and years after the vaccine is given. Hence, the government’s claim that the childhood vaccination schedule is ‘safe’ is medical fraud.
Law Suit against the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) for Racketeering 2026
Currently, the American Academy of Pediatrics is being sued in the US courts because they have lied to the public about the claims of safety and efficacy of individual childhood vaccines, and of the cumulative effects of the combined schedule of 15+ vaccines.
Many independent studies have demonstrated the significant increase in chronic illnesses/death in vaccinated children versus unvaccinated children. Governments are ignoring this evidence and they are not funding the studies that would provide the hard evidence because they don’t want to make this conclusion. This is the undone science described in my PhD published in January 2016 on the University of Wollongong’s website.
Cancers, autoimmune and neurological diseases do not always show symptoms immediately after the injection. It can be months, or years after the exposure before the symptoms appear.
This is also linked to your genetics: some individuals will be more likely (predisposed) to get these diseases because of their genetics. But only if an environmental toxin acts on the gene to cause it to be expressed.
This is the very reason why no medication should ever be mandated in populations and this has been in doctors medical ethical guidelines for decades. It is clear that mandatory vaccination policies are political decisions that have been made by the medical-industry complex and not by independent doctors.
Here is my presentation from the Vaccination Conversation held in Canberra 28th May 2026 titled “The Reasons why ‘Mandatory’ Vaccination is Harming Human Health and is Unethical.”
Other Human Rights Removed in Mandatory Vaccination Policies
1. The Convention of the Rights of the Child: Article 24. The right to the highest attainable standard of healthcare, and measures to diminish infant and child mortality. This NJNP policy encourages the use of more vaccines that carry the risk of sickness, disability and death for many children, even though these vaccines were not responsible for removing the risk of infectious diseases in Australia by 1950.
2. The International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights: Article 9. This is the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. The use of the bullying term ‘antivaxxer’ is censoring the debate on the very real risk of vaccines and this is destroying human health. The argument of choice in vaccination is not an antivaccination argument, and the government needs to stop using this derogatory term that is preventing debate. It also needs to prevent the government-corporate medical regulator, AHPRH, from deregistering doctors that discuss the risks of vaccines with their patients and that abide by their ethical guidelines by providing true informed consent to their patients.
