Hi Tom

There is no time to waste… we must act NOW!
Scott Morrison has announced this week that vaccine passports may be required to travel interstate. This means to travel within our own country!

See Channel 9 article here.

Craig Kelly and George Christensen have announced they will be introducing a Bill into Parliament to ensure this never becomes our reality.

We have built an emailing tool for you to EASILY email your local MPs and tell them what you think about Vaccine Passports.

Here are 4 simple steps how you can participate;

Start a new email.

Copy all the email addresses below and paste them into the BCC of your email so they can all be emailed in one go (this includes your Sydney MP and the Senators for your state) (If you live in a different electorate to me you will need to alter these addressees.)

Tanya.Plibersek.mp@aph.gov.au; senator.faruqi@aph.gov.au; Senator.Ayres@aph.gov.au; senator.keneally@aph.gov.au; jennifer.mcallister@aph.gov.au; senator.o’neill@aph.gov.au; senator.sheldon@aph.gov.au; andrew@andrewbragg.com; senator.fierravanti-wells@aph.gov.au; Hollie.hughes@nswliberal.org.au; senator.molan@aph.gov.au; senator.payne@aph.gov.au; senator.davey@aph.gov.au

Copy all of the sample email below into the body of your email (edit it how you like)

My name is Tom Grimshaw. I live in Sydney electorate.

I am one of your constituents so I hope my voice matters to you. Federal elections are coming up soon and as your constituent, I will be keeping a close eye on your contributions to our electorate over the coming months.

I anticipate a timely response to this email.

I only have one simple question…

When Craig Kelly and George Christensen bring the ‘No Domestic COVID Vaccine Passports Bill 2021’ to Federal Parliament soon, will you be supporting or rejecting it?

On Wednesday 19th May, Scott Morrison said in a channel 9 interview that ‘Australians could need vaccination passports to travel interstate’.

This violates at least two provisions of our Australian Constitution. Section 51 xxiia prohibits medical civil conscription and Section 117 says
“A subject of the Queen, resident in any State, shall not be subject in any other State to any disability or discrimination which would not be equally applicable to him if he were a subject of the Queen resident in such other State.” Disallowing entry to and travel within another state is a discrimination that would not apply within the resident’s own state.

I have met people who don’t want to get the COVID vaccine for legitimate reasons. Reasons like; their age-bracket is not at risk of COVID, they’ve had relatives here and overseas who’ve had terrible adverse reactions, they’re scared of blood clots, they’re very healthy and trust their immune system, religious reasons, they’re scared of needles etc.

Even if I decided to get the COVID vaccine, I wholeheartedly disagree with restricting travel of others who don’t want to get it. It should be the individual’s choice.

Scott Morrison assured us this vaccine would be VOLUNTARY. Banning freedom of movement for unvaccinated citizens seems inconsistent with that.

The freedom and future of our country depends on YOUR decision. Our fate is in YOUR hands. I hope that you do the right thing and protect our freedom of movement.

I appreciate your time in responding to my question.

Kind Regards,
Tom
