Queensland teachers docked 18 weeks of pay for refusing COVID-19 vaccination. By Miriah Davis in August 2022.

Hundreds of unvaccinated teachers in Queensland will have up to 18 weeks of their pay docked as a disciplinary measure for refusing the COVID-19 jab.

The decision was announced in a letter penned by Education Department Assistant Director General Anne Crowley which was emailed to staff on Monday. …

The Department said it had “lost trust” in the teachers and claimed they had “acted inappropriately” by ignoring the public health advice. …

The department is currently finalizing disciplinary processes against approximately 900 school staff … who were non-compliant with the lawful direction from their employer enforcing the Chief Health Officer’s Direction to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Way to go, Queensland Government. Their bodies, your choice.
