Liberal Senator Amanda Stoker was on the ABC this afternoon, saying that anti-vaccination sentiments were “ill-informed” but that some needed to be persuaded.
She said that these sentiments needed to be acknowledged, which forcing people to require the vaccine against their will may be a “mistake”:
I think there’s tons of concern in pockets of our community about forced vaccination. and that i think it’s , look, i feel it’s ill-informed, but we do got to acknowledge it’s there and that we need to try to to what’s necessary to assist those therein situation feel assured enough to try to to what we all know is that the right to do for the general public health response.
Simply forcing an individual against their will, without bothering to require them on a journey, i feel may be a mistake.
And there’s some roads I don’t think we should always go down and being too draconian about this stuff , I think, would be unduly encroaching on the rights of the individual.
