Wendy Hazelton running for Division 2 in South Burnett elections

Wendy Hazelton says she flew an Airbus around the world for 43 years before Covid struck and she refused to get vaccinated. Now she wants to be a South Burnett councillor.

Wendy Hazelton is running for Division 2 in the South Burnett Regional Council elections.

Former airline captain Wendy Hazelton lost her job due to the Covid mandates and hopes to become the new Division 2 councillor in the upcoming South Burnett Regional Council election.

At a Chamber of Commerce candidates’ forum in February, Ms Hazelton said her background as a pilot had helped prepare her for council.

“I’m a country girl, horse trainer … and I’ve had a distinguished career as an airline captain,” she said.

“I’ve flown an Airbus around the world for 43 years, over 16,000 hours.”

Ms Hazelton said her experience as an airline captain had made her an “expert” in crew management and situational awareness.

She lost her job after refusing to get the Covid vaccine and said on her Facebook page she had worked without a salary for three years to help people “fight for your rights”.

Ms Hazelton said there were not enough voices in the public domain and partly blames the media which she calls “deeply recessive and depressive”.

Ms Hazelwood said she had helped distribute a free newspaper called The Light Australia which she describes as the “uncensored truth”.

The Light Australia often contains critical articles about vaccines and the World Health Organisation.

Ms Hazelton has also shown support on social media for anti-5G campaigns.

She said she was running for council because she saw a need for a voice to be heard.

“We need voices in council who can talk and make sense,” she said.

“I believe in truth, transparency and accountability and I will never give up.

“We need to control what’s happening in the council and I’m going to do that for your voice,” she said.

At the end of her time during the Chamber of Commerce candidates forum, Ms Hazelton suggested the South Burnett Council may be under the control of an unknown entity.

“Global governance … the council, I don’t know who (it’s) listening to but it’s not the ratepayers, it’s not the taxpayers here, we need to get into who’s controlling the council,” she said.
