Protesters march through Darwin CBD in opposition to vaccine mandate

Protesters took to the streets for the third Saturday in a row marching against the NT government’s vaccine mandate.

Anti-mandate protesters march through Darwin CBD again

ANOTHER Saturday, another thousand people took to the streets of Darwin demanding the vaccination mandate be revoked.

The myriad of views expressed at the protest cover people who are vaccinated but oppose the mandate to those that believe the vaccination has deadly consequences.

Anti-vax vocalists David Cole attended the rally on Saturday after completing his mandatory 14 days quarantine in Howard Springs.

Cole attempted to abscond border controls before he was taken into custody by police on October 22 for breaching chief health officer’s orders.

Vaccination mandates have existed in the Australian workplaces for more than 15 years, especially in healthcare where workers vaccination status is a requirement in any hospital setting.

The mandate takes effect November 12.
