The member just does not stop
undermining everything we are trying to do to get people vaccinated. Why do the
Liberals and Nationals not go out there and support us? We have to get people
vaccinated. The opposition wants people not to be vaccinated, so therefore we
have shortages in the classrooms. Why do members opposite not just go out there
and do press conferences asking people to get vaccinated? Have they done that?
Have they ever done anything of that nature, rather than come in here and be
negative and whinge every day? Do they not think the public sees what they are—just
a group of negative, carping, whining people without ability? Do they not think
the public sees that?
A whole range of education measures
will be put in place. Obviously, we need to get a whole range of people back into the workforce should there be shortfalls. The
obvious solution to this and, as I said, the expectation of Education is
that 98.6 per cent of staff will be vaccinated by the due date. Therefore,
there is great confidence that we will have
an overwhelming number of people vaccinated and we will hopefully be able to
get above that vaccination rate before the due date.
