Russell Broadbent here, Member for Monash.
Since speaking out against the unjust and unconscionable ‘No Jab, No Pay’ legislation, I’ve received thousands of emails from distressed Australian parents who’ve been unfairly impacted - and harmed, by this policy.
Parents who’ve been unable to work because they’re prevented from accessing childcare, for instance.
Parents coerced to vaccinate their children simply to survive financially.
And most heartbreaking of all - parents whose children have been injured by vaccines but are still unable to access help and support because their vaccination status is deemed to be ‘not up to date’.
The injustice of this situation has distressed and enraged me.
When the Government creates policies which harm people, it’s our responsibility as elected members - our duty of care - our moral obligation - to stop this harm!
To this end, I’ve drafted a Private Members Bill which I will introduce into Australia’s Federal Parliament in November. It calls for the restoration of conscientious objector rights in this country.
It will ensure the immediate restoration of a person’s right to say ‘no’ and will mean that every Australian has the right to refuse any medical treatment or health measure without penalty – be it financial, educational, social or otherwise.
When Australians are crying out about an issue we must heed the call.
My responsibility is to the Australian people - to protect their freedoms and to protect them from harmful policies.
The Restoration of Conscientious Objector Rights Bill will play a significant role in doing just that.
And that’s justice as I see it.
Dr David Bell is a co-signatory on my letters calling for the government to immediately investigate DNA contamination in the mRNA covid vaccines.
He shared his perspective on the management of future pandemics which many global leaders say is not a matter of if, but when.
‘Ensure people have good micro nutrient status …basic medicine 101. If everyone had normalised Vitamin D, we probably would have saved about a third of Covid deaths’.
Thank you Dr John Cambell for all you do. It was an honour to speak with you.
Last week in the Parliament, I received a distressing email from one of my constituents, who lives in a regional community.
He’d spoken with me a couple of years ago, when his father had passed away after receiving a booster shot.
He contacted me again, alerting me to the fact that several of his family members now have turbo cancer, heart related issues, or have died suddenly.
What on earth is happening? I’m not a doctor, but clearly something is not right here.
We don’t need to wait for a health minister, a prime minister, or anybody to admit that vaccines have side effects.
If you or if anyone you know is experiencing this in your regional community, please contact me.
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of speaking with Robyn Cosford about her experience as a doctor during Covid.
Please listen to her powerful testimony.
Dr Melissa McCann was working as a GP in rural Queensland when she noticed something terribly wrong during the Covid-19 vaccine rollout. She was starting to see a very unusual increase in normally 'rare' medical events. So she decided to investigate. What Dr McCann discovered was most disturbing.
Based on her findings, Dr McCann is now the courageous founder of a class action suit representing those who have experienced life-changing and catastrophic side effects from the Covid-19 vaccines.
Through Dr McCann’s efforts, litigation has been filed against the Australian Government, and several Office bearers, to recover compensation for injuries obtained as a result of taking one or more Covid-19 vaccines.
If you would like to financially support the class action, which is funded through the generosity of Australian people, or find out more go to:
Please visit the class action website for all details and link to join the action:
On Tuesday I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr Paul Marik who shared his perspectives on the global Covid responses. At first thought the vaccines may have a role for the most vulnerable, but when the narrative started falling apart, he changed his mind.
I changed my position - we need to self-reflect and acknowledge the mistakes.
Extended Interview with Dr Paul Marik
It's a pleasure for me to speak today on a critical issue that has been an issue for me for some time. Today I hosted in the House, from the Australian Medical Professionals' Society, AMPS, Dr Chris Neal, Dr Jeyanthi Kunadhasan and Kara Thomas. With them were Professor Angus Dalgleish and Dr Paul Marik. Professor Dalgleish is an imminent virologist; immunologist; medical oncologist; general physician; professor at St Georges, University of London; fellow of both the UK and Australian Royal Colleges of Physicians; and fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists. He has over 500 publications in peer reviewed literature and over 25,000 citations.
Dr Paul Marik is a former tenured professor of medicine and chief of pulmonary and critical care medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School. His training is in internal medicine, critical care, pharmacology and anaesthesia. He has over 500 peer-reviewed journal articles, 80 book chapters and four critical care books. He's been cited over 54,000 times in peer-reviewed publications and is a founding member of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance.
These two gentlemen have an amazing message for us. They are eminent doctors who have made significant contributions to medicine and the advancement of patient care over the decades of their lives. We would do well to pay attention to their message. But the problem is that their message, if given out only a few short months ago, would be deemed as misinformation or disinformation under the bill that's coming before the House, which is further censorship of scientists, censorship of health professionals and censorship of doctors and nurses.
It's been a pleasure to have them in the House and hear the message that such eminent people gave around the whole history of the COVID response, not only the COVID response but the effect it's had on so many millions of people across the world. We would do well to listen to such eminent people, to change the way we're going about things and change the narrative—I say again: change the narrative—so that we can help vax-injured people like Kara Potter, who this morning, out on the front lawns of the parliament, had the face of the fallen, and all those who have been severely affected by vaccine injuries. Thank you, Professor Dalgleish and Dr Paul Marik, for coming to this parliament today. It is greatly appreciated.

The rush to renewables and net zero is foolish at best.
It is not informed by logic, and it is not in the best interest of the Australian people, or our independence.
We are blessed with world-class quality and quantity of coal and gas right here in Australia. It’s our natural advantage.
And we made use of that advantage for a long time – in fact, it served us very well. Australia used to be a manufacturing powerhouse because of its abundance in natural resources, but what’s changed?
These days, we are locking away our coal and gas. Closing coal-fired power stations, one after the other, and banning further gas developments in Victoria.
Not only do we lock away our coal and gas, but we give it to foreign companies - basically for free! Barely any company tax or royalties are paid. Australians will ultimately get no benefit from the natural resources that we own. That certainly doesn’t pass the pub test.
Our natural wealth can be compared with that in Qatar. But there’s one key difference - they put their people first. How do I know this? Because you barely pay tax as a citizen in Qatar!
Putting Australians first is the only metric by which good government should be measured. Our government are failing in this because of their desperation for global conformity, instead of assessing what is really in the best interests of all Australians.
That’s Justice I as see it.
Russell Broadbent here, your Federal Member for Monash.
Recently, the Minister for Energy and Climate Change, Chris Bowen, said that the climate debate is settled, and that their science can’t be questioned.
This should be a huge red flag to Australians, we know better than letting Governments be the single source of truth.
An obsession over carbon emissions alone, is not going to improve our stewardship of the Earth.
In fact, Australia is completely insignificant as a carbon emitter compared to global counterparts like China.
Because of Australia’s abundance of nature and sparse population, we actually sequester 5 times as much carbon dioxide as we emit, according to Professor Ian Plimer.
Why isn’t this recognised? Because it doesn’t fit the narrative.
The science is propaganda if it can’t put to the test or up for debate. Therefore, all options should be on the table when addressing serious issues that affect our nation’s future.
That’s Justice as I see it.

Regional communities across Australia rely on backpackers for tourism, local economies and labour.
We have the most attractive Working Holiday Maker visa program in the world, with more than 200,000 people coming to Australia under this program each year.
But there are whispers that the government might scrap incentives for backpackers to make the trek to our regions, who are desperate for workers.
The 88-day regional work incentive in the Working Holiday Maker visa program, which has already been removed for British backpackers, might also be cut for other nationalities under proposed migration reforms.
Our farmers are rightly worried that they will face severe workforce shortages if this incentive is binned.
A recent report commissioned by the NFF estimates if just 20,000 visa holders no longer ventured out of the cities, it would cost regional communities $203 million per year and more than 1000 jobs.
For the horticulture sector alone, the absence of this workforce would cost $6.3 billion and 127,000 jobs along the supply chain.
The numbers paint a dire picture.
This Labor Government talks a big game about supporting regional Australia.
But I think they need to be reminded that our food doesn’t come from Coles or Woolies – it comes from our farmers.
Farmers feed the nation – it is our government’s job to support them.
And that means getting backpacker workers out of our cities and into Aussie farms.
That’s justice as I see it.

You read a lot in the papers these days about our quest to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
Every day, there is yet another puff piece about how clean, economically viable and ‘ready to go’ renewable energy is – and with the newly funded Future Made in Australia Fund, this rhetoric is only going to continue.
But there is a fatal flaw in this narrative.
Many of these articles fail to talk about the FULL extent of the environmental impacts of renewable energy projects.
In fact, the Environment Department itself are only required to consider the environmental impacts of renewable energy projects on a case-by-case basis – not overall.
But they are more than happy to draw attention to the so-called ‘big picture’ impact of rising carbon dioxide levels in our environment.
Seems like a double standard to me.
It has become clear that our city dwellers haven’t stepped outside of their apartments to consider just how much of our flora and fauna will be gutted to make room for the renewable energy infrastructure they support.
Judith Sloan put it perfectly in a comment for the Australian last year, saying that: ‘It is slowly dawning on more people that destroying the environment to save the environment doesn’t really make any sense.’
She also says that: ‘for every megawatt hour produced, wind needs seven times more land than coal-fired power plants, and ten times more land than gas power plants.’
What does that mean for our farmers and country dwellers? Who will be forced to give up their land for the government’s net-zero agenda?
A double standard indeed.
That’s justice as I see it.
