I'm glad Senator Birmingham backs the TGA more than he backs his own MPs. Mr George Christensen's Facebook yesterday received the fourth-most interactions of all federal politicians, and he represents a region with one of the lowest vaccination rates in the country, at only 10.2 per cent. Mr Christensen regularly uses his Facebook to undermine the use of lockdowns and restrictions, saying they had actually caused deaths in Australia. How can Australians be expected to do the right thing when Mr Morrison's own members are encouraging them to ignore the Prime Minister's own public health advice?
