We already have these under section 201 of the act I just spoke about. You already have them. You're admitting that you won't enforce them.

Minister, you talked about the shortage of workers in regional and metropolitan areas around the country. We agree. Why don't you let those mandated without getting injections back to work? That's where a lot of people are trapped right now. They can't collect welfare, they can't get an income and they're a burden on society for simply not agreeing to put something in their bodies. This needs a comprehensive approach—taxation, energy, cost of living—not just fiddling with a few people. While you're at it, please answer the question: why are you supporting welfare for the top one per cent of income earners?
