The high risk country in question is Papua New Guinea.

I'll change the mood. I have just been out helping one of my contractors. He had help already. His Aussie girlfriend that he hadn't seen for a year. Amazing what a shag can do to people's attitudes. He was actually friendly and helpful for once, and she had a big grin on her face.

He shouldn't be prosecuted because the lockdown was bullshit.
man, that's a real anarchist take on that shit. Love 'em or not, just ignoring lockdowns is madness.
I'm as critical as the next bloke (as long at that's @voodoo) about lockdowns, and think we are probably trigger happy, but I'm damn sure to follow the rules as much as possible. The rule of law is critical to a free society (along with freedom of speech, but that's a different story). You can dislike it, want to change it and try to change it, but don't bloody ignore it.
Salus populi suprema est lux.
Cicero would have had you beaten for Latin that bad...
Salus populi suprema est lex
It could have just been a typo and he forgot the "esto"?
Subject, object, verb.
Come on people, Latin’s not hard.

Get her a t-shirt that reads 'Facebook cost me my job'
Feel a little sorry that they used a photo of someone associated with the fool above the headline though.

Excuse me Mr JC but I thought that I had it correct?
Salus populi suprema lex esto. Yes?
My latin hasn't been used much for 35 years, although you have managed to capture the tone of my teacher quite nicely. Probably a little more yelling and threats would work.

I know of a certain number of health professionals are about to be in the same boat, which is deeply disappointing.
A comment was made that how good could they be at their jobs if they didn't understand the need for vaccinated staff when dealing with patients that are high risk of dying if they were exposed to Covid.
If you deal with the public, no jab no job IMO.

The best vaccine roll-out has been to the military front liners. Do as you are told and queue up over there.
Funny how none of them have had an issue.
Unfortunately giving people choice also gives them the ability to make stupid decisions.The woman referred to in the article sounds like she wanted to be pig-headed then received some bad advice from this 'employment law advocate' and is now paying the price.

I'm all for people having a choice, but that doesn't trump people right not to be exposed to disease. Particularly a disease that has been shutting down the economy.
So these people can refuse a jab, but they better have alternative skills that allow redeployment otherwise, sucks to be you.

She seems a bit dense. Imagine pointing your client towards an outcome that the employer legally can't deliver.

Was this employment law advocate offering free legal advice on Facebook?

@antipodean Apparently she's actually qualified. She has an LLM. Imagine that.

Not entirely free. She is a 'No win, No pay' employment advocate. A Saul Goodman of sorts. Advertises for business on FB though.
My original comment was more about those swayed into going down this route by anti-vax/mask etc stuff spread through social media.This was from a FB link https://www.ashleightheadvocate.co.nz/post/covid-19-vaccination-and-employment-law

Totally ignores the key point that this isn't a choice for the employer. They have been told to do so by the MoH.

Good news; my Mum's rest home had everyone vaccinated today with the first dose
Bad news; her Alzheimer's is at a point where she can't remember having had the vaccine.
Slight silver lining; there cant be much in the way of pain or lingering symptoms if she genuinely "ooh, I can't remember any vaccine" a few hours later...
