Victoria Hillcrest Christian College Teacher Against The Vaccine
Belinda Cetnar, a casual relief teacher from Victoria Hillcrest Christian College, has become the first person to challenge the Victorian government’s vaccine mandate.
According to the mandate, all approved personnel, including school staff, must receive at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccination by October 15 and a second dose by November 26.
The pair stated that the COVID-19 vaccine mandate is an overbroad regulation that violates human rights and that employees who refuse the vaccine due to religious beliefs will be discriminated against.
“In medical treatment and operations, they do not uphold a citizen’s right to autonomy and informed consent,” she stated.
Instead, they want teachers to have other options, such as fast antigen testing and wearing personal protective equipment (PPE).
He further adds, “why wound anyone want to spread the virus in the school community?”
The pair stated that they were seeking legal counsel ahead of the trial, which began on October 25.
Even though both the Cetnars have worked at Clyde North’s Hillcrest Christian College, Clyde North’s Hillcrest Christian College is not involved in the case and has announced to 9News that it would follow all regulatory regulations.
Case Update on Jack Catner Protest
Ms. Cetnar is fighting on her own behalf, citing the Fair Work Act, the UNESCO Statement on Bioethics and Human Rights and a number of other similar rights
However, because of the “public interest” in the case, she has asked the Supreme Court not to hold her liable for any damages that may be awarded.
According to the court, the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission was still debating whether to intervene under the state’s Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act.
The case was scheduled for trial on October 25 at a brief Supreme Court hearing on Tuesday, with a directions hearing likely to take place before then.
A request for comment has been sent to the Victorian government.
