Mallalieu: Bosses need protection

GOVERNMENT SHOULD COME out and support employers who are being vilified after following the COVID-19 directives issued during the pandemic.

Furthermore, says Independent Senator Andrew Mallalieu, there should be laws protecting the employers against lawsuits under similar circumstances.

“I won’t go into the details here but it is public record.

  1. What do you mean that employers did what they were asked? If What you were asked were unjust, you as an employer should have spoken out. Did the government told you to give insensitives to those who choose to take the jab? Don’t you know that is discrimination?
