A ray of good news somewhat related to my earlier post about a possible schism developing within the police departments around the country. Queensland police Commissioner Katarina Carroll is getting dragged into court over QPD's vax mandate -- seven cops so far are involved in the suit.
Interestingly, QPD's police union claims to have no idea who is bankrolling the seven pissed off police officers, and the union VP, Sean Prior, whines and urges the uppity peasants to narc on who's involved.
In the Supreme Court action filed from the seven employees, they are seeking a judicial review of the Commissioner's direction, alleging it breaches the rules of natural justice, human rights and anti-discrimination laws.
Court documents show the group also claim the direction for staff to vaccinate is an "improper exercise of power".
Their concerns include that the Commissioner's direction is an adverse action against employees that do not vaccinate because of political or religious beliefs.

“I would hate that our members are being tagged on and blindsided by political gains,” Mr Prior said.
“I won’t get into what the rumours are around who is funding what. I would just ask the members who are engaging in this challenge to publicly declare who is financially backing them so the public can have a true picture about what is really going on here.
“We have a real concern at the Union that our members would be blind sided and pulled into any political gains.”
