Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House during the childhood of many petitioners, they had to be vaccinated against polio and smallpox to allow them to fly to different countries. This was to ensure the safety of myself, the air crew and anyone they came into contact with at either end of their flight. COVID is a similarly dangerous disease.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to have all MPs and their political staff fully vaccinated against COVID before being allowed into Parliament House. This will ensure the safety of the hundreds of public servants in Parliament House with the side effect of making the people who may come in contact with MPs safe too.
