“Firstly, I’m 23 (F). Consider it luck or divine intervention that my 9-5 recruitment job accepted my stance of non-compliance while the series of events played out in 2020/21, however it’s within all of these experiences I encountered in this time that eventually led me to the of pathway to stepping into our family wellness business and quitting my job in 2022. With no plan whatsoever! The mandates were one of the toughest, most insightful times of our lives, my partner put himself into hospital in 2022 from the stress of his bosses coercion and blackmailing (he’s perfectly fine), and he left his job to transfer to a workplace that would look after him and respects his non-compliance – incredible how things turn out when you trust your intuition. Things turned out amazing well afterwards and there are no doubts in my mind to say that these times didn’t contribute to a higher purpose / form of awakening for myself and my family.”

We were close to losing our house. My credit rating has suffered. Still have not recovered financially. I am in a low paying job as it’s all I could get which didn’t request jab status. Have been stuck there since as they help accommodate my situation i.e. having to work part time to care for my daughter who could not attend kindy due to her jab status. She has also suffered and been isolated with no friends to play with whilst I’ve been working from home every second week. I’m unable to give 100% towards parenting nor towards work, both have suffered. My husband cares for her whilst he’s home on RNR for the alternate weeks.”

“As a single mother of three daughters (1 high school, one primary school and one kindy) it was harder on my school age girls as they were getting singled out for not being vaccinated. I urged them not to wear a mask but their age and confidence they didn’t want to be singled out so they chose to wear. Mask. I didn’t, but it was difficult I couldn’t work, couldn’t take the kids to the movies and couldn’t even see Xavier Rudd and a few events because of the mandates. Now still I cannot receive CCB so have to pay full fees for after school care or child care, and I have lost nearly $150 a fortnight off my family assistance payment due to my daughters being not up to date with vaccinations.

Sadder still was the devastating trauma it caused to my Father & I when we were separated & he was taken away from me & put into a Home when they changed the Hospital he was in to a “covid” facility & all Patients were removed. Because he’d had a fall & was “suffering from dementia” he was taken away by strangers & put into his room on his own for 3 days & left there because the OT had got him the wrong wheel chair & they deemed it to unsafe so he had to stay in his bed. And no-one was allowed to visit. After “forever” when I was allowed to sit outside in the cold & wet & see him through the screened window, for 25 mins a day, if they weren’t “booked out”, he just sobbed & tried to get through the window to me.

I am South African born, lived in the UK for 17 years and immigrated to Australia 6 years ago. It was an awful time during Covid being ostracized and not being able to be there when my mother in-law and father in-law died as we were not jabbed. I was not able to fly out and be with my father when he was critically ill in hospital with cancer. It has left us feeling lost and unclear if we are going to stay in Australia or move back to the UK to be with family. Our greatest fear is that government have the power to shut down the world and lock you into a country with no freedom of choice or movement.”
