perthnow.com.au12 months fully paid vacation while your workmates had to roll-up get the shot and then end up short staffed by vax sceptics.
Not sure how popular they're were going to be back at work

Going on what I hear from another emergency service they will be thought of as assholes. No one will have any time for them.

I work in a different field, but we’ve recently seen a small number returning to work after taking leave over the mandate.
Noticed a few walking around looking miserable. I don’t know if there’s been any outward hostilities, but they haven’t been welcomed back with open arms by the people who have struggled to pick up the slack.
I think some were expecting to expect a heroes welcome for standing up to Big Government, and they’re just not realizing what we actually think of them.

Do you not understand stood down = leave without pay it happened to us in the department I am in and the district had 5 people not allowed to come to work still on the books but on leave without pay 4 left voluntarily after not being able to fund themselves any longer and 1 got "sacked" cannot come back unless they reapply and now have taken away all mandatory vaccinations 1 week after the majority of us had to have 3rd booster the whole booster mandate should have been scrapped as they knew in advance all vaccine mandates were going to be scrapped I personally was told if "I did not have my 3rd vaccine 2 months before I was actually due it" I would lose my job no leeway whatsoever and as I said 2 months earlier than when I was due

With all due respect, do you know why punctuation is important? Your paragraph is one long sentence, but it looks like you had a sincere point to be made.

That's why I am only a physical worker and not an officer or anything that requires English literature writing skills my apologies I was never good at punctuation or form filling or for that matter interview's

Aw shit, now I want to give you a hug! Best of luck to you, friend.

I've always had similar issues. One tip is to reread what I type out as though I'm speaking it. Kinda like saying the sentence out loud as though I'm speaking to someone and checking to see if it makes sense.
Then whenever there's a spot where I'd pause, I put in a comma or full stop.

Yes they knew in advance mandates would be scrapped - when they'd served their purpose. Which they have.
The idea was to get the vast majority some level of protection against covid, as quickly as humanly possible. Which was achieved.
People who were sacked lost their jobs because they held the wider population back. Mandates would have been "scrapped" even sooner if we'd all rolled up right away.

If only they complied…

I reckon it's more than complying, its showing a level of basic common sense.

I caught Covid and passed it on to 2 otherwise normally healthy people with no underlying conditions. Killed both of em. Both aged under 50. Knew both for years.

Sorry for your loss.

Thanks. Both were unvaxxed and they couldn't handle it

It really isn't relevant that it was the vax mandate, they're not being stood down for failing to get jabbed, they're being stood down for not getting jabbed and continuing to work anyway. They broke they law, they can go fuck themselves.

I think its strange they are stood down when things are returning to normal, almost after the fact, you would think they would have been stood down during it.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. You should not serve if you are not going to do your part for the community.

How many do you think will now go into fringe politics?

Who cares, the crazies did terribly in the federal election and once the federal ICAC comes into effect they'll pretty much fade away.

Having experienced politics for nearly half a century now, I've given up wishing for such things.
If it does come true, it'll be something genuinely new.

Better that these particular idiots earn their power through an election than get handed power on a silver platter when they graduate the academy.

Better that they never get power at all through any channel.

Lol are you complaining about being downvoted for being a selfish cunt?

Basically everything you said. If you don't want to be vaccinated fine that's your choice, but it's cunty and selfish to fake a certificate and it's cunty and selfish to not wear a mask on public transport. My sister didn't get vaccinated but she also didn't fake a certificate and wore a mask. It's cunty and selfish to act like just because you didn't get it severely that you dismiss the reality that it's not going to be the same for everyone. Also it's cunty and selfish to act like we didn't dodge an absolute crisis by missing out on the deadlier variants earlier in the pandemic. It's cunty and selfish to say the pandemic is over just because we are not at peak infection rate any more. And it's even more cunty and selfish to not pay your taxes.
11
well there is the "not giving a shit about other's health" thing.
and then there is the "I will gladly use all the amenities the government paid for, but refuse to pay may part towards them with my tax" thing.
Take your pick.

Look if you wanted to just tell people you’re a cunt just say that and safe a lot of time.

Probably worth pointing out that WAPOL have dropped all vaccine requirements now.
14
I think the issue is a little deeper. It was a time of unknowns and action had to be taken.
The sensible action was to be vaccinated. If the virus had not mutated and we'd had the alpha or whatever variant come through here then it might have been a very different outcome.
Thank fuck for mutant viruses!

99.9% of cops are vaccinated and the website still says they need to be vaxed to pass recruitment.

Probs not, it might upset the narrative 🙄

Good.

Well done WAPOL.

Their body, their choice and they made a poor one

Ciao ciao coppers

Rightly so.

Well at least there are only smart cops left /s

Smart cops is an oxymoron

It's not the cops it's laws we have no say in that are.

The comments below that article are something to behold...
Is this where the anti-vax crowd lives when they're not on facebook?

Phyically they mostly live in Fremantle. It's mainly the Blazing swan/ New Age/ Crystal/ 'Wellness' fuckwits.
Them and the usual Sov-Cit kooks (of whom we have tons in WA), but they're usually found scattered all over the place.
Fucking cookers the lot of them.

I reckon the Venn diagram for shitty cops and anti vaxxers is just one circle. So this is good.
2†
That would imply that every single anti-vaxxer is a cop...

The cookers are rampant in the comments section.
Ergh.

Good; they deserve it.
They had plenty of time to get all 3 doses by now.

PerthNow uses UPPER CASE words in headline for their GARBAGE journalism
Constituents say CATCHYA LATER in response, don't give a shit as they continue to enjoy EVIDENCE of DICKHEADS.
I always love when it's specifically "SLAMMED", it's like their bread and butter. lol
I wonder what happens when somebody they are reporting on actual SLAMS somebody else. Do these editors wet their pants with excitement? Or do they get annoyed that they have to think up some other superlative?
Always HAS
I remember them as being really good when they first started . Now it’s just actually crap . Recaps of tvs shows and other nonsense. Not to mention errors in stuff

Are you expert in journalism? This sort of criticism distracts from the story.
Everyone’s an expert in journalism when compared against PerthNow
The story. Focus.

Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. The core of the article does not change.
It DEFINITELY does.
PERTH NOW doesn't HAVE A CORE it has HEADLINES and OUTRAGE
