Clive Palmer claims ‘great victory’ in funding challenge to Queensland’s Covid vaccine mandate

Billionaire says he gave $2.5-$3m towards case, with supreme court finding police and ambulance workers were unlawfully directed to get vaccines

Billionaire Clive Palmer claims to have set a worldwide precedent after funding a successful challenge to Queensland’s Covid-19 vaccine mandates, while raising the prospect of further legal action.

The state’s supreme court on Tuesday found police and ambulance service workers were unlawfully directed to receive vaccines or face potential disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.
