HCC allowing high profile anti-vaxxer to endanger vulnerable members of our community.
HCC is allowing high profile anti-vaxxer and 5G conspiracy theorist Billy Te Kahika to use publicly owned facilities in Hamilton Gardens to push his false and dishonest message encouraging vulnerable elderly and unwell people to spurn the life-saving Covid vaccine. The excuse given by bureaucrats for allowing this meeting is "freedom of speech", which is a farcical misuse of this expression, given the amount of deliberate and dangerous misinformation these disease peddlers repeat, and the devastating effect that illegal anti-vaxx protests have had on the latest spread of the Delta variant in NSW. Please read some actual information instead!

Poll: Do you think an age check is required for these drinks?
Stores are checking IDs for fancy soft drinks and not everyone is happy about it.
One shopper, who asked not to be named, bought some zero alcohol branded drinks at his local supermarket and was asked to “step around into the thoroughfare so a supervisor could see me and make sure I was over 18. I couldn't believe it."
Do you think an age check is required for these drinks? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
