Palaszczuk demanding an apology from Hunt

ANNASTACIA Palaszczuk has demanded an apology from Health Minister Greg Hunt, declaring she has been vindicated by his decision to call for analysis into how vaccinations affect children.

The Premier said she had been “attacked relentlessly” by the Commonwealth after demanding an investigation into the risks for kids aged under 12 when borders reopen and Covid spreads.

“I raised very clearly that there was an issue and we needed a plan for young children between the ages of five and 11 who weren’t vaccinated – what was the plan for them,” she said.

“I was attacked relentlessly by the federal government and today and yesterday we hear that Greg Hunt is now speaking with the Therapeutic Goods Administration to run analysis of the trials of five to 11s which Pfizer has been conducting.”

Her comments came as Queensland recorded one community case of Covid-19, in home quarantine and posing no risk to the community.

She said the state’s vaccination rate had reached 42.35 per cent of people with double doses.
