Anti-vaxxer nominates

THE former paramedic who took his fight against vaccine mandates to the NSW Supreme Court will seek to win over “Howard’s Battlers” as he runs for parliament at the upcoming com federal election.

John Larter has been endorsed by the Liberal Democrats as a Senate candidate, signalling a further showdown between the minor parties for disaffected voters ranging from the lockdown-weary to the alt-right.

The Liberal Democrats party is in the process of changing its name after losing a High Court bid to overturn a complaint from the Liberal Party that argued the names were too similar.

Mr Larter will run on a freedom-heavy platform.
