‘A decision of my own making’: Christensen quits plum role after vaccine slap down | CameronAtfield Dana_Adele

“Don’t go off to things that are people just rabbiting on Facebook and social media and all the rest of it, you’re not going to find answers there,” he said.“Don’t listen to him. He is not a doctor, he can’t tell you what to do with vaccines ... He is allowed to speak his mind, but Australians shouldn’t be listening to it.”

Deputy Nationals leader David Littleproud labelled Mr Christensen’s comments “irresponsible and inappropriate”, tweeting: “The only advice parents should take on vaccinating their children is from a doctor”. Before Mr Christensen’s announcement that he would step down from the parliamentary committee, opposition health spokesman Mark Butler said the MP and others, such as Senator Rennick and Alex Antic, were using government resources to “promote these deeply dangerous and divisive messages”.

On Friday Mr Christensen is set to appear at an online event hosted by an anti-vaccination group alongside fellow Queensland Nationals Senator Matt Canavan and South Australian Liberal Senator Alex Antic. Former government MP Craig Kelly and One Nation’s Pauline Hanson and Malcolm Roberts are also due to attend.
