Legal action against Telstra over its COVID-19 vaccination policy for employees has been discontinued, with documents showing it was funded by Clive Palmer.
The class action was discontinued after Palmer decided to stop funding the action, according to Federal Court documents.
It required employees who had regular contact with customers, the public or other employees to have their first vaccination by October 2021 and their second by the following month.
