He was 85-years-old.Mr Harrison was a cultural adviser “on health and cultural-related issues” for the Informed Medical Options Party and was promoted as a key speaker at the “Millions March” rally in Sydney’s Hyde Park on November 27.
“He was a very humble person who gave so much to others. He was very family-oriented and leaves behind eight generations of family bloodlines,” Ms Harrison said. In a statement online, IMOParty founder Michael O’Neill described Uncle Max as a cultural adviser to the movement, which opposes mandatory vaccination and claims every second Indigenous child either experienced death or injury as a result of vaccination.There are 156 COVID-19 cases admitted to hospital in NSW with 23 people in intensive care and seven on ventilators.
