Australia’s unjabbed police are not allowed to return to work as punishment

 Victorian cops who refused jabs unable to ever return to force

Despite police forces being short-staffed across the country, those that refused the jab will likely never find themselves working for the force again, one former cop has revealed.

LIFELONG BAN

Victorian Police officers who were fired for refusing to get a COVID vaccination are permanently banned from re-joining the force, despite being 800 police short, it has been revealed.

Former officer Tristan Penfold revealed to media this week that he would love to re-join the police, but has been told there is no way back in Victoria or any other state.

Penfold joined the police in 2019, but was suspended in late 2021 for refusing to get vaccinated, and was dismissed from the force in January 2022.

Appearing on Sunrise on Monday morning, Penfold said he and several other pro-choice former cops “would love to return and fill a much-needed hole”.. but they can’t.

He had said he was willing to get a Novavax jab — favoured by some people who did not want to get mRNA-based vaccines — but it was not available in Australia at the time.

Victoria Police has 800 vacancies in the force, leading to 43 suburban stations to reduce their hours.

“Unfortunately, the Chief Commissioner (of the Victoria Police) is not interested in rehiring us,” he said.

The rising crime rate and dwindling police resources has made no difference to the force’s policy. 

“All former police… seeking reemployment are required to undergo suitability assessments prior to returning to Victoria Police,” a spokeswoman told reporters.

“The application process for all new and former police includes assessment by a suitability panel.

The panel considers any probity issues including previous disciplinary matters and members who have resigned under investigation or have been terminated are not eligible to reapply.”

Penfold says there are no other disciplinary reasons the police are unwilling to rehire him, and that refusing to get vaccinated is “…the only blemish on my career”.

There are many others in the same boat as him.

“The number ranges in anywhere from 35 to somewhere in the hundreds depending on how you stack the numbers,” he said.

“I won’t say all of them wish to return. The damage has been done, unfortunately, for some. However, there are a good number, like myself, that are ready to return.”

Despite the vaccine mandate no longer applying, Mr Penfold said the situation is that: “Once terminated, you may never reapply or be rehired by Victoria Police“.

“That will carry across to other states too,” he said.

Indeed, it should come as no surprise that Victoria Police would ensure no cops with a conscious train of thought would ever be allowed back in.

With a steamroll towards 2030, the establishment — despite their destroyed credibility in the public’s eye and struggle to fill vacancies across the country — don’t want those kind of people on the force anymore.

For to enforce the resource-restricting and freedom-crushing policies that will come over the decade, they need soulless monsters, and are even gearing up for robotic police officers to be rolled out.

Never could the average Victorian ever had imagined those who were there to serve and protect would ever stoop to the lows they did (with the assistance of off-shore paramilitary entities).
