The Discernable Interviews

#FreeMelbourne with David Limbrick MP on Freedom, Human Rights and Vic Govt's Response to Covid-19

1 Hour 16 Minutes

David Limbrick MP is a member of Victoria’s Legislative Council (the upper house). A long-time member of the LDP (www.ldp.org.au) he has risen to fame during Victoria’s COVID-19 lockdowns for being one of the only politicians to stand for basic human rights such as school children returning to school.

David has also been providing scrutiny on the government’s State of Emergency laws through the PAEC (Parliamentary Accounts and Estimates Committee) where he has argued that the Victorian Labor government is not following the laws that require proportionality in any restrictions imposed.
