So what's new you ask?
And anyway, the UK isn't demanding coerced injections any more ... but if any employer in the UK is so doing (or tries it on once more), the law (according to "down under") is on your side.
No, it's not really anything new, but it is a new twist that potentially evens the argument. Instead of arguing against your possibly remote and effectively faceless employer, you can argue with the person waiting to inject you.
This could even the odds up considerably.
Of course the Australian precedent may not be recognised in a UK Court, but coerced medical intervention (especially with a needle) has always been considered assault and battery under Common Law (in my understanding).
So ask the person wielding the needle their identity and tell them that you are being coerced to take the jab, pointing out that they will be guilty of assault if they do so, knowing you to be coerced.
Then stare them down and tell your employer that they refused to jab you. Or if they make to jab you anyway, just walk out - you won't have lost anything ...
