Mark Latham slams ‘bizarre’ ad encouraging children to get COVID jab without parental consent
A Victorian government-funded youth body has created a TikTok video encouraging teenagers to get the COVID-19 vaccine without their parents’ permission.
Youth Affairs Council of Victoria (YACVIC) features two teenage girls who go on a post-lockdown date to see a movie, and end up getting vaccinated when one can’t enter.
In Victoria, people aged 12 to 17 may provide their own consent.

Mark Latham told Ben Fordham they’re sending the wrong message.
“Splitting children away from their parents on a health decision will lead to a division, breakdown of families.”
