The former politician is sending out yellow and black flyers across the country, questioning the speed of the development of COVID-19 vaccines.

Mr Morrison said the Federal Government is doing everything it can to clamp down on false vaccine campaigns.

“This is misinformation, pure and simple,” he told reporters in Melbourne.

“It’s rubbish, complete rubbish.”

The opposition has asked the Australian Electoral Commission to investigate the pamphlets, arguing they should be treated as part of a political campaign by Mr Palmer.
