An Australian politician battles with an American senator over the vaccine mandate on Twitter. 

Northern Territory Chief Minister Michael Gunner addressed Senator Ted Cruz’s claims of Covid tyranny and Australia’s government’s approach to the pandemic is disgraceful and sad. 

Mr Gunner highlighted how the Northern Territory experienced no Covid deaths during the pandemic in comparison to the 70,000 deaths in the US state of Texas. 

Senator Cruz’s claim comes as protests for Australia’s freedom in the US continue.
