More than 89 per cent Victorians aged 12 years are now vaccinated as Australia's parliament considers a "discrimination" bill championed by One Nation leader Pauline Hanson.

She described vaccine mandates as a "pandemic of discrimination" but not everyone agreed.

Tasmanian senator Jacqui Lambie retorted that Senator Hanson had once described Australia as being "swamped by Muslims" and was making a hypocritical argument.

"If you're able to be vaccinated, and you choose not to, 'discrimination' is the wrong word. That's not discrimination. You have freedom to make a choice, but if you make a choice, those choices have consequences," she said.

"You're making a choice that means you're more likely to get COVID, and you're more likely to spread it to someone else.

"And that is your choice, it is your right, I want to make that clear, and I support that choice. But you don't get to decide how the rest of Australia responds to that choice."
