Premier Gladys Berejiklian has voiced her interest in a possible COVID-19 vaccine passport for New South Wales residents – saying it may not be possible for the state to move forward until the majority of the population is vaccinated.

Discussions are underway for a vaccine passport-style plan for NSW citizens which may prohibit a person from entering a venue if they have refused a COVID-19 jab. Asked today about the possible move, Ms Berejiklian said “what we are doing is planning ahead”. “We’re trying to be a few steps ahead so NSW and Australia don’t fall behind the rest of the world when it comes to opening up.

“I'm all supportive of a national scheme to give people that passport if that’s the case but if we’re able to enhance what's offered or enhance what’s available. “I do want our citizens in NSW to start thinking optimistically about the opportunities that might come down the track once the vast majority of our population has been vaccinated.

Unless vaccine passports state that: 'Vaccination won't prevent you from catching COVID19 and passing it on', they may give people a false sense of security. If they do state this information, then what's the point of the vaccine and passport? COVID19Aus

Wow

Intimidation and coercion is in part illegally...

That’s not providing an incentive, it’s penalising those that don’t conform. Nice spin Gladys, but you have no right to force people into taking untested vaccines that don’t work anyway

Boycott the vaccine & businesses that support vaccine passports

Coercion pure and simple..

A vaccination that doesn’t stop you from getting it 🧐

Coercion, no other word to explain it.

Of course she has, they all will. It’s all in the long planned agenda

Trying to distract people from her government's obvious corruption by mentioning Covid again

How about focusing on a positive campaign to encourage Covid vaccination rather than seeking to ostracise the people that are concerned about it. The testing and contact tracing has been successful because it was all done in good faith by showing respect to individuals.

Lock up folks that can be vaccinated but won't. Either that or force them into the desert to live off spiders and tainted water.
