With key parts of the economy poised to reopen, venues and businesses are calling for the government to mandate vaccination requirements to avoid them running the risk of a legal or public backlash.

Businesses are grappling with how to deal with the vaccine status of their customers once vaccination targets are achieved and they can reopen

CEO Jayne Hrdlicka told 7.30 one suggestion it was considering was akin to a "smoking and non-smoking section", only now it would be a "vaccinated section and a non-vaccinated section"."We think Christmas is going to be a fantastic time in AustraliaThe airline has mandated that all of its 6,000 staff be vaccinated — a move that will be under consultation with the unions until next week.

Virgin Australia CEO Jayne Hrdlicka is hoping state borders will open up by November, but is against vaccine passports for domestic travel. "But for me, there's lots of different ways to cross state borders. And the notion of a passport to cross state borders feels quite tough."

Not really can mandated, OHS, is but 1 reason.

Let businesses decided what they mandate or don't. And let the public decide where they spend their money. Or did we all forget how amazing the free market is?

Let's empower Harvey Norman 🖕

Business will bear all the costs of compliance, so don’t expect this silly idea to last very long. DoNotComply NoVaccinePassports

What the scientific grounds and the freedom implications of this? A highly rushed and novel tech with growing signals of harm and low efficacy

Vaccinated and against mandating it. We don’t have enough data for gov to make such strong stance, no one even knows if two dosis will be enough

Israel has one of the highest vaccination rates & is now the world's Covid hotspot... what's up with that?

And there's those of us who are fully vaccinated who will discriminate against a business because they allow the unvaccinated to enter

Of course it is. The Morrison Govt is involved. With its array of incompetent ministers, inept AG’s and hidden flaws.
