“No thongs, no singlets” is a common rule for pubs, while nightclubs refuse entry to those who are too intoxicated. Vaccine mandates would significantly reduce health risks. | OPINION covid19 vaccines pandemic

. Direct discrimination is where a person is treated unfavourably because of their protected attribute. This could occur where a female employee is not offered a promotion because she is a woman.

Vaccine mandates apply to all, so we are in the field of indirect discrimination. A requirement to be vaccinated to enter a cafe might disadvantage people with a disability, if they are unable to be vaccinated for health reasons, and people who have religious beliefs against certain vaccines. These are protected attributes in most Australian discrimination laws.

A “no jab, no entry” policy is almost certainly reasonable, and therefore lawful. There is widespread community transmission in many parts of Australia right now, and you are more likely to catch COVID-19 in indoor venues. Even outside of Victoria, NSW and the ACT, the risk of COVID-19 crossing borders is ever-present.

require employers to take steps to reduce workplace risks, to both workers and customers. The best way to protect hospitality workers and patrons from catching COVID-19 and getting sick is through vaccines. Complying with work health and safety laws is also a defence to any discrimination claim.

So, because there are some rules, there can be any rule. Because there is ‘no singlets’, there can be ‘no unvaccinated’ and ‘no blacks’ and ‘no catholics’…This guy is actually a lecturer? His university should think about that.

Best explanation yet! Perhaps it deserves front page?

Are drugs allowed in these night clubs?

Vaccine mandates is violating the constitution of commonwealth section 51

Yep injecting a medication = wearing shoes.

Comparing thongs and singlets to a vaccine stupidest things I ever heard. Who actually buys this newspaper

I honestly don’t understand why this is even an issue. It’s a simple choice; get vaxxed or don’t. Just means your choices for some things in life will be more limited if you choose not to be vaxxed. This sort of thing applies in many areas of life.

Correct

'Upfront, open and honest': Dutton defends Australia's handling of submarine contractDefence Minister Peter Dutton says he understands why the French are upset but insists Australia's decision to scrap the submarine deal between the countries should not have come as a complete surprise. There is NOTHING upfront and honest about the rabble of a government. Everything is cloak and dagger behind closed doors. You cannot believe upfront and certainly not ‘honest’ when it comes to politics but it is a concern to be remembered for this. Hopefully Labor will smooth relations and press ahead. Why didn’t this govt think ahead with what kind of Subs they wanted b4 signing with France. Stupid We had a contract and reneged, it’s as simple as that. Australia’s conduct is indefensible not to mention compounded by the public stance on reasons the government gives for doing so. Poor form by them.
