As the state flags a move towards a 'vaccine economy', Grand Hotel Healesville publican Lisa McKay says she just wants everyone to be able to have a beer together.

A post from one of Victoria's best-known pubs has gone viral after the owner said she would welcome people whether they were vaccinated or not once restrictions ease.She says the pub will abide by whatever rules are laid down by the state

Publican Lisa McKay said she decided to make her position clear after hearing from customers worried about who would be allowed into her pub once restrictions were lifted. Ms McKay said she wanted to take a stand against discrimination based on someone's vaccination status."I think that everybody should be welcome."'We're not anti-vax'

I hope every venue or shop will let people know who they are willing to let in, so, I can avoid those places.

They’ve got two heads in Omeo anyway

Based on this abc poll, The Grand has lost 65% of its abc twitter reading/following customers

It’s a pity the pub owner doesn’t get drafted to work in an ED to pay for his stupidity.

Hope she doesn’t whinge then when Healesville is locked down.

Grand Hotel also announces that their Bistro will no longer be following food safety standards, because, you know, choice.

How can U welcome everyone when only jabbed people can go in . That's not following government instructions , derrrr

Good on U mate

Pass.

These owners have been blase right throughout the pandemic. Neither they or their staff wear masks in their drive through bottle shop.

like as if many business owners of what they have gone thru the past 18 months are going to turn away customers , our goof ball pm has already said it is up to the establishment .

More customers, no compliance costs - come as you are is the way it is going to be. NoVaccinePassports

Yay for non-discrimination and yay for the vaccinated too scared to mix who want to segregate themselves because they wouldn't be any fun anyway.

No thanks 🙂

Finally someone with common sense 🙌🏼

Who would have thought that would have more heart and brains than politicians? Amazing.

Future Tier 1 exposure site. Do we just add it to the list now?

And the educated will vote with their feet!

I know where I'll be avoiding

‘Viral’ being the operative word.

As a former premiership player for Healesville, next time I’m there I’ll be heading to the Terminus down the road instead.

Remind me not to go there.

Stay tuned for the follow up post announcing they are closed for quarantine due to the owner and staff having Covid.

Waiting for the vax'd to have that stop thought moment and go 'hang on, I got the vax so I could do this?' Then they start thinking, 'isnt this about the virus?' They get angry and want more draconian measures implemented cuz they got the vax and they DEMAND SPECIAL TREATMENT

Call the stasi

A vaccinated person is just as infectious as a non vaccinated person, but no one talks about that, the vaccine only lowers the serverity to the person not the spread rate

Heard her interview on ABC Melb this afternoon. She came across as someone who gets thier primary news from Facebook and values those opinions as “science” over actual science. Problem is I’m guessing there are 100K’s just like her. These will be why we don’t get above 70% vax

Shock horror….Victorian Pub owner interested in making money….much much less interested in welfare of patrons….who’d have thought

If it’s not against the law then it thier choice…BUT… they MUST inform people so we can choose to NOT go there.

Don’t they care about their staff?

THAT IS THE GREAT SPEECH FOR THE WHOLE AUSTRALIAN TOGETHER AGAIN . I WILL AVIOD SOMEWHERE REQUIRED VACCINATION WHICH IS VERY DANGER SITE TO SPREAD THE VIRUS

I will actively spend hundreds at this pub.

So you can Covid inside, but must smoke outside? 🤔

Good on her. Until she receives clarification then serve all. I'm fully vaxed but don't expect those around me to be until and if it's mandated . Good publicity for The Grand though.

Unsurprising- people are tired, they want to go back to the pub and forget about all this. Blame lies on the governments of the states and the federal government that didn’t press to vaccinate earlier in the year when we were at zero. Now people are sick and tired of this crap…

I think that is cool. Those vaccinated are protected. Many cannot be vaccinated. Some prefer to take the risk. A pub is a meeting place not an exclusive club.

Good to know where to avoid!

About time for some common sense in Victoria. No government needed

That's exactly how a free society should operate. Go or don't go that should be 100% your choice.

Will be actively avoiding viral cesspit like this

Not going there then. Tier 1 site coming up

Be interesting to see how the business goes

Crazy. Not reading the room.

PlagueRats 🐀 welcome!

Alternative Headline; Victorian Pub owner don’t care who you are. Money makes all men equal

I'd love to have a beer with Duncan but definitely not at this pub.

Less punters, less money spend, less tax collected.

Unvaccinated should pay zero taxes considering they will not be getting any services from the government. They should also be allowed not to vote because most politicians don't support them. AlboMP AdamBandt GladysB adamseconomics

Lol thanx, never goin there!

Isn’t the point of herd immunity that you don’t have to tell people what they can and can’t do? If people take risks it’s their own stupid fault and that’s ok. Why should people live forever under constant surveillance. Dan Andrews will feel less relevant but so what.

What’s the difference between 20 vaccinated in a pub vs 20 unvaccinated in a pub? Just trying to get my head around this dilemma.

Well that's a place to avoid like the plague.

I'll pass.

Lisa Mc Kay is in breach of her duty of care, recklessly, so her occupiers liability insurance will be void at law, a delinquent marketing strategy that will bankrupt her. Also a known risk of contagion that is ignored, is an OHS crime and a crime against food sale and prep laws.

Will avoid.

This is good, now we know where NOT to go

Getting piss heads, pisseder.

Cue the hysteria

Little does he know that vaccinated people don't want to be around idiots

Big thing AstraZeneca has over PfizerThe co-creator of Oxford University’s AstraZeneca vaccine is “confident” people won’t need regular booster shots to maintain their immunity against Covid-19. That's what Pfizer said 6 months ago ... How on earth could you possibly make that claim when you don't even know what the long term side effects of taking this vaccine could do to you as there is no data on it? What you have a crystal ball do you? Will Dan let you out when we reach 70-80%? Yep, gotta get a flu jab every year, but a mutating C19, nup. 🙄
