It really is regrettable that the Federal Government failed to deal with vax hesitancy, anti-vax, mRNA vax supply, and the campaign to discredit AZ - a safe and effective, locally made vaccine.

I checked in at 6 places on Friday, 6 on Saturday and 2 today - 8 of them small businesses.
I suspect most ppl would agree that’s not too great a burden to have businesses open and protect the health of our community.
Also, your use of “show their papers” is offensive.
Really, Jaala? Daniel Andrews and Labor might feel tough re the few % anti-vax, but this controlling and disproportionate policy is nothing but a burden on 95% of Victorians to “show their papers” everywhere, and a burden on small businesses at the worst possible time.
