Just heard legislation in NSW has been updated to now make presenting a fake or fraudulent vaccine certificate a crime.
Would have thought this was the case by default. Falsifying an official government document?

All APC powders including Bex and Vincent's were banned in Australia in 1977, they caused so much kidney damage to users that there were not enough dialysis machines available to cope!
I remember going to work in Fairfield Sydney in the early 70's and stopping at the Commercial Hotel to get a pack of ciggies every morning, they were cheaper there, all the old winos who mainly wore business suits were at the bar drinking shots of fortified wine 40% proof by volume, they would be shaking so much it was served in middie glasses, they used to shake so much they would spill it everywhere, but without fail each and everyone of em had 4 or 5 empty APC papers on the bar next to them, Bex powders were lethal, but it taught me one thing that I have stuck by all my adult life, never drink alcohol before noon, weekends included, only breaking that rule if we had to finish off a keg by noon, from the party the night before! ![]() PS- If you were late back with the keg and glasses, you forfeited your deposit, you never sent em back with beer in em!

This has me intrigued. If a premises declines to recognise proof of vaccination as tendered, the pressure is now on them to report a suspected offence… While the penalty level does not make failure to report an offence in itself, it hearkens to the late KFB Packer at a Senate inquiry: “You’re either going to have to believe me, or start calling me a liar”.

I was asked to "loan" my double vax certificate yesterday to one of the "4" to use at his work as a welder, this is Mr 140 plus IQ, like I said earlier in the thread, high IQ does not equate in any way shape or form to common-sense.
I said it has all of my personal govmint info on it you idiot, he said he would just put random stuff, I said there is an IHI number that is like a personal identifier, I ended up just telling him to get vaxxed, I even asked my GP if I bring 4 people here unannounced could the nurse give them a vaccination there and then, his answer was " yes " the more the merrier, bloody unreal eh, so it does happen CB! |

Never stopped them in the past, even going back to settlements here.
BTW, as I said before in my flu post I'm completely against the segregation of vaxxed/unvaxxed. For the gov or employers to ask for it as the condition of employment I'm fine with - there's many other conditions for employment, health, airlines that we've already accepted so that's also fine. But to have bouncers (read: just regular staff) to have to vet patrons on entry to a regular business is absurd. No one would want that job and deal with antivaxxers etc. It's unfair to the employees - they're not bouncers or cops. Stay shut until it can be open to all patrons.

Have just been browsing the menu for Borsch, Vodka & Tears, noting it’s getting closer to being a practical visit from Sydney, once again.

I can't wait for when it's time to get your tenth booster shot but the unvaccinated are still the problem.
Actually most likely it will be the 9th blaming the 8th and the 8th blaming the 7th etc. |

Surely there is an understanding that this is a given and a requirement for the business to operate? Hence why many larger organizations have made it a requirement.

NSW/VIC
NSW records 293 cases in the current period and the 10-day average growth rate increases to 1.0204 (from 1.0124) while the actual line remains above the predictive trend line which is changed to a 4th order polynomial again. ![]() VIC records 1,923 cases in the current period and the 10-day average growth rate increases to 1.0128 (from 0.9910) while the actual line moves above the predictive trend which has been changed to a 4th order polynomial. ![]()

Those workers need to have had at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose by now, with the deadline for that passing on October 22. So, there will be no need to check each workers status, as their employer would have already had a legal obligation to do that.

All double vaxers get "V2" tattooed on their forehead! No tat no service. And, and, and - each booster gets a star. So "V2***" is a double vaxed person with 3 booster shots. I tell youse blokes, I'm more than just a pretty face. |

The ridiculous thing is the government is forcing business's to do this, and leaving them to deal with the outcomes. A lot of these young hospitality workers will be left to cop the brunt of this, while the government staff who created this don't have to go within a mile of it. Slimy. I wonder how long it will take before someone gets bashed over it? It's only going to take one nutter in a bad mood. Doesn't take much to trigger some people these days. |

I agree that it is not an ideal position to have businesses 'police' this themselves, but I can't see any practical alternate.

Statistically, it’s fast becoming odds-on that customers are fully vaccinated in NSW. By last midnight, around 86,5 percent of 16+ adults. Makes checking this detail near redundant, easy to see why the state government put an end date on this.

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT October 27th 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 1,840 new cases for Australia and 16 deaths so the CMR is 1.019%. 77 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.475%. The UK had 43,453 cases yesterday and 263 deaths for a CMR of 1.579%. 82,062 new cases in the USA yesterday and 1,776 deaths sees CMR at 1.635%. Note that the CMR has started to rise again after falling steadily the last two months. Other notable points: Europe moves above the 90th percentile for case numbers; Oceania passes 300k cases with 54.3% of those coming from Australia (along with 46.2% of the deaths); Estonia (2,025) - the previous high on 11/03/2021; Latvia (3,206); and Singapore (5,324) ... recorded new highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day. Finland and South Korea move above the 90th percentile for the 10 day period while no countries drop below.

Times change and we, as a human race, need to adapt to that change. Otherwise we'll go the way of the dinosaur or dodo. And it's not permanent. It's plain to see already that the controls put in place are being wound back as the impacts are able to be controlled using other measures. Short term pain for long term gain, IMHO.

My daughter was watching the Victorian presentatin with no Dan, no Brett and No Jerone, this is what she messaged me:
No more Drs certificate to say you are exempt from covid vaccine. Drs now need to lodge a form to Australian immunisation register and they will decide if they don't need a vax. Even those that have a Drs certificate now have 2 weeks to lodge a form. Then the certificate to say they are exempt from covid Vax will be linked to my govts account like ours are.
