Re: The Reality of Living in Australia and Covid
Lets hope this takes off elsewhere....
Maybe it's not the slam dunk on freedoms and rights that they think it will be?

Not real very bright.

Many people have gotten used to living in their own closed border bubbles to the point they are apprehensive of interstaters arriving or venturing outside (their own state) themselves, some even think having travelling freedoms removed has been great.
Personally, while I understand and agree with most of the restrictions and the reasons for them over the pandemic, the restrictions on freely travelling within my own country are starting to wear thin, the day that I can again freely travel anywhere within Australia when I want to, and without question, cannot come soon enough.
I would not describe anything about the last two years as “awesome” ….

I'd like to see that research - Can I have the link.
Also How the hell do people know if you've had the vax or not if its not being asked for by the business owner? Sounds like more propaganda to me.

Dumbugger shopkeepers in New Zealand tend to put up signs saying 'all welcome' or 'unvaxxed welcome' - its a bit of a giveaway.
I've only been asked to show proof ( it comes up automatically when you do the QR code thing ) twice. Once at an optometrists in NSW, once at a Melbourne restaurant.
NSW is pretty much scrapping QR codes, mandates, etc etc in a fortnight.
Its on Sky , it must be true
