Keep up the good fight Slippery - you folks in Adelaide have had the good fortune of not a single sizeable covid outbreak and have been relatively open compared to other places but you're a victim

You wouldn't know what oppression was if it smacked you in the face

you guys got locked down due to rampant covid cases, as did NSW. This is understandable. Restrictions when there's been no community cases for months is vastly different.

Whatever you want to call it, I suspect it will be too hard to police for SOME businesses will be others happy to comply.

It's a business choice, don't require it if you don't intend to implement it properly. Most businesses won't make it compulsory. If the govt won't mandate it under their legislative power, why should a business overrule the best advice?

Some of the measures do appear to be a bit silly given the apparent level of risk. That said the tiny minority that are carrying on like they are being marched off to death camps because they have to wear a mask, they really are a bunch of wet limpets.

SA is a compliant state, mostly. People will rock up to the Oval with their Vaccination PDFs/printouts for the Ashes and first few BBL games.

By the time AFL kicks off the country will be 90%+ vaccinated and it'll be random checks by a security guard, akin to the pat-downs they do, just to keep people alert.

Apparently they will also require people to present their tickets for entry, facism!

Dion Prestia tests positive to COVID, has been around the club apparently.

Going to be interesting how the AFL handles players catching it in March/April.

EDIT: Noah Balta as well

It is the threat of a fine if they are caught, that stop most people, and there will be random checks.
What fine?

These are individual businesses making the choice to only allow double vaxed customers.


No law has been passed mandating it.

It is not about entry it's about lying about your vaccination status
And laws about forging an official document have been around for a long time.

And the fine may come in a form of a ban from a venue or an individual business.

You can lie to nearly anyone about your vaccination status. And a fine is not the same as a ban, just admit you got it wrong.

No Mate because in Australia there is a Penalty for using forge documentation, and has been for a while.
And Yes a venue or Business may only ban you, but if they report that you used a forged commonwealth document that is a fine and possible jail time.
You do understand the Covid vaccination certificate or Passport is an official Commonwealth documentation
Here is a Hint the giveaway is the Australian Coat of Arms at the top of the form.

So yea most people will follow the rules and not lie or use false documentation.
