They are coming for us next.
The COVID-19 Public Health Response (Vaccinations) Order 2021 passed its 2nd reading Wednesday night. This legislation will allow for:
- The lockdown of unvaccinated or insufficiently vaccinated individuals.
- The ability to restrict travel within the country to unvaccinated or insufficiently vaccinated (e.g. a person who does not want to get a booster shot).
- Withhold certification from those who do not get required boosters or subsequent combinations of vaccines as may be ordered at any time.
- The ability to dictate the type and form of certification required for proof of vaccination status — digital or otherwise.
- The ability to dictate what other information may be required for the renewal of vaccine certificates, and which information may be contained on such a certificate.
- The period for which a vaccine certificate is valid can be changed at any time, and who it is that may be entitled or eligible to have these certificates.
- The specification of mandates for entire job sectors.
- The ordering of certain jobs to require regular mandatory testing and medical examination.
- Enforcement officers to be able to demand certification, pretty much at any time.
- The appointment of enforcement officers that can be anybody they wish to appoint, and not necessarily police.
- Enforcement officers to inspect and take copies of certification to be verified at a later date, before immediately returning such documentation.
- The provision of an assessment tool for employers to use to determine who should be vaccine mandated, however employers can totally disregard the assessment tool and mandate at whim.
- Legal or other representatives of employees may be refused entry to workplaces.
- Contact tracing information may be used against a person in order to enforce the Act.
- Employees who have been dismissed for non-compliance of testing or vaccination, but comply at the last minute, may still be dismissed if the employer deems revoking the dismissal to be disruptive of their business.
Very true - we had our "Bill of rights" but that no longer applies apparently. Would need to be tested in court.
