Aussie veteran and former techie here. I have just bought myself a 2T van and started working as a contract driver/courier in a complete change of career. One, because I am older and own my own home so don't have the need to be raking in the big $$ anymore, and two, because I don't want to play office politics or deal with any vax mandate bullshit. I am working for one of the largest logistics companies up in Queensland. There is no vax mandate for us and I don't think they will put one in place because they know that the majority of drivers are not vaxd and the whole logistics tail is already dragging. If they took out a large number of drivers the whole of Aus would collapse. Everything is so freaking far apart and we don't have a good rail system to move goods, so everything goes by road. My experience of dealing with covid bs is that I have not had any issues doing deliveries to anywhere. I don't see anyone using the QR codes to sign into businesses and less than 1% of people would have a mask on, even in medical and dental clinics I deliver to. From the 17th of this month our dictator Anastacia has implemented the lock out of us dirty unwashed antivaxrs from restaurants, pubs, clubs, sporting events, etc, but we can still do essential shopping. They are supposedly going to force shop keepers to monitor customers QR code logins and check that their digital vax certificate is valid. Good luck with that, I don't sign into anywhere, I just walk straight in and have never been challenged. Most of the shop keepers I have spoken to about this say that they don't have the time or inclination to do it and don't want to turn away any customers. I am sure that there will be the obligatory news article about a random shopkeeper who was fined for not doing the right thing to try and scare the rest in to compliance, but seriously I think this is all just going to fall over. They are promoting this as, "if you want your freedom, then get your jab" in the hope that it will make people just take the shot so they can do stuff again, I think it will have the opposite affect. People who haven't taken it now are not going to be swayed into taking it because they can't go to a restaurant or pub. Fuck it, I will eat and drink at home and not pay exorbitant prices for some wanker to slap some meat and veggies on a plate when my wife and I can most likely do a better job. Will provide more info after 17 Dec once they have implemented this bs.
