Unvaccinated Australians Will Be Barred From Major Sporting Events

by Michael Curzon
2 August 2021 11:55 AM

Australians will soon need to have proof of full vaccination to visit major sporting venues as state premiers prepare the ground for the introduction of vaccine passports. The Premier of New South Wales said in a press conference on Monday: “Any incentives we can provide to encourage people to get vaccinated and stick to the health restrictions, that is our priority.” Mail Australia has the story.

Plans are already underway to make vaccine passports mandatory in New South Wales while a similar approach is being considered in Victoria.

Fans will need to have both Covid jabs to visit a stadium and watch big sporting events like the NRL, AFL, or cricket.

Venues NSW Chairman Tony Shepherd will put forward his proposal to the State Government in the next few weeks and hopes they will be approved by next year. 

“If you choose not to have the jab that is your civil right in a free country but the Delta strain is extremely transmissible and we need to do something to reopen our stadiums,” he told the Daily Telegraph. 

“The venues will have to say you can’t attend. Simple as that.” …

[Victoria] Premier Daniel Andrews said at a press conference on July 21st that officials would make an “informed discussion” about reopening games to vaccinated residents.

“[The vaccine] will be here September, October, November… then I think we can have an informed discussion and say: ‘Right, we’re at X%, here’s all the benefits that might flow from that’,” he said. 

The Premier said vaccinated fans being able to attend games would be part of a wider attempt to incentivise people to get the jab.

As you say, liberalism has become illiberalism. Do as I say, not as I do.

Liberalism – just a queer brightly coloured clothing ensemble covering the gestapo uniform and jackboots underneath.

Liberalism is no more. Get real.

And read the late Kenneth Minogue’s obituary of Liberalism from 2010; were he still with us he would be horrified at how rapidly the West has collapsed in the face of Woke.

RIP Western Civilisation. I shudder at what will come in its wake.

Definition is indeed the problem. Whereas it used to mean libertarian lite and free trade. Now it means left, socially libertarian but economically restrictive with price controls and a big state.

“socially libertarian” Sort of. Libertarian with regard to abortion, sexual behaviour but not with regard to freedom of speech.

“Will cited Covid vaccines – one of the most significant Government projects in Western history”

We can state with total conviction that the C1984 “vaccines” were and remain “one of the most significant Government projects in Western history”

I presume the significance referred to is all the excess deaths so far, those to come, the loss of the capacity to have children and the life-shortening impacts on those who fell for the injections. Significant indeed.

This George Will either neglected to research his subject before engaging vocal chords or he’s not particularly bright.

Also significant in terms of forcing people to have untested “medical treatments” at their own expense, and establishing a new protocol for “testing” and “authorising” “safe” and “effective” “medical treatments”. Also not sure why he refers to them as “vaccines” when they are clearly nothing of the sort.

Decades ago, liberalism had been referred to as a Trojan horse for communism. Why not use that as a definition? Given recent history, might as well apply the same definition to conservatism.

Insofar the so-called west is or was partially liberal, this was always a liberal-for-some-elite pseudoliberalism. In Germany, pensioners privately discussing politics may find themselves in the crosshairs of the inland secret service once their discussions stray to far from permitted topics and will ultimatively end up being arrested – to much international fanfare – as right-wing terrorists just for doing that — privately discussing politics. That’s a core feature of the political system western liberals have installed there.

Odd that this organisation should invite a loyal member of the Conservative Party to speak. This man is no classical liberal he went along with all the authoritarian Covid measures and mostly follows the fake Conservative Party line.
