it sounds wrong, on the account of I never had my "ability to buy groceries" taken away from me without proving my vaccination status, I've only ever seen it used for travel purposes.
- dwd 4mo agoDepends where you lived. There were a few grocery stores in Australia that banned entry without proof of vaccination at the time. It was also widely discussed. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-06/morrison-businesses-refusing-unvaccinated-customers/100512488 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-06/morrison-businesses-r... https://www.news.com.au/world/coronavirus/australia/supermarkets-could-exclude-unvaccinated-in-change-to-queensland-jab-rules/news-story/78affdd5d163a50738d0658b89793655 https://www.news.com.au/world/coronavirus/australia/supermar...
- fl4regun 4mo agoboth of those appear to be that businesses are allowed to refuse, not forced to refuse. In general, businesses are allowed to refuse business to whomever they want, where the law has exceptions for which things you aren't allowed to discriminate against: religion, race, sex, etc. At least this is how the law works in Canada, I am willing to bet Australia is very similar.
- dwd 4mo agoYes, very much the same as both countries' laws evolved from Common Law, and have legislated for Human Rights in line with UNESCO.
