Sounded like he was already on the liquid confidence if you ask me.........

Good thing nobody asked you.

It is a bit hypocritical of the golf industry.
"We should be able to play golf during the lockdown. You can't catch COVID playing our sport."
Nek minnut.
"No jab. No play."

Easy way to open up the books for a raft of new nomination fees.

This is an extremely intelligent and well thought out written statement coming from the Captain of Royal Melbourne - he cant enforce this, and wouldnt be surprised if a cheeky lawyer takes this on a challenge.

Club captain Andrew Kirby made it clear there would be exemptions for those whose medical conditions ruled out a jab, but declared zero tolerance for anti-vaxxers.

“A legitimate medical reason will not be: I am waiting for Pfizer; I could not get a vaccination appointment yet; I don’t trust the vaccines, the vaccines are a conspiracy to embed us with 5G network tracking devices etc,” Mr Kirby wrote.

No medical exemption certificate will ever state a reason for exemption, and it will be unlawful to force someone to reveal what their exemption is.

As there are no such "vax laws" yet covering public life, we can only draw conclusions from Mask wearing explanations on the respective State health websites, such as QLD says it is an unlawful human rights violation if a person is discriminated against for not wearing a mask if they have a lawful reason not to, and they do not have to provide any proof of that. One doesnt even have to say which lawful reason it is.

FWIW the NSW exemption certificate specifically describes that level of detail and requires a doctor to separately sign off that a patient is medically contraindicated to each vaccine. It’s very rare to be contraindicated from both (and soon to be 3) of them. And NSW residents are required to carry with them at all times proof of their lawful reason to not wear a mask, albeit those are easier to get and include a stat dec. Businesses in NSW can absolutely refuse service to unmasked people without repercussion (possibly other than providing life saving healthcare). No idea about the other states though.

Thanks for sharing, The NSW rules are unique in respect of the requirement to carry the proof of lawful reason to not wear a mask. Doesnt say it has to be shown on request by anyone, except for this
"If you are in a situation where masks are mandatory, a police officer can ask you to confirm the lawful reason you are not wearing a face mask." Thus, only the Police have the right to ask.

Businesses in NSW can absolutely refuse service to unmasked people without repercussion (possibly other than providing life saving healthcare). .

I do see this described on this page somewhat, but its rather vague on what a businesses obligations are to those lawfully exempted, other than to say "they should be familiar with the exceptions and speak to the person to understand their circumstances."

I am not sure if there could be possibly no repercussions, whatever human rights violation was described on the QLD website is originating from all that socialist international human rights rubbish from Euro, which trumps local laws and commonsense.

Races are on there, crowds allowed in, I hope so cause I’d give anything to do that right now!

There are even a few backpackers around the place (must be some of the few left in the country). I saw some at one of the local beaches a week ago - no pics though, the company I was with would not have approved.

Boooo!

It wouldn’t surprise. Shut it down for a few days and see how things go with school holidays coming up.

Places in Sunnybank have been added to the list of exposure sites. They’re always crowded.

It would be brave decision by any member to launch court action against RM and not end up an outcast.

Maybe there would have been a lockdown in the past, but there are NRL finals to consider.

As the article says the members support the idea and members who sue clubs like this don’t tend to last long.

Many years ago a guy at a club near me sued the club after he was suspended, he was caught cheating (inflating his handicap and he was a low single figure) in open events at other clubs.

He managed to win but nobody would play in his group so he left.

That’s all I was referring to.

Yep, right on queue to distract us from the euthanasia legislation that’s going to parliament very shortly.

All good, I knew what you meant. I was just being flippant. I just meant they're gonna be an outcast if they sue or not.
