and its only going to go up, not down.
the fishing has started heating up, and with that unfortunately comes fisherman who are travelling a long way from home, from high risk suburbs to pretty much everywhere else. doing the right thing according to the CHO almost seems useless now.
Altona is packed already, most boats there would be from the west side which is pretty much hot spots all around.
Last I heard the unpaid fines which are not being contested in court are being handed over to the sheriff..
If its true then it's going to get very interesting..
Personally I don't have the time to put aside to go to court for this. I've stuck to my 15k 4 hour limit the one time I went fishing.
Many ramps are packed already, I'm not liking the chaos come time to open up tbh being snapper season, ramp rage will be on fire!!!
Back in lockdown again.

COVID-19 vaccines as a control measure
The COVID-19 vaccine is one control measure for COVID-19. It should be considered part of a broader range of controls to reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19 in workplaces.
Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (OHS Act) employers must identify whether there is a risk to the health of their employees from exposure to COVID-19 at their workplace.
Where a risk is identified, employers must eliminate the risk, so far as is reasonably practicable. When elimination is not possible, they must reduce the risk so far as reasonably practicable.
The controls an employer uses will vary depending on the situation, as well as the availability and suitability of controls for each workplace.
Employers need to continue implementing control measures to reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19 according to the hierarchy of controls."
So if you control a work place you have the choice of being sued under human rights legislation or being sued under work cover. How many businesses are going to keep going with all this on their plate

There's nothing . . . absolutely nothing . . . half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats.

Re: Back in lockdown again.
Interesting that he doesn’t touch on the idea that people might have a right to be protected from death or disease. Also did lol at him conflating medical experimentation with getting a vaccine.

Re: Back in lockdown again.
The thing about WorkSafe is they come and close you down if they believe your workplace is unsafe. You need to go through the process of proving it is safe. Human rights it takes someone to take you to court and prove their case. I think I would worry about meeting WorkSafe guidelines first

FWC have ruled vaccines cannot be mandated by employers on health and safety grounds.
If you go through the extensive detail they provide the summary is mandatory vaccination cannot be justified.

Re: Back in lockdown again.
You can choose to be vaccinated, wear a mask and take precautions to prevent catching covid.
Keep in mind the risk of serious illness or death once vaccinated is similar to the flu. There are also treatments which greatly further reduce your risk when combined with the vaccine covid is non issue.
There is passed precedent of medical experiments using vaccines so it is relevant and setting a mandatory precedent has many future implications.

Re: Back in lockdown again.
Meanwhile I have to show my vax cert to go into places and I have to enforce it at a place I control. I thing I will let the lawmakers sort that one out.
If I get sued by the time it gets to court I will be too old to care.
As far as showing my cert, I couldn't give a rats. I was first inline in the que when I became eligible.
