Interesting, maybe he's right then and it is a lot more sinister. Still have my doubts though, I'm firmly in the incompetence camp rather than conspiracy camp. Shame for those who'll have to produce documentation in public and share what's 'wrong' with them when they maybe wanted to keep it private but at least it will let others feel safe.

Although it's been renamed to an "Opportunity Pass" ! https://txti.es/covid-pass/images Sorry folks, I just do not want to live like that, for any amount of time and for any reason. Never in my dreams would I imagine we'd be heading to a segregated, show papers style society, without even a whimper. Remember you and your kids will need all your boosters to keep your "opportunities" active. Imagine turning away sick people from medical treatment cos they dont want a 3rd or a yearly booster?! I can only hope those in Australia, and across the world, who ARE fighting this can get some form of victory and maybe influence the UK's path... cos it seems nobody here is gonna fight it.

WHY is BBC censoring the Australian vaccine certificate protests and violence against the public? Anyone? ... I'll take a stab at it: 1. People aren't very interested in what's happening in Australia 2. Australia has been held up as some kind of gold standard in dealing with Covid by the media when actually it's been a disaster and to highlight that highlights the media got it wrong too 3. The BBC is generally quite soft in their reporting of things and tend to avoid the more graphic nature of events in their reporting I sense it's a lot of one, a bit of 2 and a bit more of 3.

In general, yes, if this was hum drum Australian politics or something nobody is interested. However, as we are on the way to vaccine passports too then lots should be interested. Also I reckon if this was Chinese, Russian, North Korean governments etc shooting and beating the public it would be all over the news... Points 2 and 3 I agree with though . Although I still think one bigger reason for the censorship .... but keen to hear other views.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
