Or we just send those that refuse to be vaccinated to the middle to the middle of nowhere where they start their own colony.

I think the best way would be to deny vaccine refuseniks access to Medicare benefits.Or we just send those that refuse to be vaccinated to the middle to the middle of nowhere where they start their own colony.
If the various governments were serious about it they have many levers they can pull to make vaccinations mandatory ie no entry to restaurants, domestic flights or cut off dole payments
Can those not lucky enough to be boomers please keep it civil!!!!
Eight day turnaround for a passport application two weeks ago.
This has been the case for ever - just think about all those Aussies travelling overseas who would have loved the Govt to jump in and bail them out when they fell ill (whatever the cause) because they weren't covered by travel insurance.
This sounds good, until you get into the numbers of people who won't get it or won't treat it as something they need to do as soon as it is available to them. If the opening of borders requires a high uptake of vaccines - what is being done to "encourage" swift uptake when available?‘We need a plan’: Victoria, NSW want vaccine targets linked to borders reopening
State governments and health experts have insisted the federal government spell out clearly how the vaccine rollout relates to the reopening of international borders as Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Sunday urged caution in the face of global outbreaks.
Acting Premier James Merlino said Australia could begin winding back restrictions once a greater proportion of the population had been vaccinated, agreeing with Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton that we could no longer act as “Fortress Australia”.

State governments and health experts are agitating for an end to the ‘Fortress Australia’ mentality that has kept our borders closed to the world.www.theage.com.au
Not quite that simple bearing in mind long covid.
Superficially, it seems that the odds of long covid drop significantly with the vaccine - in other words, the illness is less severe so less chances of long covid. A whole bunch of NY Yankees and trainers who are vaccinated all just got covid - but they only knew from testing - no one seems to have actually fallen ill.
That is ignoring that steps are being taken to speed up the rollout. It is wrong to assume that the rollout will continue at the pace it's been done at in recent weeks.
I want to believe they will start getting more supply and thus have the potential to ramp up the vaccine rate - however, this requires a significant number of people to be willing to do so, and I'm simply not convinced there will be. I've had my first AZ, in a few weeks I will get my 2nd...now I am waiting so that I can visit my USA-based parents/extended family.
Yes that's true, but for example there have been medevac flights for people caught in natural disasters or terrorism - the Aceh Tsunami and the Bali bombings being two that spring to mind.
They need a scare tactic to get a lot of the population to pull there finger out. Once elected October/November, Scomo leaves it to Feb 2022, then gives a deadline of 30/6/2022 then borders open for all vaccinated in and out, with no quarantine (unless maybe known red zones).
