Shadow Minister for Women and Education Tanya Plibersek says the requirement for businesses to check the vaccination statuses of all customers is “tough to ask”.
“I think it is very very hard particularly for small businesses, small businesses that want to welcome vaccinated staff have someone checking the status of people walking through the front door,” she told Sky News Australia.
“It is tough to ask that of every business but I know as a consumer, I would be looking for businesses who can assure me to that I dealing with vaccinated staff and that other customers are vaccinated as well.”
Ms Plibersek the “inconvenience is real” for businesses and this should not be ignored but it is necessary until more people are fully vaccinated.
