SP said..OK. Just wondering as I hadn't heard anyone in a decision making position say it was going to be mandatory and even heard The current chief medical officer, Murphy has left, advocating against a mandatory vaccination.
The gov own corona response plan doesn't mention mandatory vaccinations either.
It might get to a quid pro quo in that you can't enter Australia or do certain things without testing or being vaccinated but that's a long way down the track from where we are now where there is no vaccine. And even if there is will it be widely available enough to treat everyone?
The interesting one will be if overseas country mandate it for incoming travellers.
And if you do get a choice that isn't really mandatory or forcing, it's a decision people will need to make like with a lot of other vaccines at present.
The mandatory vaccine bit seems to have been started an pushed by anti Vax groups that have a broader agenda then just Covid.
www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN20S1RU Murphy has stood down from public representation but still holds a role in the decision making process, government officials make decisions based upon advice from "the experts" of which Murphy still remains. An earlier press conference has him wishing to return to "incognito" mode, I made reference to him doing this fairly recently.

I Absolutely agree! Its not just your own governments decision, the law of the lands you would like to visit also come into play. Meaning, say if your in Western Australia but would like to see your family in Japan. You need both the permission of at present the state government you reside in Australia plus the permission of the destination you wish to visit & god help you if you need to stoppover in a place that prevents your travel hopes.
I have not mentioned "mandatory vaccine" from third party input, like I stated in the post you appear to have responded too. The rhetoric seems to be pushing that way from people directly related to the legislation of our country.

Yes I absolutely agree & this is one of my main concerns. I fully expect a great deal of time to pass before conditions support the requirements of leading an unimpeded life.
