and if you aren't they will continue to employee you on a work from home basis until COVID disappears? If so you have a benign and/or generous employer.

There's currently zero pressure to go into the office but I can't see a scenario after a sense of normality is restored where I won't be required to go in, at least occasionally.
FWIW I thought incentives were extremely generous for something most will do without prompting. If the incentives changed anyone's mind then they're looking at it all wrong IMO.
so far Andrews is only acting on CHO recommendations - hence he is not moving to mandate vax for public servants. And on your argument if he ever will act autonomously, we will be waiting until the work cover case is finalised as he cannot pre-empt the outcome.Heads up, there is a tier 1 exposure site at Australia Post Tullamarine. Express Post is highly unlikely to be delivered today.
Starting to wonder if Stig is Bernie Finn. That would explain a lot.
actually, there is a smoking gun. just not the smoking gun Andrews critics want. One of the obvious things to come out of this inquiry is that COVID is a health and safety issue. If Workcover are laying charges against VIC Health for not maintaining a safe workplace by exposing staff to COVID, this will give the state government a mandate to enforce vaccines at all VIC workplaces… And also for people who enter workplaces.
Isn’t it ironic that the anti-lockdown/antii-vaxxers who are calling for Andrews to be sacked may end up finding themselves out of a job
I am still not sure what the new normal is going to look like, a look at Portugal at 85% vaccinated:

Portugal has nearly run out of people to vaccinate. What comes next?
The country is dismantling its vaccine centres. Lisbon is triumphant: a city of live music and partying. But it’s not enough.

Interesting article. Portugal still has ~18K dead - more than Sweden with its comparable population.I am still not sure what the new normal is going to look like, a look at Portugal at 85% vaccinated:

New serious Covid side effect , (H/S report of course).
** I'll be sure to steer clear of anyone scratching their arse from now on.

In a world first, a Covid patient in Japan has been diagnosed with “restless anal syndrome”.** I'll be sure to steer clear of anyone scratching their arse from now on.
"Hundreds of thousands of Victorians will be forced to be vaccinated against Covid 'if they want to continue working', Daniel Andrews has said.
The Premier on Friday said every Victorian worker currently in the authorised worker list would have to be vaccinated or would be unable to work onsite.
Mr Andrews said the vaccine mandate would help avoid seeing Victoria’s hospital system become overwhelmed.
Workers will need to be fully vaccinated by November 26."

depends on whether the public servant is an authorised worker like myself. Very happy with Andrews press release today. Its just a shame we had to wait til mid-October to implement this. If only we'd reached this point 4-5 months ago, then we wouldn't be in lockdown now.
Nope, if staff are vaccinated then the employer has done all they can and cannot be considered liable.
Yep, and good for them. Only people who could not see the importance of vaccination at a national, state, employer and individual levels could not see this coming.
Hahahahahahaha the superspreader is dead.
What a shame it wasn't before she put the country at risk.
*smile* off you *smile*.

before or after the vaccine?
He delivered his message night after night in Portuguese TV studios, dressed in military fatigues to convey the sense of a war.
here in Australia there were people upset when we put a general in charge of ours..... the uniform sends the wrong message, scares migrants, blah blah
Posted numerous times to News Corp that she should've been made to resign last year. Blocked every time.
But that was predominantly all in the wave that hit western europe on 2020. Daily deaths at the moment are in the single digits.
