Is there a legal precedent to this? How is a major airline allowed to take it upon themselves to mandate medical decisions on behalf of the public?
By comparison, would it be acceptable for insurance companies, telcos, or energy providers to deny their products/services to a large part of the country based on similar criteria?
Eg - anyone who's ever had an abortion is not eligible for this power plan. Too bad for you, guessing you'll have to learn to start a fire or freeze to death.
This is truly absurd.
Qantas will ban travellers who don't have the COVID vaccine — can other businesses follow suit?
@1st-Amendment: That you were conflating two arguments that had nothing to do with each other and also throwing out straw men like they were on special - i have neither the time nor the inclination to go through the whole thread and point them out to you.
How about two specific items:
1) talking about precedents and saying Alan Joyce is trying to make a law when as multiple people have pointed out to you there IS a precedent - (Yellow Fever) and he's not trying to make a law but set conditions under which his private company will provide a service, which there are literally hundreds of thousands of precedents for? Oh that's right you keep saying it's a government controlled monopoly - show me a route that only Qantas operates on domestically where they are not subject to competition, from Virgin, previously from tiger and in future from Rex.
2) How about your ridiculous assertion that he's making this rule alone or in a vacuum? Multiple people have pointed out to you that the airlines are all doing this together, that there will likely be some sort of electronic vaccination passport? He can't invent or enforce that on his own as you would know if you knew anything AT ALL about how airlines operate.
Read the article, take a deep breath and also stop the random trump promotion and attacks on the left that have nothing to do with the matter at hand.
