I'll admit it, I wasn't for it straight away. Quite hesitant to be honest but I changed my mind. Got first dose getting second dose at end of the month. The lockdown/freedom stuff did push me into jumping the gun. End of the day I still chose to get it done. Plus I want to get to Japan god dammit!!
The wheels are in motion jerry

With new freedoms for fully vaccinated people on the horizon in New South Wales, you'll soon need to be able to prove your immunisation status.
Australians will be handed a new pass for overseas travel, after it was announced the Federal Government had selected an IT firm to develop the technology for a new ‘digital border’ document.
In a joint statement with Minister Stuart Robert and Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews, the new Digital Passport Declaration (DPD) – developed by IT firm Accenture – would replace the physical incoming passenger card and the Covid-19 Australian Travel Declaration web form.
The new digital passport will essentially capture a passenger’s vaccination status up to 72 hours prior to boarding, with the information obtained within the pass – such as travel, health and vaccine status – able to be shared with the Federal Government, state and territory public health authorities.
