A player has the right not to be vaccinated, but similarly the other players have the right to be protected from him.
Shadow Minister,
Exactly ! It's simple matter of consideration & care .

yes, I agree with most here, individual has right, but society must also make decisions that protect society.

That is what a liberal democracy is about: balancing the importance of the liberal and democratic dimensions, albeit the importance of each will vary from issue to issue

Let NRL sort it out. They are continually demonstrating how smart they are: Folau, that silly woman.

" [The States] can dictate requirements for those entering their jurisdictions"

Maybe. But this isn't being dictated by the states. Its being dictated by the NRL, admittedly while they have the states hold a gun to their head.

The flu vaccine has been around for years, n'est pas? But plenty of players have played in past years without having had the jab. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall the sky falling in in those past years. Were great swathes of players struck down after being breathed upon during an errant tackle?

So what was acceptable in the past, is suddenly verboten. What's changed? Well the closet totalitarians have had a taste of petty power and have found that they quite like the idea of micro-managing other people's lives. And they have no intention of letting up.

"If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever." Orwell

so its obvious not many have confidence in the flue jab because they think the 1% who refuse can harm the 99% who have the jab. Interesting the afl are not going down the same draconian path.

A flu Jab could be part of the rules in NRL.
