Vaccinated Patrons Only: Two Owners Tell Us Why They Agree


Listen Later

A vaccinated patrons only policy for bars and entertainment venues is supposed to come into force from the beginning of August. In this episode two proprietors tell us why they agree that such a policy is necessary. These are just two voices on the subject. Many more for and against will be heard as this debate goes on. The announcement, made recently by Information Minister Melford Nicholas has led to a surge in debate over vaccination and the freedom to refuse it, and the consequences of being unvaccinated. Many people are angry at the government for taking the move. And even those who support it are wondering whether it could be operationalized by the beginning of August, and how well it could be enforced. 

The host is Kieron Murdoch. The guests are:

  1. Walter O'Reilly, operates Cafeque, the new café restaurant located on the boardwalk, Redcliffe Quay. The café serves both locals and tourists but is particularly suited to cruise visitors.
