everyone has a basic right to not be vaxinated
however, if you belong to an organisation that requires you to have a vaxination, as in healthcare workers, then you get a choice.
be vaxinated or find another job.
private businesses have rules/regulations staff must abide by in order for a person to work for them.
Yes everybody does have the right not to be vaccinated. I wasn't aware that NRL had a requirement for its players to be vaccinatedf. If so then I'm shocked. But I disagree that people should look for another job just because a private business wants this (or rather is told to want this). This is discrimination!

the govt stipulates when you join the public service you sign the secrets act.
we saw that incident with the man playing rugby spouting homophobic carp
the rugby people had a position on that kind of thing
have an opinion by all means but keep it to yourself, or else go play elsewhere.
sadly that wound up being lawyers at 20 paces, and rugby kinda folded, not wanting to risk losing.
so, my stance is, if the agreement between players and assosiation is we will get vaxinated so the competition can continue
get vaxinated or dont play.
Signing a secrets act isn't reallly comparable to being vaccinated. Actuallly two very different scenarios.
OK, the man you refer to who was spouting homophobic carp. Well obviously you're referring to Mr. Folau. Well he wasn't actually. In his misguided release of what is contained in the Bible, the reference to homosexuality was one in list of other references to other practices condemned by the Bible which included fornicators, drunkards etc., etc. Yes Mr. Folau should have thought first about what he decided to post as it has hurt the feelings of a group of people. Strangely enough, the media has seen fit to concentrate on one aspect of it. IMO, nothing homophobic or even indicative of promoting the temperace movement. I bet with all the negativity attatched to alcohol consumption, the liquor industry has been slow to have a go at him.
I respect your opinion Dave but if there is such a rule t that players get vaccinated then it is wrong. Once uponn a time in a Western country in the Southern states, a "Negro" wasn't allowed to drink from a water fountain or use the rest room facility that a white man used. They had to give up their seat on a bus for a white person.. Those rules were wrong and they were changed.

a player cant go through the rules and pick n choose the rules he will abide by
what, no biting? cant agree to that!
no sticking my finger in an oponents butt? cant agree to that!
no head high tackles? cant agree to that!
ect ect
rules are there for all
they are not a pick n choose option
It's not about pciking and choosing Dave. Sorry, again I have to disagree mmate. It's about a person's fundemental right not to have a foreign substance injected into his / her body. That right must be respected for what ever reason that indiviidual gives.
I hear what you're saying about the other things like the "butt" touching which actually is similar to the person's right to refuse the vaccination. The touuching is about respecting personal space. And biting and high tackles can cause immediate and potential serious injury.
This is not a pick and choose option. It's one of sovereignty! Also flu vaccines can cause damage fto some people. Some people have been permanently disabled as a result. It's not a "one size fits all" solution either.
Today there are many many more cases of alzheimers and other illnesses in relation to the population size than there ever were.
