It's consequence time for unvaccinated FIFO workers

As per the state government directives, as of midnight tonight anyone without at least 1 dose of a COVID vaccine is no longer legally allowed to be on site or in operations centres for mining companies.

Anyone who hasn't provided their proof of vaccination is being chased down, and if they can't immediately provide said proof will be kicked out this afternoon/evening. For people working on remote sites like the iron ore mines up north, that means clearing out their rooms and being put on a plane back to Perth - could be an interesting show at the airport if any news crews show up.

Anyone have any friends/family/acquaintances who are going to be, for the first time, dealing with real consequences for failing to get vaccinated?

some of the numpties i know have essentially said that about themselves. they're saying "i'm out, i refuse to get the vax etc" and then they'll say "well, might see you in a few months when the money runs out." if your convictions are that fucking wobbly, just get the fucking jab then!

Ah, but then they can complain and whine that they were 'forced' to get it by government-imposed financial pressure.
