Western Sydney-based Liberal MP Tanya Davies described the "no jab, no job" policy as an "attack" on the people of NSW and a form of "discrimination". "This legislation will maintain appropriate balance for certain industries such as health, aged care and transport." "The stakeholders and businesses who have spoken to government about how we can get workers back to work, especially from those areas of high concern at the moment, have been very positive and constructive," she said.
