“European countries have provided this by implementing a vaccine pass, which gives people freedom to attend restaurants, sporting events, major concerts and domestic travel,” Mr McEwan said. “Australia needs its own national vaccine pass, providing similar freedoms, ready to launch when we reach 80 per cent.
