TRANSCRIPT:
ScoMo: "Cause as you know, any venue, any venue, any pub, any cafe, any restaurant, any shop, can, has every right under Australia's property laws, um, to, to be able to deny, um, entry to people who were unvaccinated."

Journo: "Like a vaccine passport..."

"Well they have that right to be able to deny that. And so the QR code reader can be used as a way of just so it's easy for people. You just go in, like you normally do right now. And it will show whether you've vaccinated or not. Now for premises that are allowing unvaccinated people in, it also helps us. Because when they log in and if we know they are unvaccinated, they're the first people we're going to call, for their safety. So these QR code readers that tell people whether you're vaccinated or not are actually helping those who are unvaccinated as well, where they're allowed to go to places."

"Do you want to say these sort of certificates though? Effectively they're passports."

"Well that's not how I refer to them. What I refer to them... People have the certificates of vaccination. Um, I have one and we all have them. Of course, we have them for many other things as well. And you're going to need them for international travel as well."
