Australians are slowly learning the perils of handing emergency powers to politicians under investigation. 

Until recently, the NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian insisted that everyone must be vaccinated because the unvaccinated were a public health risk.

Now she wants to save them from themselves:

"We cannot afford to have the unvaccinated exposed to venues and we can’t afford to have the unvaccinated susceptible to disease, to get disease.

Ms Berejiklian said no adults in the state should be hesitant to get AstraZeneca and that there will be little sympathy from her when the unvaccinated are left behind in the reopening.

"There is no reason why anybody over a certain age should not have got the vaccine," she said. "I’ve had the AstraZeneca. I’ve 50 years old. I’ve had the AstraZeneca.

"Nobody of a certain age should have any hesitancy with the AstraZeneca.

"And it’s really important to know that when we open up, those that are unvaccinated won’t be allowed to to other things because they will be exposed.

"That is why at 70% double dose freedoms will extend to people that are fully vaccinated.

"We cannot afford to have the unvaccinated exposed to venues and we can’t afford to have the unvaccinated susceptible to disease, to get disease.

"That’s why we’re urging everybody, giving people plenty of notice to say if you want to participate in the freedoms that come with 70%, that come with 80%, please, please get vaccinated.

"I don’t want people who have chosen to be unvaccinated complain when we get to 70%."
