Confidence in the Australian public.” The Morrison government is facing increasing pressure to address public concerns about indecision through the promotion of the touted vaccine passport. However, Mr. Patrick insisted that strong public advertising campaigns should be preferred over punitive methods. He continued: “I don’t like punishing people who have not been vaccinated.” “Similarly, if you take a more active approach and do simple things, such as advertising and publicizing to people, I think we can drive the community. development of.”
