With NSW due for a reopening next month, it’s clear the promised freedoms will be only for the vaccinated. How will vaccine passports work, who will miss out and will Sydney continue to see a Tale of Two Cities?
| | | | This week on Q+A we ask have we traded away too many freedoms in the name of COVID safety? And are the lost freedoms being shared equitably in communities around the country?
With NSW due for a reopening next month, it’s clear the promised freedoms will be only for the vaccinated. How will vaccine passports work, who will miss out and will Sydney continue to see a Tale of Two Cities?
We’ll check the COVID outbreaks in regional indigenous communities like Wilcannia where infection rates are alarmingly high and health resources scant.
We'll also debate the appointment of the new Human Rights Commissioner and the parachuting of Kristina Keneally into a safe Labor seat.

Dave Sharma, Liberal Member for Wentworth
Linda Burney, Shadow Minister for Families and Social Services
