This is what our Government in Queensland is doing to businesses who do not comply….
posted on their Facebook page today:
“Ok, here we go....Since we're all about facts, we don't want Chinese whispers and town gossip to get in the way of the truth. So you get to hear it from the horses mouth.
It's no secret that we are completely opposed to segregation and will continue to be. Forever.
So last night we were issued with a lovely fine of $6892 because we accept everyone equally. This is not a woe is me post. We knew exactly what we were up against and still stand by our decisions, with zero regrets. We do not believe this a public health issue, but one of complete control headed towards tyranny.
The nonsensical rules are hypocritical and arbitrary and we don't want to play this game. Many businesses have suffered tremendously this weekend because of these weird arse rules and felt conflicted about how to navigate them after 20mths of having to pivot and adjust.
Enough is enough! So our reward is this gorgeous piece of paper that has done nothing to dampen our resolve. "You must never be fearful of what you are doing when it is right" - Rosa Parks
* Cue schadenfreude from those who will hate this post
* Cue people telling us we're being irresponsible and a public health risk (your opinion)
* Cue people who get it
* Cue those about to unfollow our page and never visit again
* Cue everyone in between.
Happy Sunday!”
