Prime Minister Scott Morrison has
congratulated a Melbourne Pub for 'getting behind'
Australia's vaccination drive by offering a free beer to
patrons who have been vaccinated.
What's more, the PM is so supportive of the campaign that
he's told the Therapeutic goods Administration (TGA) to
'back off' when it attempted to intervene – telling
the media the TGA's stance was 'heavy handed' while at
the same time acknowledging the organisation was just 'doing
its job'.
"(Federal Health Minister) Greg Hunt 'had a chat'
to the TGA about the issue and "we'll get it sorted,
common sense will prevail," Mr Morrison said.
The Prince Alfred Hotel in Melbourne had been running an offer
as a vaccination incentive, with patrons offering "a free
drink of their choosing — whether it be a pint of beer, a
glass of wine , or a house spirit and mixer".
