Mr Joyce told Sky News vaccines may provide more freedoms when business owners look to protect their businesses and customers.

“People in private enterprise are going to say look I’ve got rights here too,” the deputy prime minister said.

“If you want to come into my barbershop, or my childcare facility… then I have a right to say, maybe, ‘have you been inoculated’?

“And if you say you haven’t, I have got a right as the owner of the shop to say I can’t have you sitting in a seat next to someone who has.”

Despite Mr Joyce’s comments about businesses disallowing unvaccinated customers the NSW Premier said vaccination privileges would not work until everyone had access to the vaccine.

Ms Berejiklian spoke on WSFM’s Jonesy and Amanda when she replied to a listener who said it would be an incentive to allow vaccinated people in hotspot local government areas to work outside their LGA.

“We can look at those policies a bit further down the track but at the moment we haven’t had the chance to offer the vaccine to everybody,” Ms Berejiklian said.

“If you’re vaccinated and you’re walking around the community, you can still give it to other people who aren’t vaccinated and that’s not fair on them.

“Until we give a chance to everybody to get vaccinated, we have to stay safe and stay in this lockdown situation.”

On Sunday New South Wales recorded 239 new cases overnight with 26 were in the community while infectious and 35 were in the community for part of their infectious period.

The Premier used the COVID update to push residents to get vaccinated as she outlined the numbers needed to exit lockdown.

“I am calling upon the people of Greater Sydney and Greater New South Wales to come forward and get vaccinated,” Ms Berejiklian urged.

“We know that vaccination is working against this terrible delta strain, we know it is effective, we know it is keeping people out of hospital.

“To get to the 70 per cent target we need 9.2 million jabs. To get the 80 per cent target we need 10 million jabs.”

The Deputy Prime Minister said the Commonwealth was working to get the vaccine offered to everyone who wanted it.

“We’re striving has hard as we can… to get as many inoculations done as possible so we can say to people the inoculations are there if you wish to have them, if you don’t that’s your choice,” he said.

“But we would prefer you did that would be the smarter thing for all of us.”
