Mark McGowan has not won the hearts of the people of WA after he announced everyone has to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to go anywhere and to do pretty much anything.
From January 31, West Australians will be subjected to a new set of rules where proof of COVID-19 vaccination is required.
Hardly any place will be open to unvaccinated Australians. A wide range of businesses and events will remain closed for them.
Hospitals, aged care facilities, and all hospitality venues, including restaurants, and places where dine-in fast food is provided, will demand confirmation of double-dose vaccination for anyone aged 16 and over.
Is Mark McGowan Aboriginal? Why Was He Called Out For Having An Indigenous Translator?
Mark McGowan is not an Aboriginal, but a video where he has employed an indigenous translator to pass along a message to keep the Aboriginal safe has been tagged and flagged as a racist move.
The two-minute video starts with him saying, “This is an important message to keep Aboriginal people safe.”
After each sentence, he waits for an older indigenous translator to translate his message to be understood by the Aboriginal people. The interpreter says each line in ‘Aboriginal English,’ the language of the tribe McGowan wants to address.
The video issued a warning about coronavirus after Western Australia’s Service WA app was launched.
The video has gone viral for being deemed particularly rude and demeaning. According to the tweets, it portrays Aboriginal people as children who cannot understand the ‘Australian English’ language.
