Collins slates creation of ‘two-class’ system

two-class system and social disharmony,’’ Collins said. ‘‘We want people to be encouraged to have the right information. And the Government is sitting back and saying they didn’t do anything wrong but they, those people who didn’t get vaccinated, they’re the bad people.’’

Collins has previously called for vaccine certificates to be introduced and said businesses should have the right to deny service to those who were unvaccinated.

She went as far as to say supermarkets and airlines should be able to do that if they wished to.

Bishop said two weeks ago that providing greater freedoms to vaccinated people should be part of the response.

‘‘Other countries are granting greater freedoms to vaccinated people. It should be part of our pathway out of the current situation in Auckland, but it’s impossible to grant freedoms for vaccinated people if they can’t prove they’re vaccinated,’’ Bishop said.

Yesterday, Collins said she still supported vaccine certificates as businesses had a right to decide who entered their property.

‘‘We believe in private property rights. Every business as we have said all the way through, has the right to decide who can come onto their premises.’’
