Western Australia (WA) Police have reportedly arrested a family restaurant’s owner and her daughter after they allegedly refused to allow police to enter the premises and check the vaccination status of staff, according to witnesses on the scene.

WA has one of the broadest proof of vaccination requirements in the nation, with both staff and patrons needing to be fully vaccinated to enter hospitality, entertainment, and fitness venues. Visitors to aged care facilities and hospitals will, for the most part, also need to be vaccinated.
