Prime Minister Scott Morrison has pushed back against the Labor Party’s plan to pay a $300 payment to help speed up the COVID-19 vaccination rate, saying Australians engaged with the program needed to be respected.

Morrison blasted the proposal as a “bankrupt thought bubble” that was an insult to all Australians.
