WorkSafe unclear on who has paid Covid breach fines

From Checkpoint, 5:07 pm on 21 October 2022

The agency charged with enforcing the vaccine pass rules has no idea how many businesses have paid their fines for not complying.

From December to about Easter, lots of businesses had to ask to see vaccine passes - and staff had to have them to work. Worksafe was in charge of educating businesses, and enforcing the rules.

Nearly $400,000 in fines was handed out, but it's unclear how much has been paid.
