Scott Morrison has defended a Melbourne pub offering free beers to vaccinated patrons, saying a health body s decision to ban the incentive was a bit heavy-handed .
The Prince Alfred hotel in Port Melbourne is located directly across the road from the Port Melbourne Town Hall vaccination clinic.
The hotel was offering those who had been vaccinated to come across and enjoy a free drink on the house, hoping to do their bit to encourage Australians to roll up their sleeves and get jabbed.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration contacted the bar on Wednesday to inform it they could not offer such a promotion, leading the Prime Minister to say the government are working to get it sorted with 150,000 jabs being given weekly.
