To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly, this petition of concerned citizens, the petitioners, call on the New South Wales Government to immediately reverse the inequitable decision and city-centric bias of both Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Deputy Premier John Barilaro on 28/07/2021 to redirect allocated COVID-19 vaccines from Regional NSW to vaccinate a demographic in certain areas of metropolitan Sydney. The petitioners call on the NSW Government to equitably distribute COVID-19 vaccines across the entirety of NSW, which include people of Regional NSW, many of whom, such as frontline health and emergency services workers, aged, frail, infirm and vulnerable people living across Regional NSW still await the opportunity to receive their first vaccination.
