Band mates Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles shared a post to Instagram on Tuesday, criticising the government after being forced to postpone their performance. 'It feels strange to be writing this 16 months into a worldwide pandemic, it feels strange to be writing this while the rest of the world seemingly returns to normal, holds events, travels freely and yet Australia who was leading the way with their response to COVID-10 is in another lockdown,' the pair wrote. Slammed: Electronic duo Peking Duk have slammed the Federal Government's handling of the Covid vaccine rollout. Pictured Peking Duk band mates Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles '16 months ago we locked down, it made sense, why overrun the hospitals if it was avoidable. 12 months ago, we locked down, it made sense — we need to protect our loved ones, we need to protect those highest at risk of COVID-19.' 'In December 2020, 7 months ago - we locked down... Now in July 2021 with Australia firmly the worst performing country in the OECD for fully vaccinated adults the music industry is facing more uncertainty, more cancellations, more postponements.' The pair went on to say that America has 45 per cent of their population vaccinated and can host events in comparison to Australia. Peking Duk were set to take the stage at the Winter In The Domain festival in Sydney on July 9. But the event has been postponed following Sydney's Covid outbreak. Speaking out: Band mates Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles shared a post to Instagram on Tuesday, criticising the government after being forced to postpone their concert Just 5.79 per cent of Australians are now fully vaccinated four months after the country's biggest ever inoculation rollout was launched, according to a graph compiled by Our World in Data. Israel has vaccinated almost 60 per cent of its population followed by Chile with almost 55 per cent, while almost half of Britons and Americans have rolled up their sleeves. Australia is also trailing behind Latvia, Turkey, Mexico and Colombia and even New Zealand, which only uses the Pfizer jab. 'In December 2020, 7 months ago - we locked down... Now in July 2021 with Australia firmly the worst performing country in the OECD for fully vaccinated adults the music industry is facing more uncertainty, more cancellations, more postponements,' the pair wrote Australia has recorded a total of over 30,000 cases and 910 deaths in a population of about 25 million since the pandemic began. The Pfizer vaccine is in short supply in Australia and it is not yet available to people under 40. Instead, younger Australians can only get the abundant AstraZeneca vaccine via their GPs because the government is prioritising Pfizer jabs for people aged 40 to 60. AstraZeneca, which is only recommended for people over 60 because of extremely rare but serious blood clots, has a 12-week gap between doses, while Pfizer has a three-week space.
