Gold Coast businessman Glen Day has vowed to flout a new rule banning the unvaccinated from hospitality venues in Queensland from Friday. Mr Day told the Today show host on Wednesday the government was 'taking away people's freedoms' after she asked him why he had an issue with the new rule. 'Can I ask you a question Sylvia, do you support human rights?' he said. 'I support the protection and safety of our front line health care workers, do you?' Jeffreys replied. A new rule will ban the unvaccinated from hospitality venues in Queensland from Friday. Pictured is a n Australian restaurant during the pandemic Mr Day, who says he has lost at least $3million due to the pandemic, admitted his stance could lose him even more money through government fines. 'The money is the not the important people. It's people's rights that are important,' he said. The hospitality operator's businesses include popular eateries such as Pancakes in Paradise in Surfers Paradise and The Aztec on Broadbeach. The exchange ended tersely when the businessman said he believed the Covid jab had not been 'tested properly'. 'The experts we rely on are fully-qualified infectious diseases experts. We'll leave it there. Thank you for your time,' Jeffreys said. The owner claims hospitality businesses are being unfairly targeted by vaccination requirement rules for restaurants. Gold Coast businessman Glen Day has vowed to flout the new rule, claiming it is a violation of 'human rights' 'The government is making it very difficult for small business, it seems to be the only one hit with this mandate, especially hospitality,' he told The Gold Coast Bulletin. 'I can't understand why unvaccinated people can't go into a restaurant when they can get their hair done, when they can go to gyms.' Unvaccinated people will also be banned from Queensland's nightclubs, stadiums and theme parks from Friday. The hospitality operator's businesses include popular eateries such as Pancakes in Paradise in Surfers Paradise Queensland Chief Health Officer John Gerrard warned the venue mandate was here to stay. 'It's not fair on the vaccinated to ask them to make sacrifices for the very small number of people who have not become vaccinated,' he said. Overall 82.03 per cent of eligible Queenslanders are fully vaccinated and 88.61 per cent have had one dose.
