you quote that the Australian Government is responsible getting the vaccines....they did....establishing principles......they did......specifying minimum training requirements.....they did.......
the actual sticking it in the arms......that's the states job
read it again,
States and territories are responsible for.......ensuring appropriately qualified ..workforce to support delivery
states are responsible for ....authorising ...the workforce....plans to POSSESS AND ADMINISTER COVID-19 VACCINES
you cant get around that phrase "possess and administer" the responsibiltiy lies clearly with the Premiers and no-one else
State and Territory Governments are each responsible for: • ensuring appropriately qualified and trained workforce to support delivery of its jurisdictional implementation plan, in collaboration with relevant peak bodies and training providers; • authorising, under State and Territory legislation, the selected workforce identified in the Commonwealth and State and Territory implementation plans to possess and administer COVID-19 vaccines; • identifying specific vaccination sites (including in external territories) in accordance with the Policy and in line with the Commonwealth implementation plan that meet or exceed the minimum requirements; and • ensuring that immunisation providers remain compliant at all times with their safety, ethical, and reporting obligations.
