Red Stag Timber CEO Marty Verry has told Checkpoint offering $3000 to staff to get fully vaccinated is to protect their workforce and families, and help ensure they can keep operating next year.

"They're going to use it better in the local community than if we give it back to the central government. The local community needs it with the tourism numbers having turned off so whatever we can do to support the local community."
