I’ve been to Indonesia, didn’t need anything.
Who said you needed it?
Point is one should make their own choices, not be forced against their will.

The Indo government made me, in order to get the visa. I could have gone elsewhere.
Just as ppl can fly another airline. Free market, right?

That's unfortunate, wasn't needed for a South African passport.
Regardless, the point is it should never be forced.
With Qantas's taking this step it is likely that other airlines will do the exact same. This isn't force per say, but akin to it.
To compare this, think of the little cake shop that didn't want to bake a cake which had something written on it. This little shop went through hell but prevailed.
Now we have multinationals (think food retailers etc) all saying no mask no entry.
Followed by airlines (& likely supported by policy) imposing top down exclusionary practices.
These airlines aren't a small cake shop, they know the power they wield but it is being steam-rolled. Stripping people's options away in a way akin to force.
I have to deal with the shit I can control, I can't waste my time worrying about what someone "might" do, to limit my choices.
I guess the bottom line for me is, you vote with your dollar.
