NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet’s announcement that Covid vaccine mandates are coming to an end in the state has been welcomed by radio host Ben Fordham.
Mr Perrottet said he had ‘made it very clear that we are ending vaccine mandates’ and had met with top bureaucrats to ask them to do so.
‘They are working through those risk-based assessments and I expect them to come back to me shortly,’ he said. ‘I expect them to implement my direction.’
Fordham said on 2GB: ‘The worm appears to be turning on the issue of vaccine mandates. And this is an important step in learning to live with the virus.’
He pointed out that thousands of Australians are still banned from working, including unvaccinated teachers who are on full pay while sitting at home.
