NSW One Nation leader Mark Latham is calling for the abolition of vaccine mandates.

$4.5 billion is being set aside in the state budget to help recruit more than 10,000 health staff.

“Thousands of health professionals were pushed out of the system due to mandates, and now the government is spending $4.5 billion to recruit extra health professionals.

“The mandates are long overdue for abolition.”
