Dominic Perrottet has categorically dismissed former prime minister Scott Morrison’s claims the Premier has the power to drop sweeping vaccine mandates.
, Mr Morrison said the Premier could drop the restrictions on public servants despite Mr Perrottet declaring he did not “have the power”.
“There is no public health order in place, these are dealt with on workplace health and safety by the employer,” Mr Perrottet said on Tuesday. On Tuesday, he again declared there “should not be” vaccine restrictions in workplaces of “low risk” as he passed the buck back to the Commonwealth government over ongoing mandates in care facilities.
“But ultimately the federal government had those provisions in place in aged care, in disability services and today we still have provisions in place in NSW in areas of healthcare as well where on the advice of the health professionals those provisions are put in place.” “The expert medical panel that guided and advised throughout the pandemic, they never agreed to widescale vaccine mandates,” Mr Morrison said.
