that there needs to be an end date to mandating announced. People want certainty, especially now.
The wider issue though is people are losing trust and therefore, i’m not sure they’d believe an end date announcement considering past statements like:
Reporter “

wants to compensate those who were mandated out of their jobs and vaccine injured, does Labour support that?”
Prime Minister Hipkins “There were no compulsory vaccinations, people made their own choices” Thoughts on his statement?

Force: (verb): make (someone) do something against their will.
