Jacinda Ardern has admitted she's still not a fan of vaccine mandates but had to introduce them into New Zealand to prevent long-term Covid restrictions.
The Kiwi prime minister spoke to 1News about her tenure in charge of the country during the pandemic after she started to lift the mandates earlier this month.
