The former Covid Response Minister says our vaccine mandates during the pandemic went too far.
Internal Affairs Minister Brooke van Velden has received the first phase of the report from the Royal Commission Inquiry, with its 39 recommendations.
It found some vaccine requirements were too broadly applied and continued too long.
Labour leader Chris Hipkins says he hasn't drawn any conclusions on the length, as he hasn't read fully read through the report yet.
"Do I think the vaccine mandates went a bit too wide? Yes, I actually accept that finding."
