Chair of Tasman school board resigns over vaccine mandate

From First Up, 5:35 am on 16 November 2021

The chair of a Tasman school board has resigned over the vaccine mandate because, he says, he refuses to call police if an unvaccinated member of the community walks through the school gates. Alistair Nicholl had been chair of the Lake Rotoiti School board for some 20 years and involved with the school even longer than that. He told our producer Matthew Theunissen resigning from the position was not a decision he took lightly.
