A New South Wales (NSW) paramedic who launched a legal challenge against the state government over vaccine mandates has been suspended from work immediately.
John Larter, a veteran paramedic and deputy mayor of the Snowy Valleys Council, filed a lawsuit against the NSW State Health Minister Brad Hazzard challenging a public health order mandating health workers receive the first dose of the vaccine by Sept. 30, and the second dose by Nov. 30.
