Today, the Victorian Secretary of the Australian Nursing & Midwifery Federation has made several factually incorrect and insulting comments.
I am a proud former nurse and midwife with almost two decades of clinical experience.
I have always supported frontline health workers who do their best despite the failings of the Andrews Labor Government.
Even before the pandemic, the funding the Andrews Labor Government provided Victorian hospitals was the lowest in the nation.
Daniel Andrews’ recent budget has then ripped more than $2 billion from health funding.
The Victorian Liberals and Nationals will always support healthcare workers with a system that works, not the dysfunctional, failing system the Andrews Labor Government has provided.
Despite claims to seek a bi-partisan approach to health, Secretary Ms Fitzpatrick has ignored repeated requests to meet.
These are blatantly political comments by an increasingly desperate Government that will do anything to cover up its failings.
The Victorian Liberals and Nationals will not be distracted from our mission to fix Labor’s broken healthcare system.
