Nurses turn their backs on Health Minister during speech
Nurses Organisation delegates have turned their back on Health Minister Simeon Brown during his address to their conference.
Brown told the audience at Te Papa in Wellington that nurses’ strike action was hurting patients.
He said the government valued the work of nurses and urged the union to put patients first.
Rangi Black-Tufi, who led the impromptu protest, said she was angered by what she called the minister’s attempt to guilt-trip nurses.
Simeon Brown, the man child scumbag Health Minister who is destroying and privatising public health had Nurses turn their back on him after he had the fucking audacity to try and guilt trip them over strike action.
The Nurses are our bloody heroes, they deserve a 15% pay rise across the board and what do they get?
Shat on and guilt tripped by the Minister!
These hero Nurses are standing against this man-child scumbag Health Minister, why the fuck are you standing with him Kiwi?
For shame Kiwi.
For shame.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Surely they could simply look over him instead?
Normally but he was standing on a stool
Ignoring him is better than throwing bed pans at him, which is about all he deserves.
I’ll say it on behalf of everyone. He is a patronizing little cunt who is unqualified to be anywhere near the health portfolio.
What does this man actually know about nursing and really what does he know about health
I don’t think kiwis are standing with the minister.
Happened to be at a hospital during the last nurses strike and the patients, families, visitors, passing drivers were all supporting the nurses.
People whose health could be compromised by the strike were supporting the nurses.
Andrew Little was given the silent treatment in 1922 and told nurses they were not cooperating over pay talks .The nurses were complaining of being understaffed so nothing new with their claims .
Nursesxand teachers need to be paid top dollar but it will never be enough for some so it needs to be the most the country can afford along with all the other commitments
Men can’t help but get all patriarchal and take delight in talking down to and patronising teachers and nurses, in careers predominantly ‘manned’ by women.
Nurses and teachers are vastly better qualified for their jobs than Brown who is just a figurehead, a complete nobody. He was given one of the poisoned chalices for a reason.
Between being a male and being religious, talking down to, belittling and patronising are what he does best.
Andrew Little no better qualified than Brown probably.
Brown is another one who would have been in the headmaster’s office every second day telling tales on his classmates as a child.
Don’t think Andrew Little was alive in 1922 Trevor
He just seems that old
Wonder full response .Beats shouting any day ,well done people .
Touché, a bit of prospective is what the snivelling little ideological prick deserves…respect is earned not automatically given.
Slimeon needs to eat his words if anyone is hurting anyone it is his government’s policies hurting many NZers and he needs to stop repeating himself it is becoming very tiresome
