Following ‘nurse-gate’ last week, Bankstown Hospital removed some incriminating content from their Instagram account, including the following photo:
But I believe this is not the only cover-up we are seeing.
While representative of the NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association (NSWNMA) have been in the media distancing themselves from the deplorable nurses’ conduct:
The union representing nurses and midwives said the nurses’ conduct was “deplorable, unacceptable and cannot be tolerated”.
“Health practitioners are bound by codes of conduct to care for all people, regardless of their circumstances,” NSWNMA acting general secretary Michael Whaites said.
“Our membership embraces many cultures and we are all shocked by [Wednesday’s] events. Members of trade unions stand together, united in opposing racism, bigotry and hatred,” he said.
they seem to have gone ahead and blocked people in Israel from accessing the website of The Lamp, their magazine.
Ironically, this is what shows up on that website (when I access it using a VPN):
Yeah, I am not really feeling the love.
So why the block? I suspect they do not want people like me clueing in to the anti-Israel propaganda being spread in this magazine, despite claiming to “call for unity across all communities, oppose racism, and promote cultural harmony and tolerance.”
Like this from the DECEMBER / JANUARY 2024 edition:

By the way, Michael Whaites, their acting general secretary who appears in the above video, is on the Lamp’s editorial committee.
As I wrote in my post on the antisemitic rot in Australia’s healthcare profession, I have a feeling this is just scratching the surface.
Meanwhile, Nurses And Midwives for Palestine have deleted their Instagram account, no doubt for similar reasons the Lamp website blocked Israel.
