Two nurses from Bankstown Hospital in New South Wales have been sacked after appearing in a shocking antisemitic video.
Federal Health Minister Mark Butler told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, “I’m advised that the relevant New South Wales Authority that has responsibility for their registration as nurses has been asked to consider an interim suspension of their registration as a nurse.”
“Because I’m worried that even though they’ve been suspended from New South Wales Health, I don’t want them working in another private hospital or an aged care facility.”
“We’ve got to lock these people out of the health system entirely,” Mr. Butler said.
Jason Steinberg, President of the Queensland Jewish Board of Deputies and chairman of the QLD Holocaust Museum also told Bill McDonald on 4BC Mornings, “That should be a wake-up call to governments and authorities that things can’t be swept under the carpet in terms of anti-Semitism.”
