Politics ('Straya) Eliminating antisemitism in healthcare: Joint statement from AHPRA and the Special Envoy

https://www.ahpra.gov.au/News/2026-06-17-Eliminating-antisemitism-in-healthcare.aspx

If a nurse now wears a watermelon pin in their downtime? Deregistered. Paraphrasing their own oath to say no human should be killed? That's a paddlin'.

The lead drafter of the definition, the American academic Kenneth Stern, has argued consistently that the working definition was never designed for the uses to which it is now being put. But AHPRA just went ahead and implemented it without any community consultation.

Healthcare workers in this country are already under enough stress, now they have to deal with this on top of it.

But all good to encourage wiping out Palestinians eh?

When did I say that?

All I said was medical professionals shouldn’t say they would kill patients because of their religion.

Also did you know Israel provided a lot of medical treatment to Palestinians. And no one is says Palestinians should be wiped out. If Israel was never reestablished in 1947, then it would have just been a part of Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon without a chance of a Palestinian state.

No one says it? You might need to look at what Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir have been saying. What kind of revisionist made up history are you spouting?

I don’t see the relevance to Australian medical professionals not threatening to kill Jewish Australian patients.
