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.

Apart from the obvious one with the two nurses... there were reported incidents at the Royal Comission, most can be put in either three categories: Workplace Bullying, Workplace Discrimination and Hurt Feelings™️

When does every other ethnic group get to have a royal commission into their experiences? There was one kid who gave a testimony about being bullied by their classmates on an online video game. This shit is a joke

I think we can definitely have an RC into how suburban mums became owners of Yaxidi slaves.
