Paul Goulter (NZNO) saying there are no nurses and Simeon Brown saying (there is no Money) while there is a huge bag of money that belongs to property speculators
There are no nurses, doctors and they say there is no money. It is the politician job to find money. Thats why we pay them. Tax the rich, introduce capital gain tax! FFS #nz, #meca, #nzno, #simeonbrown, #nzpolitics, #taxtherich
Voting in the #NZNO election starts tomorrow. A friend has designed these beautiful posters for me. If you’re a health worker and would like to put one up in your area, hit me up with a DM for a printable pdf 🙂
Socialists out yesterday with #nurses in their fight for #safestaffing. That means funding public health, not tax cuts for the govt’s capitalist mates & parasitic landlords! Respect to the #NZNO rank & file & Prez Anne Daniels for dismantling tripe peddled by right-wing slimeballs like Ryan Bridge
“The crowd of 300, bristling with flags of #NZNO, various unions & Tino Rangatiratanga, gathered at Te Whatu Ora head office to demand better pay, safer staffing & recruitment of new nurses – the bare minimum for #nurses facing the reality of Aotearoa’s healthcare crisis” iso.org.nz/2025/07/31/s...
A very important thread!

A poster of a woman with black curly hair and her arm raised to a fist with a purple back ground and the text “why are nurses striking”
Nurses are striking because unsafe staffing is putting lives at risk. Burnout is rampant. Morale is at an all-time low.
Pay our nurses. Staff our wards. Fund our health system.

Fabulous to reconnect with #NZNO members in Te Tai Tokerau, at their Regional Convention today. From the journey of kaupapa Māori nurse researcher Ebony Komene to the story of the 1st health & safety strike by nurses at Dargaville Hospital last August, all of the speakers were inspiring.

‘They get safe care, they get great care, but they might not get the best care. And that's what we want to give,’ she said.”

Screenshot reads: “Israeli investments The NZNO Board last year received an update on the work of the Council of Trade Union's Palestine Forum. Following this, it was agreed that the NZNO Statement of Investment Policy and Objectives will exclude investments in companies listed in the United Nations' High Commissioner for Human Rights database of businesses profiting from the illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. It was also agreed that NZNO provide members with information about how they can choose a KiwiSaver fund which doesn't invest in illegal Israeli settlements. Details of these companies can be found here. Have a great weekend everyone. Ngã mihi, Paul Goulter, Chief Executive”

ILO considers right to strike as intrinsic part of the right to freedom of association, protected under Convention No. 87 & ILO principles embodied in the Constitution. Just as European Social Charter does, & Article 8 of the ICESCR… NZGov feels that global conventions don’t apply here #nzpol #nzno
