  1. Controversial video posted online embroils two NSW nurses over alleged antisemitism: abc.net.au/news/2025-02-12/nsw

    A great reminder about the value of the Hippocratic-esque oaths and value statements that reflect ‘Universal human rights’, in the health system.

    And a disappointing lack of charismatic leadership from Political and Administrative leaders.
    It’s easy to express ‘disgust, horror, shock, etc’. Somehow it’s ‘hard’ for leaders to talk about universal rights and why it matters.
