Thanks to all the NZNO members who voted. I am especially grateful for the support, which meant that I once again topped the poll. I eagerly look forward to working with the new team.

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 🙂

What a fabulous line-up of candidates for the #NZNO Board. I’d be honoured to serve alongside any of them. NZNO members will be able to vote for up to seven of us, when the ballot opens on Wednesday 6 August.

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.

“When we lose our fear, they lose their power.”
Health unionists standing up for tikanga Māori in Parliament, just like we do every day in our nursing practice.
This government and the punishments they want to inflict on Māori MPs are a disgrace. #toitūtetiriti #FightBackTogether #nzpol

Deputy Police Commissioner Jevon McSkimming under fire for porn on his work computer. I wonder who else has porn on their work records.
