Subject: [ozmidwifery] Victorian Election
Action
This message is of particular interest
to Victorians, sorry to everyone else!!
Hello All
The time
has come to stop talking about change and get going with some
ACTION.
The Victorian election is nigh and the Labor only have a
minority government. John Thwaites the Vic Health Minister has refused
to meet with the Maternity Coalition over reform and NMAP. He is also
aware of the Nurses Registration Board being able to de-register midwives who
practice without PI insurance, and at the same time has refused to assist
IPM’s with PI.
It is now time to show Labor we mean business and demand
to be heard. The Greens want to make NMAP a feature of their health
policy launch so we need as many women as possible to show the Bracks Gov
their is votes in this. If you can do one thing to support NMAP please
do this. At the moment it looks like it will be on Nov 21, but I will
have definite details in the next couple of days. (Any midwives out
there can you please commit to bringing a few clients/former clients with you,
also Tina we need the Bmidders!!!)
If you are in the following
electorates I suggest you write a letter to your local member and to Thwaites
saying how unwise it is not to listen to women and their familes and how you
intend to vote accordingly. Should people want/need a sample letter to
base their around I am happy to help.
The Bracks Government is
focussing on the following seats in Metro Melb
Mitcham,
