NSWNMA speaker at defence of Medicare rally, 4 January 2014


Annie Butler of the NSW Nurses and Midwives' Association addresses a Sydney rally on Saturday 4 January 2014 to protest the suggestion of charging everyone a co-payment for GP visits. Money should never be a barrier to medical care in Australia.

The NSWNMA supports the international movement for the introduction of a Financial Transactions Tax (FTT). A tiny levy on market-based finance trades, currency speculation, derivatives and share trading would provide ample funds to maintain the health services Australians expect.
