The Ensuring Integrity Bill

As many of you will have heard, the Ensuring Integrity Bill was voted down in the Senate on Thursday 28 November 2019. Our own Tasmanian Senator, Jacqui Lambie was one of those choosing to vote against it. The ANMF Tasmanian Branch Secretary Emily Shepherd along with Executive Director Andrew Brakey both gave evidence to the Senate Inquiry in October 2019 on behalf of members. Many Nurses, Midwives and Care Workers have also been actively campaigning individually via this bill.

The Ensuring Integrity Bill was a significant threat to all unions including the ANMF. Defeating this Bill is a huge win for the union movement, and for our members. Nurses, Midwives and Care Workers can now continue to actively campaign on behalf of their patients and colleagues, including through industrial campaigns.

We acknowledge the determination and resilience of the Palawa/Pakana people of Lutruwita who have survived invasion and dispossession and continue to maintain their identity, culture, and rights.

We recognise that we have much to learn from Aboriginal people today, who represent the world’s oldest continuing culture and pay our sincere respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

We respectfully acknowledge the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation Tasmania's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members, staff, students, alumni, partners, and visitors.

We also acknowledge and respect the Traditional Owners of lands across Australia, their Elders, Ancestors, cultures, and heritage, and recognise the continuing sovereignties of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nations.
