“Our nurses poured cold water on their latest pay offer” (June 19), and
“Mother Nature” is set to do the same to Wellington.
Considering the calamities “Mother
Nature” dishes out constantly, a package of $500 million for nurses seems above and beyond.
We like to picture nurses as Florence Nightingales which individually they are, on the whole. And naturally they advocate for their patients. But even Florence Nightingales can be greedy.

They should think of the needy. Beyond the ward doors are unemployed people, hungry people, homeless
people, mentally sick people, imprisoned people, abused people – even farming
people forced to slaughter their stock. None of them can wield the threat of
strike action to get what they want.
We credit “Mother Nature” as being in charge of the weather. But in charge
of everything and credited by most of us with nothing, is Father God.
