Thousands rally as nurses reject one-or-the-other deal

Hundreds of surgeries were postponed on Wednesday, 13th November as many of NSW's 50,000 nurses and midwives took to the streets to agitate for an immediate 15% pay rise. The government has declined to go above 10.5% over three years without changes to a plan to increase nurse-to-patient ratios. Fuelling the nurses' fury is their Victorian and Queensland counterparts being promised substantial increases in pay to overcome gender disparity in the public sector. Vision courtesy: AAP
