4BC Breakfast

Two nurses from Bankstown Hospital in New South Wales have been sacked after appearing in a disgusting antisemitic video.

Federal Health Minister Mark Butler told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "I'm advised that the relevant New South Wales Authority that has responsibility for their registration as nurses has been asked to consider an interim suspension of their registration as a nurse."

"Because I'm worried that even though they've been suspended from New South Wales Health, I don't want them working in another private hospital or an aged care facility."

"We've got to lock these people out of the health system entirely," Mr. Butler said.

RTBU Secretary Tom Browne told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "We are still at the bottom of the food chain."
