Here we have evidence of National acting like the Labour Party, they want to "force" then to stay in NZ (for five years).
So Stuff might not have used the right wording as in, In exchange for the $22,500 the nurses need to stay in NZ.
So five years down the track there is a sudden shortage of nurses.
There's been a shortage for years Gordon. It's only under the current useless mob that it's reached crisis proportions because of Labours inability to react to crisis in a timely manner!
The nurses aren't going to be 'forced' to do anything Gordon. They'll have a choice. Unlike Arden's bloody mandate that had nurses refused work if they didn't get vaccinated. I'm left wondering just how many were laid off but as usual with this useless
quasi government they're not saying or for that matter dropping the mandates. Labour and it's supporters are blaming and will blame National but the problem wasn't as bad back then. Oh and Rich will no doubt blame covid as it's one of his go to excuses
for Labours many failures!
