Good link, Foxy, that puts a somewhat different slant on things.

Foxy, as usual many people got sucked in by the obfuscations of the ABC. Frequently it’s not what they say, it’s what they omit.
In their fact check of the Nurses and Midwives Code of Conduct, which they quote, they neglected to mention the glossary at the back, the area the quote about white privilege was taken from.
In the glossary, the definition of cultural safety includes the words “acknowledgment of white privilege”
The following is pasted from the Nurses and Midwives Code of Conduct from the glossary at the back. Look in the sentence beginning “ In relation to Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander health “

“ Cultural safety is a philosophy of practice that is about how a health professional does something, not [just] what they do. It is about how people are treated in society, not about their diversity as such, so its focus is on systemic and structural issues and on the social determinants of health. Cultural safety represents a key philosophical shift from providing care regardless of difference, to care that takes account of peoples’ unique needs. It requires nurses and midwives to undertake an ongoing process of self-reflection and cultural self-awareness, and an acknowledgement of how a nurse’s/midwife’s personal culture impacts on care. In relation to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, cultural safety provides a de-colonising model of practice based on dialogue, communication, power sharing and negotiation, and the acknowledgment of white privilege. These actions are a means to challenge racism at personal and institutional levels, and to establish trust in healthcare encounters (CATSINaM, 2017b, p. 11). In focusing on clinical interactions, particularly power inequity between patient and health professional, cultural safety calls for a genuine partnership where power is shared between the individuals and cultural groups involved in healthcare. Cultural safety is also relevant to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health professionals. Non-Indigenous nurses and midwives must address how they create a culturally safe work environment that is free of racism for their Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander colleagues (CATSINaM, 2017a).

Well Foxy, now that you have read Big Nana's comments you can cry.
Certainly the ABC put a different slant on it but as I heard after the
code was approved and distributed an annex was added, which includes the glossary.
I used to always watch Media Watch, but Q&A has become such a lefty
rant that I generally get into something else by that time.
I am one of those big numbers who have given it up.
I only watch it if it is going to be about electricity generation.
Even then what I hear there annoys me no end as the pollies just do not have a clue.
Must go to bed, good night

I told you all months ago they're teaching Marxism right in the University courses, and what else would you expect from leftist University people?

You can't pass without becoming potilically indoctrinated.

This won't be confined to one course, this will be every course.

Really? Every course, huh?

Well, since you obviously know so much about Marxism and how it is taught, do you think you might be able to explain for us simpletons without IQ's of 217 how Marxist theory can be applied to the study of chemistry?

I obviously went to a 2nd-rate uni, because in not one of my lectures did that subject ever come up. So I can't really see what Marxism has to do with chemistry, although I assume the connection must exist (if only in AC's mind).

I imagine that Marxist chemists would rename the noble gases as 'the bourgeois gases' because the snooty buggers don't like sharing. Presumably they'd also be opposed to any covalently bonded molecules with a net dipole moment, which would be a bit of a bugger (H20 would be bourgeois molecule in Marxist chemistry).

Or is it not like that at all, AC?

Toni, they have started it in schools. Home Ed classes, teachers are now saying; "Children, to make a good 'Bolshevik' you are going to need two Stalinist eggs, a cup of Lenin flour and a pinch of Trotsky. One student asked "Teach, where do you get Stalinist eggs?" the sharp reply came back "From RED chickens of course!"

I did Modern History at school, they tough me about Hitler, now I'm a Nazi!

Sieg Heil and I'll catch you later.
