Queensland premier hopes to find resolution with nurses union
Queensland premier David Crisafulli says strike action is the last thing he wants, as the state’s nurses union prepares to take industrial action this week.
I hope it’s the last thing that the union wants as well.
The minister has engaged in good faith and in response, so too have the nurses’ union. And I do think we can get a deal. I do think there’s been a pretty good offer put forward, and it honours the commitment we’ve made. Now it’s important that we negotiate in good faith with them, and we will do that.
