Kate Washington, a NSW MP, is facing criticism after making a controversial statement that suggests teachers and nurses may leave their professions if Labor is not elected in the upcoming elections. This comes after Washington made an unofficial opening of an ambulance station last week, which drew criticism from some quarters.
In her latest statement, Washington has been accused of political coercion and playing on the emotions of voters. She has been accused of suggesting that a particular group will only remain in their professions if a certain political party is elected, which has been deemed as an abuse of power.
The warning from teachers and nurses has emphasized the high stakes of this election, and the need for voters to consider the potential consequences of their choices. However, Washington’s statement has been seen by some as dangerous and unbecoming of an elected official.
