The Frontline talks with Odie Matson, an experienced nurse and NZ Nurse's Organisation delegate, about Simeon's latest Facebook lash-out.


How can a Health Minister who just got 4 annual pay rises in a row, find himself attacking nurses on Facebook for their attempts to negotiate safer working conditions?
