On the retention issue, we know anecdotally and we we get that from hearing from different nurses and midwives across the country that staying in the profession, this escalating violence is a key reason why people are leaving.

Introducing guns and armed guards carrying guns, uh PSOs as they're referred to in Victoria, do you think that's a good idea of making the situation a little better in the States?
voice-verified
Yeah, and we do have data from overseas, especially in the US, where around a quarter of emergency department shootings do involve someone grabbing a weapon from an armed officer.
voice-verified
So to your point, that just provides a bit more colour to your point there.

If the opposition were to announce, you know, rolling out these guards and not armed guards, but unarmed guards inside the hospital, would you welcome that?
voice-verified
More security guards inside hospital environments?

Maddie's opinion and view is that armed guards are a good idea in hospital car parks, but it's not a

fan of them in hospital environments.
voice-verified
I wonder if you share the same view.
voice-verified
Like I said, reach out to us.
voice-verified
We'd absolutely love to hear from you on this one.
