Victorian Auditor-General John Doyle in 2013 noted that public hospitals were failing to document all cases of violence against their staff. Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews has now vowed to address the issue if elected to govern in November 2014. He made the pledge at the 26 June state delegates’ conference of the Australian Nursing Federation. Health Minister David Davis also spoke, and highlighted new laws that include mandatory minimum sentences for those attacking emergency services workers. The Australian Medical Association applauds the Australian Labor Party’s push for greater transparency on the problem
