I'll be blunt: these changes are going to kill people. They are going to result in more elder abuse and poorer quality of life for the most vulnerable members of our society. They're also going to drive more people into aged care: the exact opposite of the stated aims of this legislation.

This is what happens when a government is focused on economic productivity to the exclusion of all else. The "unproductive" members of society become collateral damage.

I can’t believe its not @twcau May 20, 2023

I have absolutely no problem with all of this. Let the adverse findings run free, and the responsible public servants and their masters enjoy the find out stage of their f**king around.
