The new Support at Home Program for older people is introducing a ‘free market’ transactional aged care system. It’s a retrograde step
Is this further evidence that the current federal Labor government is the least Labor-like government in the history of Labor governments?
Bill Shorten tried to do some seriously amazing ALP things and the country told them to go to hell and voted ScoMo.
The ALP will never have the balls to try anything serious ever again.
Every action they take is designed with the number 1 priority being “it has to be a policy safe from fear mongering”.
Unfortunately for us that means nothing gets done. Nothing real anyway.
And here I thought the elderly didn’t really believe in anything, but they sure do believe in capitalism…
And here I thought the the Labor Party didn’t really believe in anything, but they sure do believe in capitalism…
Fixed it for you.
parties are reflections of their voters.
In before aged care services is just thrown up on air tasker.
