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?
Fuck’s sake, how many times must you learn to keep capitalism the fuck away from social services? THEY’RE DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED
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.

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.
