Guess who's forgotten in the narratives being written following the ruling by Justice M. Lee about rape & rape myths? The one cohort who absolutely does not fit the stereotype of the perfect rape victim. Older women, esp those in aged care.

Two steps forward, one step back. The work of nurses, midwives and carers is all about the person at the centre of the care. This must be reflected in aged care policy that is also enforcable and requires clear $ transparency from providers. ab.co/3Jsw0c5 Anika Wells MP

'Members are reporting that many providers are failing to meet the mandatory staffing requirements & are instead rearranging rosters to appear compliant.'

SimonJudkins Charles Maskell-Knight Anika Wells MP Dr Sarah Russell Aged & Community Care Providers Association Australian Department of Health and Aged Care Aged Care Crisis Yes, the mess the aged care system in Australia is in is a legacy of the Howard government. That government really damaged Australia. But now the Anthony Albanese is making no attempt to fix the underlying problems in aged care. Just tinkering with lots of extra money

Aged care organisations in Australia use related party transactions (through companies they own) to siphon profit & to exaggerate expenses to create the illusion of being unprofitable
