The "value" of nurses has been forgotten in the aged care debate according to Assistant Secretary of the Nurses Professional Association of Queensland Jack McGuire. Mr McGuire spoke with Sky News host Chris Smith of the "revolutionary" solution to arise out of the Netherlands, which could be implemented to tackle the issue of aged care in Australia.
The scheme promotes 'home help,' as opposed to care in aged care facilities. "People seem to have [forgotten]... the value of a nurse, we send these people to university for four years," Mr McGuire said. "We've ended up with a system now where most care is given by people who do a TAFE course for three months".

Common sense I think.
chrissmithonair Seems to me that the best Nursing and Hospital care is reserved for our children so why don’t we have combined facilities with the Aged and Children so that standards improve for the Aged? No poor care would go unnoticed and be constantly called out and the Aged could interact.
Most aged care places don’t even have nurses working there in Australia anymore

NSW volunteer firefighters eligible for compensation under new govt scheme | Sky News AustraliaVolunteer firefighters in New South Wales will be eligible for up to $6,000 dollars in compensation, as part of a federal government scheme.\n\nThe move is designed to support crews through an 'unusually demanding' season, but Prime Minister Scott Morrison said it should not set a precedent for permanent payments. \n\nMr Morrison stressed the payments would be provided as compensation to those who are self-employed or work in small to medium businesses who have lost income as a result of fighting the fires. \n\nThe volunteer NSW firefighters would also have had to have spent at least ten days battling blazes in the state. \n\nOpposition Leader Anthony Albanese criticised Mr Morrison on Sunday for negotiating a deal with NSW and leaving volunteers from other states who have travelled to assist with the firefighting effort in the lurch.\n\nThe Prime Minister insisted if other state Premiers took up the deal, volunteers would be compensated for time spent in NSW. \n\nImage: Getty Yet days ago Scotty bullshitboy from marketing said he spoke with them and they didn't want to be paid 😂😂😂 And not a single cent of that being contributed by Murdoch...zero income tax payable.😐

Aliens swaying elections sounds inherently dangerous to a democracy. What is the point of constitutional requirement for vote if some votes are zombie votes; swayed by concentrated media 'opinions' with no version of truth in media laws.

Maybe DaveSharma should look at his own party? LiberalAus needs to sort out themselves before it goes any further.
