Aged care residents malnourished, staff panicked, dietitian tells royal commissionAn aged care consultant dietitian says she was appalled by her visit to a Tasmanian aged care facility, which is now on notice from the accreditation authority. Main, Main, Main problem in Aged Care is Providers Do NOT Hire enough Staff to properly care for Residents. Meal times are the Worst, because it can take a lot of time just Feed 1 Resident properly. So you may have 10 Residents or more to assist & it’s on a Time limit! Bupa... Nuff said. They're only concerned with how much profit they can make. Anything to do with health must *not* assume a right to make profits over safety. Sadly, our 'governments' - past and present - always *believe* that commissioned bodies will be ethical. Does anyone in 'govermnent' have a brain? How can making profits over health be ethical?

Tim Fischer dies from leukaemia, aged 73A widely respected and quirky political figure, the former deputy prime minister went from 20-year-old conscript fighting in the jungles in Vietnam to serving as Australia's top diplomat at the Vatican. V sad. He was of a breed of politicians that you don't really see now-a-days. Condolences to his wife and 2 sons. A hard-working, compassionate, humble politician - a rare breed indeed. RIP Mr Fischer 🙏🙏🙏 That is relatively young, doesn't seem fair. The elderly are disproportionately killed by blood cancers these days, the Drs can do amazing things for the younger patients.
