Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced an additional $171 million in aged care funding, taking the total spent on the sector throughout the coronavirus pandemic to more than $1 billion. “The government will be providing $9.1 million to support further operations of the Victorian aged care response centre,” Mr Morrison said.
He also announced $103.4 million will go towards extra aged care preparedness measures, which includes workforce measures and covering quarantine costs for interstate staff deployed. Additionally, $50.6 million will go towards the aged care worker retention payment, due to be paid in September. A further $9 million will also go to the aged care regulator.
ScottMorrisonMP If funding was directed at families choosing to care at home, this would save lives with a better quality of life... Real care is Families at home!!! You cannot buy or manufacture love!!!!
ScottMorrisonMP ANNOUNCED. This means it’ll most likely never happen auspol
ScottMorrisonMP Is this like the Arts sector announcement? They haven't seen a dollar yet.

ScottMorrisonMP THE FEDERAL AGED CARE MINISTER DID NOT KNOW HOW MANY AGED CARE COVID DEATHS THERE WERE. THOSE LIVES OBVIOUSLY DO NOT MATTER TO HIM. IF NO STRATEGY THE MONEY HAS NOWHERE TO GO.

ScottMorrisonMP Ohh Scummo but lets give money to the Murdoch Media Don’t worry about our older Australians he drained the aged care sector without any conscience. Take the weekend off, the states have got this, you want to hope there is not a mega state succession when this is over
ScottMorrisonMP So, still not back to where it was before he started cutting it.
ScottMorrisonMP Wow a bottomless pit of $$$$. Still wondering what happend to last years fires $$$ along with just about everything else they have committed to since. Shut up & enjoy your weekend you snake.
ScottMorrisonMP it's disgraceful, aged care owners living in 30 million dollar mansions, driving Ferrari's and Lamborghini's and our senior citizens lying in nursing homes in their own body fluids, starved of decent food, medication and basic needs. Shameful,Your family? richardmcolbeck auspol
ScottMorrisonMP Announced. They won’t see it. And still won’t make up for the amount he previously stripped from the industry.

ScottMorrisonMP Blah blah bullshit bullshit...
political_alert ScottMorrisonMP Lol. Scotty gives back some of what he ripped out previously.
ScottMorrisonMP We all know he is great at announcements! But him and his Goverment again will fail at delivery.
political_alert ScottMorrisonMP Yeah, that'll help after the $3 billion he cut from the sector when he was treasurer.... *Borat voice* Not.....
ScottMorrisonMP Wrong again. He ANNOUNCED an additional $171 M which, as we know, is a completely different thing to him actually coughing up the cash. Let's not forget he has already stripped $3 B out of aged-cared so still a huge deficit for LiarFromTheShire

PM acknowledges joint state, federal responsibility for aged care sector | Sky News AustraliaPremier Daniel Andrews has downplayed claims of tension between the Victorian and federal governments, insisting his only focus is on the “collective attack against this virus”. \n\nOn Wednesday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison appeared to shift the blame for Victoria’s troubled aged care sector to the state government, later clarifying at a press conference there is joint federal and state responsibility for the sector.\n\n“It’s the overlapping of public health responsibilities which sits with states and federal aged care responsibilities which sit with the federal government, so yes it is a complex set of responsibility and they are shared,” Mr Morrison said. \n\nWhen asked about the remark, Mr Andrews said he was “not interested” in attempting to interpret the Prime Minister’s comments. \n\nThe Premier moved on to outline of the 2,050 active coronavirus cases in the aged care system, only five were linked to state-run facilities. \n\n“I’m not seeking to make any other point than the facts, and they are the facts and I’ve consistently presented them that way … that is the appropriate thing to do,” he said. \n\nMeanwhile Victoria Police revealed only 42 state residents had been fined for breaching the state’s lockdown laws. \n\nThe state has seen a continued downward trend in its daily caseload, recording 216 new cases and 16 fatalities in the past 24 hours. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia DanielAndrewsMP Leave the virus, get you policies in order regarding nursing homes and let everyone else get back to normal DanielAndrewsMP Ye okay, just cause you said so Dan.

PM announces $171m extra funding for aged careScott Morrison also said national cabinet had agreed a federal aged care emergency response centre could be established to help a state or territory manage aged care coronavirus cases if requested. MWhalan is that what they have said or is that what they have actually done? there tends to be a pattern of doing nothing $1billion invested, but nothing built. Classic Libs.

PM must 'accept responsibility and apologise' for aged care catastrophe | Sky News AustraliaShadow Ageing Minister Julie Collins is calling on the Prime Minister to “accept responsibility, apologise to families and say what and where the government has gone wrong and how they are fixing it”. \n\nIn response to the increasing coronavirus death toll in the aged care sector, Ms Collins said it was clear “the government didn’t do enough soon enough, and we’re now seeing tragic consequences of that”. \n\n“The federal government funds aged care, regulates aged care, was clearly in charge of aged care across Australia and should have been more prepared for aged care outbreaks,” she said. \n\n“To duck and weave and try to say that somehow he is not responsible for aged care I think is disingenuous and I think the families and loved ones of all those that have been impacted in Victorian and New South Wales aged care facilities deserve better from the Prime Minister.” \n\nMs Collins told Sky News she had little faith in the federal government to implement recommendations outlined in the aged care royal commission. \n\n“It hasn’t implemented [recommendations from] the interim report in full and I don’t know how the public can have any faith that the Prime Minister and the aged care system in Australia is where it needs to be,” she said. \n\n“I think what we’ll see from the government is the usual smoke and mirrors.” \n JulieCollinsMP The PM cannot say that - because they are not fixing the COVID 19 and age care 'problem. JulieCollinsMP Can't wait to see this! JulieCollinsMP Has DanielAndrewsMP apologised and resigned over the hotel quarantine scandal, and for utterly destroying the state over a bad flu?

Jobs, unemployment 'Australia's number one economic issue': PM | Sky News AustraliaPrime Minister Scott Morrison has today announced the nation’s “number one economic issue” is jobs and unemployment. \n\n“The biggest challenge which is shared by our government is unemployment, it’s jobs, it’s about getting Australians back into jobs, it’s about keeping Australians in jobs,” he said. \n\nMr Morrison revealed the RBA Governor Philip Lowe had addressed national leaders at the state and territory levels and called on them to raise their fiscal investments over the next two years. \n\nMr Lowe urged premiers to roll out programs, “which didn’t lead to permanent increases public spending, to the tune of 2 per cent pf GDP or $40 billion”. \n\nThe Prime Minister said the total of all state and territory measures currently sat around $48 billion, but the RBA Governor indicated an additional $40 billion was needed. \n\n“This needs to be done in a coordinated way, don’t expect states and territories to be making announcements tomorrow morning about when that will be done,” Mr Morrison said. \n\nHe also announced Western Australia had joined the Job Trainer program which meant $1 billion in funding and 300,000 training places in an arrangement between the states, territories and Commonwealth. \n\nImage: Getty \n \n \n\n ScottMorrisonMP The number one issue is gov tyranny ScottMorrisonMP Lol.

Reporting season highlights sectors facing 'unbelievable headwinds' | Sky News AustraliaInvestSMART’s Evan Lucas says this reporting season reveals the sectors performing well and the ones which will face “unbelievable headwinds”. \n\n“It’s not just tourism and aviation, you actually look at things like banking and what banking has got to go through,” Mr Lucas told Sky News. \n\nThe coronavirus pandemic caused millions of banking customers to pause various loan repayments due to financial hardship. \n\n“If you look at what the banks are telling you, the deferments on their books and the amount of their customers that are having to look very seriously about going forward,” Mr Lucas said. \n\n“We need to remember there is actual business economic underlying risk inside the banking space because of COVID.\n\n“And that for me was the biggest takeout, not just seeing it from the economic numbers or listening to the government.”\n EvanLucas_INV this is a fake or an ill-informed article..banks are going to profit the most..they will benefit from deferred payment as they going to keep calculating the interest rates and add it to the principle..they have not written off any loans ..lol.
