Elder abuse cases the 'tip of the iceberg', royal commission hearsShocking cases of elder abuse exposed by the ABC's Four Corners program are the tip of the iceberg, the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety is told. A Royal Commission is never undertaken unless they know the outcome before embarking. Yep, shame on you ABC your bitter little hatreds & prejudices are awful. I just wish that someone would listen to my experience in a well known facility. And I am able to look out for myself. Threats, abuse, room invasion and victimisation.
