The aged care industry in Australia has deteriorated so much that even a Royal Commission would not fix it. Doctors, lawyers and accountants have raped and pillaged the industry to such an extent they have become nothing more than a place to die, and the quicker the better.

PM suggests $9 billion cost of stage 4 restrictions in MelbourneThe newest measures in Victoria's harsh coronavirus restrictions could rip close to $10 billion out of the nation's economy in a matter of weeks, Prime Minister Scott Morrison says. He has been consistently wrong when it comes to predictions so I'm not putting any weight to what our commander in chief has to say. He should stop whinging and whining and just give help where it's needed. Sleazy deceptive bastard. He’s completely irrelevant and most people don’t care what he says.
