Given the state of our Retirement homes and their treatment of residents, that do house lucid and communicative people,,,I Shudder to think of what might be happening to people who can not communicate easily.

AASGAAbuse 7 in 20 have major complaints. In what industry does that have a equal?

I can't believe this is still happening. What do we have to do, install hidden cameras in these facilities to make it stop

😞😲🤯😕☹️😮😧😖 Pronounced: *$%&^!£%&%!?! 😤😑😡😒☹️😩😠💢⚠️‼️😮😖🤬💩😡

Not just in disabled homes... There are real issues all over the country. SAVETHEKIDS

Where's the link to the report?

who owns and operates these group homes? they obviously benefit $$ from providing them to participants via the NDIS? how about the various levels of govt purpose build facilities and provide support staff that way the public can hold the govt to account instead of outsourcing

Until people/governments/institutions/policy state categorically that women are adult human females & that men can not self id as women,I can not believe their protestations of support for women. You can’t protect what you can’t define. SexNotGender WhatIsAWoman WomensRights

Hero of Australia a coward pedophile priest

YODsupporter What a shock.

It's going to get worse. My instagram feed has been flooded with companies advertising they can guide you through the process of becoming an NDIS provider, with the emphasis of the ads being on getting your hands on some of that sweet government funding.

When will this war (predominantly) against women end?
