@twtrrr@AmandaRishworth This is completely outrageous.
Can you speak to a review officer at Centrelink and get this overturned? Hopefully, there is an ARO prepared to listen to your completely valid story.
I'll keep my fingers crossed - not much more I can do at the moment.
@senatorpennyqld I'm very glad that the Inspector-General has spoken out against, Albo, the neoliberal accountant, with fiscal austerity obsession. What really worries me is by the time that Four Corners, or whoever, does a probing report into this huge scandal, many elderly will be dead.
@Busybee32433175@senatorpennyqld It's true that, in general, the boomers have done better than Gen X (many of whom got very badly shafted by oldies), Gen Y and Gen Z. The attention should be CHOICES made by governments since 1979 and thereabouts.
@Busybee32433175@senatorpennyqld Not true. 4. Samaras on 7.30 (ABC TV): “Boomers are not a monolith.”
On ABC’s 7.30 (2022), Samaras explained:
“People talk about Boomers as if they’re all sitting on millions. That’s not true. Many are renters, many have no super, many are doing it tough.”
@Busybee32433175@senatorpennyqld A lot of people stuck waiting for a home care aged care place are silent generation (1924-1945). The median age of people entering home care is 82 (AIHW, Aged Care Data Snapshot, 2024). This means that they can not possibly be rich boomers.

@RobbieBarwick Those French subs might have been better.
Nobody who has studied or read about US foreign policy would want to hop into bed with the Yanks.
Hearing tomorrow into the functions of the NACC including the lack of public hearings, the terrible timeframes and why it has had no substantive findings to date!
My father was one of the legal elder/integrity experts who consulted with the AG about the shape of the NACC, indeed even wrote a book about why we so desperately needed a strong one. He died gutted at the shadow we were granted. He’d love to see this fight back. #auspol
EX-TRUMP VOTER: “I’m not into politics, but I know what’s right and wrong. The way Trump is treating us poor people is bad, because Trump has never been poor… living in Trump’s 2nd term is like living in the Great Depression.”
