Dementia is the leading cause of death for Australian women and the second biggest killer for all Australians.
Hamish Macdonald is on a mission to make us talk more about the cruel disease.
This is appalling @CommBank . Destroying a Melbourne tradition of Bay 13 cheek and making getting a seat even harder for families in a cost of living crisis. A complete PR own goal.
We are saddened to hear of the passing of broadcaster and Dementia Australia Patron Sir Michael Parkinson CBE. We honour and acknowledge Parky for his extraordinary contributions and the difference he has made to people impacted by dementia in Australia and around the world.

@MCC_Members just tried to book two days at the Melb test. The ticket process abysmal. Time outs, seating plan does not show, greyed out barcode field really hard to see & no ability to book multi days in one transaction. Ticketek is a liability. Dump them!
@theheraldsun on the 86 tram ... cold, wet, rainy, lots of passengers & so many not wearing masks. Where is the enforcement? #maskson@VictoriaPolice

Thank you Treasurer @JoshFrydenberg for meeting with @GraemeSamuel & @MareeMcCabe on behalf of the half a million Australians living with dementia and the 1.6 million people involved in their care about our Roadmap to Quality Dementia Care & budget submission #auspol#budget2021
My presentation will be personal, at times emotional and confronting. But by putting the human back into policy-speak I hope to demonstrate why implementing the Roadmap is absolutely essential for the future of all us. https://t.co/QrkxaGv5Fj
