Narrative Faultlines

People aren’t becoming irrational — institutions don't protect people, politicians don't represent you, the powerful face no consequences...

@twtrrr @AmandaRishworth Including the public servants who LIED at senate estimates to @BarbaraPocock. They should be paying their legal fees themselves.

@twtrrr @AmandaRishworth It's absolutely outrageous. I'm so sorry.

@senatorpennyqld Parts of this huge scandal look very much like the UK aged care scandal under the John Major govt in the mid-1990s.

@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!

@lucyham Sad to hear your dad was gutted by the failed NACC - he was one of the decent guys.

[Lucy Hamilton 😵‍💫 @lucyham]

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
