Kon Kontis & Vicky Kos will be required to give evidence at #StBasilsInquest. They played a central role in management of the aged care home when 45 residents died of COVID-19 last year. They’d sought to be excused. Judge John Cain has denied that request. https://t.co/zNlckZmD1k
'Key evidence from two witnesses was set to be the climax to weeks of hearings into 50 deaths at #StBasils Home for the Aged.
That evidence lasted all of a minute'

There was an expectation that the surge workforce would be well-trained, experienced registered nurses. However, many staff in surge workforce were previously employed as untrained support workers in the community to do housekeeping and shopping. 3/3

Coronial Inquest into St Basil's continued today. Commonwealth's Head of Aged Care implementation didn't have a degree and decisions were made from Canberra by people who didn't really know what was going on. #StBasils #StBasilsInquest https://t.co/UtjTNdb9NX
For those trying to blame Brett for leaving St. Basil's without staff, it seems the biggest mistake he made was trusting the Federal Government to do their job. #LNPDisgrace #IStandWithBrett #StBasilsInquest #auspol
@MelissaLDavey Fed govt gave $millions to Mable and Aspen Medical to provide a “surge workforce”.
Colbeck gave an assurance that a "surge workforce" was prepared if staff at an aged care home had to be furloughed.
Why was the surge workforce not better prepared?

While our attention is on #StBasilsInquest let's not forget 685 residents died of Covid last year.
These deaths were preventable.
The fed govt & @AgedCareQuality must explain how this heart-breaking tragedy – that many of us predicted – occurred on their watch.

“St Basil’s was horrific. I cried several times on site and I’m pretty tough. They have written many residents off as palliative.” The place is a mess. It not is stable or improving.” Terrifying! #agedcare #StBasilsInquest #auspol https://t.co/CFgchxmB2l

“Fit for purpose!” How could she? Politicised? #StBasilsInquest

13 April 2020 Colbeck said: “We have plans in place for worst-case scenarios where an outbreak...mean local staff are unable to continue to provide care due to an infection in the service.”
This was not true.
There was no plan.

Will Richard Coleback be required to give evidence at the inquest? He may find it different to avoiding answering questions at Estimates. #StBasilsInquest
@7NewsMelbourne Counsel assisting says they do not wish to blame the managers or care workers who were put in place by Commonwealth for the deficiencies in care. "There were too few workers to provide care at the level residents deserved & that the law required." #StBasilsInquest @7NewsMelbourne
