the rorting has been going on for a long time Daddybang, enabled from all sides of politics, there's a heap worse than has been said so far,
after watching the show I recon they have just put the bait out I think next week after the CEO and government have shot themselves in the foot the show will destroy them with the hard evidence that Scott Morrison is asking for to make sure this is ongoing and not just isolated incidences before he will act,
(what a slap in the face to the elderly that are abused), and a disgrace but the people put in place to make sure the standards were met have let everyone down, the show had thousands of PC's and nurses willing to share there story's but only a handfull would go on the show,
its not that the people who wouldn't go on the show are bad in any way its the system,
they are afraid for there jobs and there family's future, they don't like it but they need there job and feel helpless
one thing I have found insulting that has not come out, yet, is the saying that ozzies wont work, that these company's cant get ozzie workers so they get government funding to use people from over seas on employer sponsored visas so the company owns these peoples arse's,
these people cant talk or there visa is gone, at the end of it they get citizenship but they have to work for these company's for 5 years before,
what company would not want free government funded workers
I especially felt for the poor old deaf and blind lady on the show that the PC's did not communicate with that lived the last of her life miserably, she was hungry and thirsty all the time because she did not know when the PC's were there or not,
living out the last days of her life holding her drinking cup so someone might fill it up for her
PC's need better training eg. they do not have to know the aged care standards only have to know where the book is?
so how do the PC's know when they are doing the wrong thing?
and not everyone has empathy or compassion, its not for everyone
throwing more money at it wont fix it, if they throw more unskilled PC's at it wont fix it, plenty do rort the elderly already eg. no showering the residents but writing down you did, not feeding the residents because they are not quick enough to eat or feeding them to fast and choking them
its systematic abuse that's what it is
anyway there's plenty more to come out, lets hope it's handled in the right way
