While the NSW Premier has stepped back from being accountable to the NSW community during the 11 am conferences, our state's nurses and midwives continue to work hard to keep our community safe through COVID-19 @nswnma

I'm pleased to announce that after extensive discussion between the Department of Health and the Department of Elf, Santa will be permitted entry to Victoria this Christmas.
It is great to see an intelligent, peaceful protest on an international scale. #australianwine

There is one key difference between the private aged-care market and Victoria’s state-run homes: only the latter has legislated minimum staffing ratios that govern clinical care of residents. #agedcare thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news…

Merle Mitchell AO.. I have trained the staff not to say to me 'this is your home'! It is not my home. It is a room with a bed and a chair and I receive care!! Now there is the truth! #agedcare @agedcareRC

Let’s focus on how we build a better aged care system. We need a system that has a human-rights based approach at its heart, supporting dignity, choice, freedom, independence and quality of life. grattan.edu.au/report/rethin… via @grattaninst

@GrattanInst report "Rethinking aged care" claims merely adding further Band-Aids to a broken system is not enough. Australia needs to start again with a new Aged Care Act that puts the rights of older Australians at the heart.
Bravo @stephenjduckett

US research shows that higher staffing & more nurses protected nursing home residents from COVID. Aged care is a federal responsibility. Why aren’t Victorian journalists clamouring for justice from the PM & Fed Govt for their failure to protect older Australians? #auspol

Vic premier faces no confidence motion sbs.com.au/news/vic-premier-… via @SBSNews A waste of time and resources showing a lack of anything constructive in the opposition’s portfolio!!!

We absolutely need more staff for aged care and a law to ensure every facility has an appropriate minimum baseline of staff and skills. Watch the full Aged Care 360 panel discussion from this week here: fal.cn/3a7QQ @Sue_Dunlevy #RatiosSaveLives #auspol

So sad so many #aged care residents have passed. They will be missed.
I just found out that one of our local residents, a lovely lady with whom I used to share the occasional whiskey, passed away in an Aged Care Home this week from Covid. On the day that some fools insist on attending the #melbourneprotest, I’ll raise a glass to her tonight.
