Shadow Health Minister Chris Bowen has called on the Prime Minister to “fess up” and admit to cutting aged care funding during his time as Treasurer. Mr Bowen said the Morrison government's budget papers did not reflect its claim aged care spending increased by $1 billion each year over the past 10 years.
“Scott Morrison won’t acknowledge the aged care cuts, therefore he won’t fix them.” Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese is expected to outline Labor's eight-point plan to fix the aged care sector on Thursday. “What Anthony’s doing is recognising that aged care is a federal responsibility and it’s up to the Prime Minister and the alternative Prime Minister to accept that and not only to accept it but embrace it with a plan,” the Shadow Health Minister said.
Bowenchris Hey! That's twice in one week! Is Chris after some sort of prize? Dodged a bullet with him. auspol
Bowenchris “Scott Morrison won’t acknowledge the aged care cuts, therefore he won’t fix them.” Worse than that. When confronted and asked a question, the Minister runs away. This strikes at the core of Liberal party belief. Failure, and no fix coming.
Bowenchris I propose give this money back to the oldies deduct it from all politicians salaries
Bowenchris Blaaah blaaah blaaah
Bowenchris Bowen was a failed ‘try hard’ as shadow Treasurer and appears to be achieving the same failures as shadow Health Minister. The only problems in Agedcare homes in Victoria has been Dan Andrews incompetence in letting Covid escape quarantine to the community.
Bowenchris and your proof being or is the truth just a bit inconvenient at the moment
Bowenchris Both parties have failed the elderly living in aged care facilities. COVIDVIC19 has just highlighted the reality what for profit means. These are people NOT commodities. Why has the for profit sector gone unchecked for so long?

'Labor's games will not change a thing for vulnerable Australians': Aged Care Minister | Sky News AustraliaAged Care Minister Richard Colbeck has outlined and defended the government’s response to the coronavirus crisis in the nation’s troubled aged care sector amid criticisms of ill-preparedness. \n\nSpeaking to the Senate, Mr Colbeck insisted “I have been there, we have been there, every step of the way every day … we have not stopped planning, adapting and implementing”. \n\n“For us this has never been about politics, the operation of the national cabinet demonstrates that,” he said. \n\n“Labor can have their ‘gotcha’ moments, they can ridicule and show disrespect to our most senior medical officials on the use of language at COVID meetings. \n\n“Labor’s games will not change a thing for the Australians who need our help the most.”\n\nThe Minister said he worked closely with his Victorian counterpart during the health crisis and had reached out to multiple Labor MPs to assist them in identifying coronavirus outbreaks in their electorates. \n\n“Responding to this cruel virus and its impact on communities remains my focus,” Mr Colbeck said. \n\n“We are all ultimately responsible for the decisions made to protect the people we love the most, that is my focus, to deliver the plan to keep senior Australians safe.” \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n\n\n\n richardmcolbeck He walked away from the debate,scarpered away like a coward richardmcolbeck Fake news.

New data shows 70 per cent health care staff infected at work | Sky News AustraliaNew data has indicated about 70 per cent of health care workers infected with the coronavirus contracted the disease at their workplace.\n\nVictoria Chief Medical Officer Andrew Wilson confirmed the statistic on Tuesday, saying “poor infection practice has probably been the main driver of infection.” \n\nHealth personnel made up a significant portion of the state’s active caseload, with about 70 per cent of infected frontline workers sourced to nurses and about nearly half of those from aged care settings. \n\nThe new figure is a drastic leap from a previous claim by the state’s chief health officer who said only about 15 per cent of health workers caught the virus in their work setting. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia So would it be safe to say that Health Care Workers were a source of community transmission Sounds about right. It’s the opposite of what the Vic government said so it must be true. Did any of them die? 🤔
