Former speaker of the house Bronwyn Bishop says shutting people in aged care homes off from their loved ones is a “dreadful thing to do to them in terms of anguish and mental health”.

Her comments come after the release of a report by the Royal Commission on the federal government’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis. “These are people who are in residential aged care homes, that is their home,” Ms Bishop said.

“These people deserve to have dignity and to have respect from the people they work with. “And shutting them off from their loved ones and people who would come and visit them is really a dreadful thing to do for them in terms of anguish, and mental health for them.”

Same as shutting the borders and cutting partners and families off from seeing one another for months on end.

Thanks Bronwyn for pointing out that the international borders where all Australian infections came through and aged care where most Australians have died are a Federal Government responsibility and their decisions.

Is somebody still putting a microphone in front of Cruella? Maybe she can fly in on the chopper and help wash them in kerosene baths....

Age Care Minister Colbeck Has to resign Unnecessary deaths no real plan Disgraceful

Allowing the Federal Government to ignore their sworn duty should be the headline. Show some courage BrowynBishop, they won’t take your pension.

‘Will you shut up man’: Trump and Biden get personal in first debate | Sky News AustraliaThe first US presidential debate has quickly turned ugly with Joe Biden asking Donald Trump to “shut up man”.\n\nPresident Trump tried to command the stage from the beginning of the debate by interrupting his rival to make his point clear. \n\nPresident Trump claimed Biden will capitulate to the Left of his party on healthcare, arguing 'Joe, you agreed with Bernie Sanders, who is far left, on the manifesto, we call it, and that gives you socialised medicine'.\n\n'Look, hey. I'm not going to listen to him. The fact of the matter is, I beat Bernie Sanders,' Biden said.\n\nBiden however lost his patience with the president after being repeatedly interrupted by him during Tuesday night’s debate.\n\n“Would you shut up, man?” the former vice president told Trump.\n\nBiden then claimed the debate-which was only 20 minutes in- was “so un-presidential”.\n\n'That was a productive segment, wasn't it? Keep yapping man.'\n\nHillary Clinton has even taken to Twitter to admit she would have loved to tell Donald Trump to “shut up” in her 2016 debate against the president.\n\n “Will you shut up, man' is the line of the night. I feel so sorry for Hillary right now because I’m positive she wanted to say that and couldn’t,” Tweeted Jill Filipovic.\n\nMs Clinton responded saying “you have no idea”.\n JoeBiden realDonaldTrump Neither of them is a proper statesman. JoeBiden realDonaldTrump Trump should have been a little less interrupting when Biden spoke, just so Biden could fall over into his usual display of not making sense! I still go for Trump though! JoeBiden realDonaldTrump Asking to shut up? More like losing his temper and emotions and thus showing his real personality.

Australians must have 'one rule for all' | Sky News AustraliaExecutive Director of Independent Contractors of Australia Ken Phillips says Australians must live in a society where there is one rule for everyone, which is why those responsible for Melbourne’s failed hotel quarantine should be prosecuted.\n\nMr Phillips plans to argue section 131 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act means third parties have the ability to name people responsible for workplace injuries and call to have them prosecuted by WorkSafe Victoria.\n\n“We have written to the authority, and said look here’s the situation, please prosecute,” Mr Phillips told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.\n\n“We’ve got to make sure that we live in a society in which there’s one rule for everyone.\n\n“There is a very serious cause to prosecute, the evidence in the inquiry is at admissions from many people inside the government that the quarantine program was a failure.”\n The independent contractors have a union boss? There can’t be one rule for politicians and one rule for everyone else. More IPA reps' on Sky...
