It is good to see the Government put money into urgently needed age care facility. I am glad we oldies are not political football any longer. It also can help release hospital beds.
I am also pleased that the Government is getting rid of Howard's porky policy, and starting doing something real for this country. $500 will not do much for a frailed 90 year-old, but a nursing home bed will provide the care they really need. Good policy.
