Ugh ACAT, when Mum's dementia was worsening we had one ACAT meeting and got a few things set up because she wanted to stay in her home.
Fast forward 7 months and I called again asking to escalate it to get further help. 2 months went by and I rang and said why have we not had a meeting yet for extra help. They told me they rang Mum to ask her is she needed further help and Mum said no so the appointment was cancelled. I said she has dementia, she will say anything because she wants to please people. They told me they didn't actually have to tell me the outcome of their conversations with Mum. I didn't know whether to cry or be angry. The rules are often stupid and counter-intuitive.
Wtf.
She has no capacity, do you have an AHD?
 
Yeah who cares about aged care? Was the biggest issue last year, now you want to complain they are talking about it?

I’d say most people would be more concerned in fixing such a vital part of the country than an allegation over something that happened over 30 years ago.
Except the alleged rapist is a cabinet minister (and a very high-ranked one, if it’s who everyone thinks it is)
 
I just caught a bit on the project that said Morrison hadn't read the documents he was given on the case, how stuffed is that if true

At least if Scott (and Jen) could read the Crikey article I've posted a few of the more shocking allegations from below.
Jane and John are pseudonyms used by the writer.

'Crikey hopes that by publishing details of the allegations, other potential victims might recognise this pattern'

'The pair first met in 1986 and again in 1987 in Adelaide when Jane was 15 at a national school competition. The group of students travelling together became close friends, socialising, dancing and studying together.'

'Jane believed she was drugged by John on the night of January 9, 1988.'

'After dancing in Kings Cross, Jane — who said she was in a dissociative state — agreed to a non-penetrative sex act propositioned by John. Jane wrote that she agreed to the act because she had been hurt by John’s comments about her body.

He then allegedly violently forced Jane into performing oral sex on him despite her saying no. Jane said he kicked her to the ground and wrapped his hands around her neck.

Later, she said he bathed her thoroughly, dressed her and comforted her as she fell asleep telling her it was “all a bad dream”.

She said she woke to John anally raping her. He allegedly r*ped her twice without a condom.

“The only thing that I remember [John] saying to me was that was ‘I don’t want to get you pregnant’,” Jane wrote.

The next day, Jane said John joked about how the night “might have been different” if he had a condom before referring to his “good Catholic girlfriend” back home.'

I think it might surprise normal men how many rapes or rape attempts a woman goes through in a lifetime, me 4 attempts one at knifepoint. Fortunately for me, I know how to defend myself so I got away but others not so lucky. BTW 3 were people I trusted, one was some dick at a party at a flash house in Kew.

Have the same issues, not only tells them she doesn’t need the help arranged but when doing the assessment says she does everything herself, which she hasn’t for a long time!

Mine has shocking paranoia, hates strangers in her house and the other night rang up saying someone with a light was in her backyard. Whilst I was there she saw it again, was a streetlight in the other street. Yet she claimed it moved.

Whilst I was there a possum ran along the fence and a fox was roaming the street so its likely it was that but she’s associated the light and the animal moving as one thing.
 
Morrison is the perfect sociopath. World revolves around him, and at the first whiff of being called out he shifts the focus to someone else. "I've got daughters" and "I've got parents who are elderly", as if either statement is somehow unique to himself, or a justification for any decisions made. When continued questioning gets too much, goes the smirk/passive-aggressive "mate" angle.

He can't help it.
 
Key report recommendation ignored as resident providers receive $190m funding

Ian Yates, the chief executive of the Council on the Ageing, has questioned whether it was appropriate for the Morrison government to provide $190m in funding to residential aged care providers in its immediate response to the aged care royal commission final report today.

Speaking to ABC TV, Yates said he was “a bit surprised” that residential providers, some of which had been scorned in the final report, had been given the $189.9m in “temporary financial support” without a requirement they spend it on staff – a key recommendation in the report.

Cabinet minister rape claim: Sarah Hanson-Young doesn't rule out naming accused MP in parliament
Senator says ‘crisis of integrity’ hangs over government while minister remains in post, as legal experts say prosecution possible despite alleged victim’s death

Sarah Hanson-Young has accused Scott Morrison of a “deafening” silence over the historical rape allegation against a cabinet minister and has left open the possibility of detailing the complaint in parliament.

Centrist parties don't work/exist because "why would you bother going in to battle if you kind of agree with both sides?". To start a party, you need a conviction. As a centrist, if you watch the voters bounce between right and left, you probably end up with roughly what you would have been proposing anyway.
They do exist in certain parts of the world, most prominently in the Nordic countries where they've routinely been the main party forming governments. Funnily enough, most of the Nordic centrist parties grew out of agrarian movements, whereas our agrarian movement gave us the self-serving conservative-enabling Nationals. Another example is France, where a centrist party is currently in government, but the traditional French left and right parties are basically dead now, and the present major party divide is between cosmopolitan centrists and nativist xenophobes. So it can work in systems outside Australia, but maybe not here.

Also, my understanding is that Menzies intended for the Liberals to be a centrist party, not a conservative one, but that's what it has evolved into.
