The problem is that the not for profits like Presbyterian support who don't have property development will find themselves in a very difficult position after this ruling, where will the extra money come from to pay the extra wage bill? Unless the Govt increases the subsidy rates significantly, many not for profits will go to the wall, which is a crying shame because many of them offer excellent care models to their residents. I'm picking the Govt will be forced to up their game here.
