It would be nice to have less returns and more humanity ....but you know that's not the way the game is played
As long as greedy shareholders demand excessive returns this will the way. Sad eh
Corporates aren't benevolent societies

They wont have a choice imo w69,the Labour govt will though.
Whoops apologies for the politics slip up folks; but you get my drift.
The bottom line is someone has to pay for good quality late stage care, corporations are not charities.
So the carer (the lowest paid worker) should pay rather than the person getting the care (if they have assets over the designated maximum)?
Seems a bit unfair to me really.
Fortunately I'm not a carer and, frankly, wouldn't take the job if you paid me all the tea in China.
I think people like that are worth their weight in gold!
My opinion - The Govt need to be looking at stepping up to the plate if they want caregivers to be paid the sort of wages that have been outlined. The present weekly rates paid for late stage care won't be anywhere near enough.

Does anyone know if retirement village units are included in the housing stats?
I have a feeling that they aren't and are part of the missing component expaining why we aren't as short of houses as we seem to think.
There is no doubt that retirement villages play a vital 'efficient' housing role.
