The bottom line is that there is not enough money. If everyone is to be treated with standards that we hope for, then, we may well bankrupt the country. Its every man and woman for themselves!

I was on this subject elsewhere and raised the question of why, if private enterprise is so efficient etc, the government would prefer to pay subsidies to private enterprise, thus feeding their profit line, than actually run aged care itself at a lower cost and guaranteed return of tax etc back into THIS economy...
Or even pay more for a home carer within family.... we see a relentless push to pay women for staying at home and sprogging etc... I mean - where else can this nonsense about 'income gap' and 'superannuation gap' go, if not to pay women to stay at home?
So - to save on subsidies to enrich foreign investors - would we not be better off having a paid in-home family carer?
If private enterprise is so much more efficient - why does it need subsidies that often vanish offshore into tax havens or into the ten million dollar home for the daughter of one of the principals?
