AGED CARE ROYAL COMMISSION SPECIAL REPORT ON COVID-19
Julie Collins MP
The Royal Commission’s special report on COVID-19 confirms the Morrison Government had no plan for COVID-19 in aged care.
The result of the Morrison Government’s catastrophic failure is a national tragedy.
The foundations of our country’s aged care system have buckled under the pressure of a deadly disease and the Morrison Government did not do enough to stop it.
More than 660 older Australians have sadly died from COVID-19 in aged care homes.
Some families and loved ones were forced to say goodbye over Facetime.
Mothers and fathers, beloved grandparents and favourite aunts and uncles have been taken too soon.
Ants have been found crawling from wounds, with residents left to languish without care.
All because the Morrison Government failed to have a proper plan for COVID-19 in aged care.
Australians are owed action. The Morrison Government cannot announce its way out of this disaster.
The Morrison Government must implement the Royal Commission’s recommendations and it must be transparent about progressing them.
Scott Morrison and the failed Minister for Aged Care must do much more to ensure older Australians are safe and receiving high quality care in aged care homes.
Day after day the evidence mounts of serious neglect in aged care and every day all we see from the Morrison Government is running away, passing the buck and not accepting responsibility for its own failures.
Neglect. That’s the legacy of this Government when it comes to aged care.
Australians deserve better.
