Dear aged care minister, and aged care act cat herding Anika Wells

Alwyn blayse here.

Anika Wells I know you’re having a ball in Adelaide with your 2000 rich aged care providers mate  at the Aged & Community Care Providers Association conference in Adelaide (who look pretty financially sustainable to many btw) but can the Australian public have a moment of your time ? 

I know you ignored 40,000 people wanting older people to have allied health and dental. But can we try again?

Can you pls listen to 11000 plus people and all the advocates and older people this time? Pretty please ?

Because rather than hearing you bragging you will  herd parliamentary cats to pass an aged care act by Christmas, could you instead find out why the cats seem to need herding in the first place? 

What’s making these cats so nervous they are getting claws out fearful of public backlash to your back room shenanigans with Anne Ruston ? If you do listen you will hear many cats have heard their people are VERY upset you are helping your provider mates  to take our super, family home and kids inheritance with no guarantee it will be passed on for older people ? 

You’re not a talented enough cat herder minister to bully your cats or spin a cynical public that’s it ok for an act that is supposed to protect older people but has no criminal or effective financial penalties.

Esp when Anthony Albanese was elected on putting dodgy aged care providers in jail and Peter Dutton supposedly is tough on criminals. 

Cat herding didn’t seem to stop providers sacking 6000 physios ot and allied health , nor did threats to providers if they didnt pass on $800 million for allied health. They seem to be enjoying the $500 million they kept in Adelaide it seems. 

I don’t think any cat will be ok being herded who has listened to the needs of older people from those in their electorate, @Older Persons Advocacy Older Persons Advocacy Network  , COTA Australia - for older Australians , Aged Care Reform Now , Aged Care Justice - Formerly ALARM  and witnesses and submissions to the senate community affairs committee on the real way  to truly improve aged care. I’d put down your cat herding tools and stock up on dettol cream because you’ll have a cat fight on your hands esp when this petition with over 11000 signatures is lodged! 

Help our elected political cats still fighting this awful aged care act by signing our senate petition here. Lodging before Christmas ! https://www.change.org/handsoffoursuper
