Firstly, I would like to Thank the 12,026 Australian voices so far, who are calling out together to have this INHUMAN Algorithm STOPPED and replaced with Qualified Gerontologists who understand what we go through every day, to enable them to make the final decisions on our behalf. Also thank you to the people who have commented and donated, all your actions are appreciated, although we have asked for no money it has assisted us in getting this petition sent to more people to see and support our plight.

To the papers, reporters and to change.org Australia who have allowed us our voices I thank you. This is a Voting Issue and each day when I see your voices in the various outlets I will try to acknowledge you with “I Agree”. So, keep it going please. And please keep signing so we can get this to the Parliament Floor.

This morning I reflected on our issue. As a coin collector I picked up a coin which I had not classified in my collection. I looked and was very upset to see the embossing on the coin. Let me show you, I have placed a picture in the update.

You all can see that it states “1999 International Year of Older Persons” it also has an inscription “towards a society for all ages”.

This makes me ashamed and angry that since that time 1999 when the government of the day [Liberal] declared this. Wanting to celebrate we existed! The then government and the now government have ignored that the Baby Boomers will need more  Help in Aged Care NOW - 0ver 25 years of our tax money to be put away, where is it?

 We have not suddenly gotten younger though if we did, we could get our Hospital Covers cheaper? We have always paid the correct tax and usually more as we have invested in our country, we have voted for the government which we have believed to do the correct thing for all Australians, even us.

The politicians haven’t changed they have misused OUR money, hidden behind words, and through their corrupt ways of governing spent the benefits which should be being used for this issue. I’m sure it is not a job which an honest person sees doing but we thought that they were able to at least govern well enough in our interests, otherwise we would not have believed the spiel they had said and voted for them

Keep your voices going as we are making it difficult for the current Minister for Aged Care, his boss and all the Ministers you have contacted telling your valid stories.

The ombudsman has called them out for the improper and illegal way in which they make their decisions for Aged Care.

It is not just this government who needs to address this issue but all future governments as the Former Governments of the Day Liberal/ Labour and any other entity which calls themselves politicians who haven't done their job and treated us as gullible. Well, we were as we believed if we voted them in, they would assist us in a HUMAN way.

You will need to prove your worth we will not be fooled by your empty vessel promises. DO YOUR JOB and NO CANBERRA SPEAK. You are directly responsible for One Nations meteoric rise. Shame on you all!

We need to see positive valid changes before the next election because your word is not enough anymore.
