Would I have ever thought I would have spent the evening messaging family members who have relatives in the sake aged care as me to say bring some food for your relative. The place has not been able to actually produce appropriate meals today. Australia! Seriously, aged care!

This is the same in aged care - national standards are disconnected from reality. I would argue that national standards be it child care , hospitals, aged care, are a failed regulatory model. They have been captured by business. theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Secret rating system kept parents in dark about safety fears at NSW childcare centre

Case in which parents were not told centre was in the ‘very high risk’ cohort illustrates a glaring safety gap, critics argue

When is a recall not a recall? When it is fixed overnight with a software update?? Maybe the law needs to redefine some of these parameters??? theguardian.com/technology/2…

WOW - what a very interesting risk associated with brain monitoring. The risk of reading inner speaking. arstechnica.com/science/2025…

Replying to @MarcTennant
If it stops just one elderly person in aged care being abused or raped it’s worth it. But I doubt nursing home owners would allow cameras as they’d show up the utter neglect elderly are subjected to as well.

Dont leave it to familes to have to break the law to show mistreatment of elders. Stop forcing people to be criminals when all they want is proper care provided with care. Start a CCTV trial just the same as in childcare!
