BellingenNSWLeaving the care of the vulnerable young and old up to the profit motive "That process of "marketisation" — where the profit motive is used to regulate relationships between citizens and the state, and citizens and providers of social services, by transforming social relationships into market goods and services — has been applied to everything from education to health, housing, child care, aged care, and employment services... The federal government continues to support for-profit providers through huge childcare subsidies.""The current system needs fundamental change". >> <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-22/childcare-aged-care-abuse-neglect-privatisation-australia/105067714" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-22/childcare-aged-care-abuse-neglect-privatisation-australia/105067714</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/care" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#care</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SocialServices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialServices</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/privatising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privatising</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ChildCare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChildCare</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/AgedCare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AgedCare</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#education</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/regulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#regulation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/marketisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#marketisation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NeglectAndAbuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NeglectAndAbuse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/governance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#governance</a>

"no one wanting to visit them".Folk sought to increase communication between Fam&Friends and Aged Care residents. Made an app. Technically a success. But it appeared to them that Fam&Friends actually didn't want to communicate with the elderly person in care.Am asking, "In purely selfish things, what do you get for you out of interacting with geriatric / frail / senile / institutionalised aged folk?"Anything at all?<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AgedCare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AgedCare</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WhyBother" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhyBother</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Values" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Values</a>
