You know who should be filling the staffing gaps in aged care? Not the ADF. Not volunteers. Well-paid, well-trained, well-regulated carers and nurses. Period. #auspol #Election2022
@the_shb Yes, because there is a huge surplus of well trained, appropriately qualified workers just holding out for an extra 10 bucks an hour to go work in care homes ... wait, I’m just getting word through that they are in fact as scarce as rocking horse droppings.
@the_shb .... and more on duty. Two to a pod of oldies aren't enough - and only one in the mid-afternoons.
@the_shb If train drivers average $ 100,000 pa, nurses should be on $100,000 plus...Australia can still operate without trains, not so without nurses and essential workers.
@the_shb Exactly. Do we expect eager young high school leavers to be rushing to unis to do a nursing degree…🤔
@the_shb @mackaysuzie Can't get staff? Need to pay more with better conditions.
@the_shb @mrspearing Oh, the callousness, oh have a heart! Think of all the profits that will be destroyed! Profits that won't flow back into the coffers of this corrupt govt, profits to be used to buy yet more influence & facilitate yet more privatisation of public services! Oh, the horror!
