Four Corners Report tonight 26/06/17- AVEO
Mr Turnbull, If the report on children in custody in the N.T, moved you to call a Royal Commission, surely the same must apply to the appalling treatment some of our Aged People are receiving from this Company and maybe others. Many of these Aged People have been the backone of this Country, War heroes, and their Wives and Widows. It is time to stop the kind rhetoric on Anzac Day and actually do something about this shameful behaviour. It is is In-Humane, driven by greed by overseas investors and totally, Un-Australian. Shame on this Company, and this is allowed to happen in Australia is absolutely appalling. Can you just imagine the stress and anxiety this must be causing these people in their twilight years? They deserve respect, care, honesty and dignity, not being ripped off by "Granny Farmers"! Step up Malcolm, and the Minister for the Aged, let's see some some Leadership from you to stop this. This is totally intolerable. Make a move Malcolm, we expect you to fight this "big time."
My Son is a contract Painter at one of the leading retirement villages here in N.S.W. When I was selling up my place he said I should check out the retirement villages he works in. I went to 2. Beautifully set out places, Swimming Pools, Gyms, Hairdressers, Men's Shed, Ladies craft rooms and weekly shopping buses which take the residents to one of the largest shopping centres nearby. Everything looked great but when I started asking questions about the price for the units and the weekly bills for the upkeep of the gardens around the place, the old cash register in my head started to get a shock. It didn't have a parking garage and I would have to park in one of the designated areas, all for a weekly parking fee. I could have meals brought to my unit if I wanted, another fee. They suggested I get a Solicitor to check out the details, it would take a Philadelphia Lawyer to figure it out. And the exit fee if I decided I didn't like it after a few months were enormous, more if I carked it. If the unit wasn't sold after my passing my family would have to keep paying the rent on it until it was sold. No thank you very mucho! I bought into a lovely little Villa and I am the boss.
