For personal care, a full pensioner will pay $5/day or $35/week, a self-funded retiree will pay $50 or $350 a week. Add cleaning, meals & transport & costs soon add up to become unaffordable for people on limited incomes. Having to choose between a meal & shower is not ok in 21st century Australia.

There is no maximum cap on what an older person has to pay for services under Australia’s new Support at Home program. I argued at the Senate Inquiry that fees should be capped at 10% of fortnightly income. The government was not interested. Do we really want old people living in poverty?

So for book 30/30 it is books. These small wonderlands, each of them outstanding, a potpourri of sustenance. I keep them all close by, as in each there are sentences, words that bring solace or joy or delight or amazement or literary euphoria - whatever it is that my day shouts at me that I need.

Really interesting work which indicates a need for long term research to follow the progression of the brain changes, the potential for remyelination and influencing factors - they note the role of exercise- and correlation to post mortem brain pathology
