Elder abuse is often hard to distinguish in nursing home environments.It can be called abuse not showering residents daily,however if you go against their wishes and shower after they decline- that can be called abuse. Also when you are dealing with someone with dementia and being hit,punched and spat on by that person: what do you do? can't not look after them,but i know a lot of people find it hard to listen to them screaming when being undressed. If they have soiled themselves,you have to change them! we are damned if we do and damned if we don't. - Linda Robinson
Very often, the oppressed (in this case, women) fall in with the oppressors (men) in order to maintain some sort of power even if it’s at the benevolence of misogynists. Good description of Julie Bishop. - Tony W
My usual doctor rarely touches me which is a good thing. On the down side I have to wait more than an hour to see her and with a lung disease, the coughs and cold viruses hit me in the waiting room. When I do see her, she often talks about herself. Probably because I have a "mental" signature about me. She is good though~ and writes repeat prescriptions without me having to have an actual consultation. Partners are handy for many reasons, one of which are questions like "what is that on your back" and other hard to see places. My sister who lives far away has been diagnosed with a melanoma and is using some new fangled topical cream, medically prescribed.. She loves the sun. It brings her joy and I assume relief from some of her own "mental" issues, including vanity. She is now going to have to cover up. - ro.watson
I've read your article twice Mandy, and I don't think you're being racist at all, latent or otherwise... I concur completely, even though I don't think censoring art is always effective and like prohibition can drive it underground. However, in the case of horrendous misogynistic violence, legislators really have to intervene. Since when was it cool to incite hatred? - Lee-Anne
Excellent piece Gabrielle, and sanguine...if it wasn't for the enlightened views aired through Hoopla et al, we'd all curl up and die of cynicism and despondency. The government's achievements have been great but we never hear about it in the current climate of media bias and witch-hunt frenzy. Keep it up, please! - Lee-Anne
The woman that fought long & hard to stop the victims of mesothelioma from asbestos getting the compensation they deserved is PM material? Really? - LGH

Pseudonym. The article isn't about shortfalls in the government. It's about the actual achievements. Also, Jacqueline posted a link to the following site which gives information on more than 100 changes made. www.Whathasthegovernmenteverdoneforus.com - helen b
Please google the health benefits of turmeric/curcumin as a preventative/or cure, for bowel cancer, breast, dementia and lots of other things. There is so much evidence that it works. Dr Mercola and GreenMedInfo.com are wonderful sources for health information. - Victoria Thompson
