BREAKING: Gas policy announced by party in the pocket of gas corporations developed by... gas corporations.
A clear admission here from the Department that Labor is rationing - i.e. denying - aged care from older Australians. And they're using an untested algorithm that is consistently under-assessing care to do their dirty work for them.

This is an important win with Labor forced to restore the sunset clause. It’s clear though that they intend to work with the Libs to expand warrant less questioning and we will keep fighting them!
