This is particularly unacceptable during a pandemic and should have been stopped months ago!
As I wrote weeks back, no great problem with previous policies from much earlier in the response both here and elsewhere, but the industry and governments should have learnt better lessons from the Newmarch disaster, along with other homes.
I can’t really blame the casual worker for working at multiple sites to make a living. It’s the systematic casualisation of the workforce that has come back to bite us in the Pandemic. It needs a major re-think.
Certainly does and months into this pandemic it is time to be getting angry about it in relation to aged care. This is not a matter of individual wrongdoings, rather a federal policy area. Mistakes resulting in unnecessary deaths have already long been made and they should have learnt from them, so no excuses from now on.
I agree with you but good luck in getting this federal government to make positive changes to their IR policies
I can assure you there will be a lot of IR policy changes in the not to distant future !
