The idea that this minister could blame the opposition for his problems is beyond belief—but anyway. Virginia's 85-year-old father, a Jeta Gardens resident who has dementia and COVID-19, is locked in his room. He is disorientated and thinks he has been abandoned. The aged-care home isn't communicating with his family—an aged-care home this minister was warned about. How bad does the neglect of older Australians need to be before this minister resigns?
