Dear Loreene, Hope you've had a great week!   Did you know that 5,000 elderly Australians died this year waiting for appropriate aged-care support in their own homes? In Senate estimates I quizzed public servants on the shocking case of Frank and Valma, a 99 year-old couple from Gippsland.   They are on a 12-month waiting list to receive in-home aged care support.   By the time they receive it, Frank and Velma will both be 100.   I raised this couple’s plight on behalf of Darren Chester, Member for Gippsland.   Frank and Valma. All they needed was a bit of home help.   If Frank and Valma were Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, they would get the home care package prioritised.   Sorry, not good enough Mr Albanese. Don’t leave Frank & Valma behind.   I will update you on the outcome of this story.
