Aged Care Brutality

10/11/2018

0 Comments

 
Thousands of you were upset by this picture of a lady allegedly attacked by staff in a nursing home that we placed on our FaceBook page and expressed your outrage.

There will never be a trial as she has dementia but I think we all saw a little of ourselves in this and have some concern for the future.

There will have to be repercussions..hopefully a Federal inquiry into the aged care industry and as an advocacy for all things about Boomers, BONZA encourages you to talk about how wrong it is to friends, family, social media and letters to the editor of your local media outlet....don't forget you members of parliament and don't give up..its your future so make a difference.

REVIEW of First National Thank A Cop Day 19.9.18

1/10/2018

​By Brian Murphy (for PM, Premiers, Police Ministers, Education Ministers, business groups and companies, community groups, editors, radio program producers and other interested bodies)

The idea for a National Thank a Cop day came from talking to a cop in McDonalds one morning and he mentioned that he was feeling very negative about the role and the lack of appreciation shown by the public for what they do. I really felt for him and decided that many of us just never get the chance to say thank you to them and we should make a day to do so.

A day when the public celebrates the tremendous efforts of our police in keeping us all safe and protecting and enforcing the laws. We owe them so much, so this day is to remind them of that on a national large-scale basis and the emphasis is on celebration.

I did some research and found that there were some special days being held in some states such as Blue Ribbon Day in Victoria and Tasmania for fallen officers but nothing general to thank them on a national basis.

I decided to go ahead and challenge the public to support such a day and started an email and Facebook campaign to develop a solid push for it.

This is a story that happened in Spain on the 29th May 2016. My mate Keith Blake was travelling with his wife Sally and he sent me this on Facebook. They were attacked by two young men.

" We have felt safe in Spain so far, having only seen one incident of pick pockets on the Metro. But today we were targeted.

We had been shopping and stopped at a little bar for a rest and a wine on the way home.
