Aged care and aged-care facilities

Discussion of matter of public importance

MR SPEAKER: I have received letters from Ms MacDonald and Mr Cornwell proposing that matters of public importance be submitted to the Assembly. In accordance with standing order 79, I have determined that the matter proposed by Mr Cornwell be submitted to the Assembly, namely:

MR CORNWELL (3.25): I am not surprised, Mr Corbell, that there was no planning award for aged-care facilities in that list that you read out in response to Mr Hargreaves' question. And it is with a sense of deja vu that I stand here, Mr Speaker, to debate this MPI.

In July, as members will be aware, the media highlighted what they called a crisis in aged care here in the ACT. In August the Assembly debated the same matter and I have to say, as the mover of the motion, I was quite heartened by the support I received, at least in principle, from the crossbenches in recognition of the difficulties that we are facing.
