Title: Heaven High Illustration: Matt Golding. Read the letters to the editor here:
I work at a community service in Gippsland, and twice in the past three weeks have come across people discharged from hospital without sub-acute, post-discharge home care. Both were discharged to relative homelessness.
My daughter is helping but lives 90 minutes away, so I may have to shop around for alternate care. It is poor that I have not received even a phone call from Mecwacare.
Robert Redlich QC’s call is a necessary first step. And it should be extended to all anti-corruption bodies, including the Victorian Inspectorate and Victorian Ombudsman. Furthermore, IBAC’s powers should be expanded. If and when we get a federal ICAC, it should have the same funding and powers. This has been arguably the worst, and certainly the most insidious, form of corruption facing not just Australians, but Western democracies.In the late 70s I had a good friend who worked as a waiter at the famous Melbourne eatery, Maxim’s. He could not wait to tell me that he had served Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, who were in Australia promoting their film, Grease, while they dined in a private area.
