    Pensioners Charged for Showers as Aged Care Giants Cash In | The West Report

    Is "bleed 'em dry until they die" the business model for the aged care sector? Do we really need showers, or are they just another optional extra in Australia’s brave new transactional aged care system? Michael West looks at aged care rorts and the latest on the NDIS. A class action has just lobbed for aged care empire Arcare for overcharging their customers, fees for no service. Forget the Albo and Kylie Minogue beat-up.
