Welcome to episode 9 of TLDR[auspol]! There's kind of no show notes today, this week Rhi and Aby take a wander down COVID lane. With half the country in lockdown this is a much simpler chat on what the pandemic has taught us about our system, and how they're both thinking about the current events.

There's no key takeaways. And no links to read. Just a chat.

Welcome to episode 7 of TLDR[auspol]! This week Annabelle and Rhi begin one of two deep dives on budget announcements, this week taking a look at Aged Care.

Some episode disclaimers:

- When we say RC, we mean Royal Commission
- Abby says there are 103 older Australians waiting for a homecare package, but the figure is actually 103,000
- The episode is longer than normal, soz
- We tried using the term 'earholes' and we didn't like it and won't do it again

In this episode, you'll hear about:

- Just how much money was allocated to aged care in the budget
- How aged care support is currently delivered/subsidised
- The recommendations of the royal commission, and the importance of re-writing the Act and the role of regulation/governance
- Aged care and feminism
- And some parting thoughts on what we think about it all
