A viral post claims vaccine makers told courts "we never said it was safe and effective" — and it was government, media and "experts" who did. The same experts say mandating wasn't their call. Who's accountable for the deaths and injuries? hubs.la/Q04y0qR_0

Same process, both sides of it.

Care is moving into the home — palliative, post-surgical, hospital-in-the-home. High-acuity work, often solo.
Sector growth is not the same as good care. It needs travel time funded, real escalation pathways, and lone-worker safety taken seriously.
New AIHW data: assault is now the second leading cause of injury hospitalisation among Australian healthcare workers — up from fourth a decade ago. For the general population it ranks seventh.
