Both these highly vulnerable groups, and in particular the cohort of ageing parent-carers among them, also suffer from the severe and profound indifference towards their plight (and that of their disabled son or daughter or spouse, when they can no longer care for them) by the well-rewarded 'executive' bureaucrats and 'people's representatives' in our parley-a-ments who 'manage' (control) the disability industry.
This is not to mention, of course, the deafening silence of our 'leading' churchmen (sic) regarding this appalling, anti-social and anti-democratic reality in the midst of this our 'Rich Country', and the hubris of those who sit at the apex of economic and political power in this country - the handfull of men and women who are the Business Council of Australia !
