Jackson Hills from National Shelter joined Jason Matthews on 4BC Mornings to explain how decades of underinvestment and a shrinking public safety net have left low-income Australians facing years-long waitlists and emergency living conditions.

Despite a massive $25 billion federal funding boost for public hospitals, advocates warn the deal ignores the critical "stranded patient" crisis, where thousands of elderly Australians are stuck in wards simply because there are no aged care beds available.

National Seniors Australia CEO Chris Grice joined Jason Matthews on 4BC Mornings to argue that without dedicated funding to discharge these patients into appropriate homes, hospital overcrowding and "ramping" will continue unabated.
