It’s not that long since the Royal Commission into aged care quality and safety handed down its findings Describing Australia's aged care system as a shocking tale of neglect that needs a complete overhaul and not mere patching up. This is the third episode of a special series we are doing with our chief economist Richard Denniss and special guests, based on Richard’s new book BIG: The Role of the State in the Modern Economy.
This was recorded live on 12 April 2022 and things may have changed since recording.
