Attending the Royal Aged Commission in Sydney

When I attended the Royal Commission in May 2019

When it was seated in Sydney, I listened to a very eloquent and articulate Professor who discussed aged care facilities and the many challenges.

I was sitting next to someone and said “we must change the legal and taxation system so it is just and fair for everyone”. They replied, “Oh that will never happen!”

I thought to myself at the time, “then what’s the point of the Royal Commission?”

A few moments later I received a message on LinkedIn which said “you are brilliant, the world needs you!”

I had connected with another the day before and had sent her my articles to read and she kindly responded after reading them.

I thought “OK I must never give up and I must keep fighting for every carer around the globe!”

At morning tea I went up to the Professor and asked “what about carers the other 70% who are taking care of at home their loved ones?”

He replied, “well that will need someone with enormous energy!”

I replied “Well that’s me, and I’m going to change the world for all carers with my carer strategies!”
