It was work she used to enjoy doing but the past 2½ years of COVID-19, severe staff shortages and the lack of action by Federal govt to ensure facilities were run to higher standards for the residents and staff have made the profession untenable and so the only way was to leave.

In the Election campaign , they had a tactical method they were using to counter ScoMo. As the Libs were trying to wedge Labor to create a divide to attack and use against them so they stuck close to their model . This raises the others stress and they have to make changes then

I was a casual Liberal Voter for a number of years, however I struggled to understand the direction and administration of the Liberal Government under Scott Morrison. I will credit Scott with having an uncanny knack of uniting Australian Society. Whether it was a professional female office worker living in Northcote Victoria or a crusty old Truck Driver up in Gympie, Queensland, they both equally hated Scott Morrison and this government. Impressive, I must say! On the issue of National defense, I would add AUKUS and the absolute scandal underlying our Submarine Contracts. The reality is if we are going to perceive the Chinese Nation as a potential threat to our borders and we are going to defend ourselves against them, we need weapon systems capable of matching theirs . Nuclear powered submarines with stealth technology. That's it. Instead we dicked around telling the French that their Nuclear subs had to be converted to diesel powered subs so that we handicap ourselves in the event of conflict. All for the intent of providing jobs to people living in Christopher Pyne's electorate. We now have to be bailed out by the UK and US and at the same time making an enemy out of France.
