The government needs to stop illegal detention of older people – The Age
The COVID reign ushered in a new world where we pretended the law didn’t exist, at least for older people.
But I am concerned about the position that head office took and steadfastly held for months to overly restrict the lives of the residents far beyond state government directive requirements.
From what I can see, illegal detention, false imprisonment and even the tort of battery have been business as usual across Australia under the reign of COVID-19. Even when nobody in a facility had the virus, or there was no real risk of transmission.
