That question is a sad indictment on the previous government because not only were its policies for our most valuable seniors in this state very poor, but also it did not implement any policies or practices to ensure that seniors in Western Australia were the recipients of appropriate supports. We as a government and I as Minister for Seniors and Volunteering will continue to advocate strongly on behalf of seniors and to make sure the priorities of that important sector continue to be at the forefront of this government’s policies and actions.
