NSA proudly supports Federal Member for Mayo, Ms Rebekah Sharkie MP, and her call for government to establish a new portfolio and Minister for Older Australians. We also acknowledge Member for Kennedy, the Hon Bob Katter MP, for supporting this motion. With the expected growth of our ageing population, this is a timely opportunity for government to give millions of older Australians the voice and respect they deserve – a rightful seat at the table.
