Starvation Imminent in Prime Minister's Electorate
Violet McCowatt, Grey Power Social Services spokesperson has been informed that the Government plan on withdrawing their subsidy for Meals on Wheels in the Prime Minister’s own electorate. The service will cease in September and Grey Power suspect the same will follow in other areas shortly thereafter.
“Grey Power condemns any closure of this service. This is the thin edge of the wedge and we are obviously concerned that the vulnerable may be unable to feed themselves. This comes hot on the heels of the Govt cuts to home help...what next for the elderly?” says Violet McCowatt.
