  1. After having the huge honour of attending a round table conversation only two weeks ago with our Minister for Aged Care and Indigenous Health I feel very sad and disappointed .

My sadness is that the huge role he is leaving is increasing to other roles for the next Minister including sport and youth . I feel it’ is to much under the one umbrella role .
