We speak with the federal shadow minister for health and ageing on the labour and housing shortages in regional Australia and the potential impact on the health workforce in aged care, particularly nursing. We review the Royal Commission on Aged Care recommendations that may not have contemplated a labour shortage and discuss the South Australian senator's visit to the Yorke Peninsula. The Riverland resident and former irrigator also hits out at claims from the South Australian Labor water minister that voluntary buybacks had not negatively impacted river communities.
