Advances in science and medical research and public health policies have meant that life expectancy for Australians is one of the highest in the world.
We are increasingly recognising and accepting, respecting and celebrating, our cultural diversity.
We are already seeing older people wanting greater choice in how, when and where they receive care.
It is a fact that governments tend to put in place policies and strategies in response to current scenarios.
The Australian economy is resilient, but business and consumer confidence is fragile.
But it's not just the cattle producers, it's all the attendant industries like transport and shipping and feed producers and the like. There will be enormous ramifications across the beef industry generally as a result of the Government's decision to ban all exports to all of the abattoirs in Indonesia.
Ageing means a loss of a number of skills over time.
We know that so many of the conditions and diseases that we associate with ageing can often be prevented or in fact their onset delayed if we just took preventative steps earlier in our lives.
Synergy and serendipity often play a big part in medical and scientific advances.
We have, after all, an ageing population, and dementia is generally a condition of ageing, in that the risk increases with age.
We have a decreasing birthrate, although there are attempts to stem that trend, and we have an increasing life expectancy.
Our cultural diversity has most certainly shaped our national character.
We preserve the status quo, preserve existing systems.
My point is this, the Government made this decision to ban totally beef exports into Indonesia, even to compliant abattoirs and this will have enormous consequences for the beef cattle industry across Australia.
