Under Prime Minister Howard, when one person died connected to the kerosene bath scandal, former minister Bronwyn Bishop lost her job. Under this minister, aged-care residents are so neglected that one had ants crawling from open wounds and residents are dying of neglect. Why doesn't this minister resign, and why doesn't he allow someone like former shadow minister for mental health and ageing and senior senator from New South Wales, Senator Fierravanti-Wells, to replace him?
