This is another frightening blow for Alzheimer's caregivers. Yes, I realize Tony Abbott is out of Australia, but Alzheimer's is Alzheimer's no matter the country. It is a horrid, mean, nasty disease and to take money away from caregivers is unfair.

A couple of excerpts from the above referenced article - "An estimated 332,000 Australians live with dementia but the country’s rapidly ageing population means that figure is expected to jump by one-third to 400,000 in the next decade.
"Experts say without a medical breakthrough, the number of people with dementia will reach 900,000 by 2050."
These statistics are frightening.
