WA Parliament to form a committee to investigate and address elder abuse.

A select committee will be established to inquire into elder abuse.

My hope is that the report and recommendations made by this committee will be implemented to provide greater justice for elderly people who have been abused; greater access to support for the elderly; and, most importantly, greater ability to prevent elder abuse.
