    Here is some info for those who don't think we need increased taxes -

    Over the next five years the Government will spend $99.3 billion to support aged care services.

    Health expenditure - 2005/06 was $2.4 billion
    Health expenditure - 2017/18 is $94.2 billion

    Should I include dementia costs?

    Honestly, you guys are living in fairy land if you think we are going to be fine without an increase in taxes. We have an ageing population and a decreasing proportion of people paying tax. You guys don't want to increase immigration, you don't want to pay more tax, so how are we going to afford everything?
