fullfathomfive<p>We need to do better for people with dementia in this country. </p><p>Police officers need to be properly taught about dementia and trained in safe de-escalation. Care homes need to be adequately staffed. Care homes also need to be designed to improve safety, quality of life, independence, and comfort for people with dementia. Anyone who treats a person with dementia with utter contempt, like Kristian White did, needs to be held to account.</p><p>These interventions are not hard. They are all well studied and to proven to be effective, but there's no political will to do it. We don't care about people with dementia. Many Australians don't even think of them as people. Ageism, ableism, and a violent police force that faces no consequences, it's an explosive and dangerous mix.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/dementia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dementia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/nsw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nsw</span></a></p>

AJ Sadauskas<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://pixelfed.social/ajsadauskas" class="u-url mention">@<span>ajsadauskas@pixelfed.social</span></a></span> A bit more on this forgotten moment of Australian sporting history:</p><p>&quot;It was pandemonium. About 15,000 people were at Parramatta Leagues club and its immediate surrounds. Players were lifted from the team bus into the club by elated fans.<br />…<br />&quot;The fence pickets that weren’t souvenired had been piled together to make a bonfire. <br />…<br />&quot;The fence pickets went up. The grandstand, a wooden heap built in the 1930s, soon followed. The scoreboard at the southern end was ablaze. It was a fibro structure set on two metres of brick with a clock on top, which a group of men tried feverishly to rip free for a keepsake before giving up and leaving it to burn.</p><p>&quot;The goalposts were added to the bonfire, after one fan tried to climb to the top of them to get a flag. The man was still atop one pole as they fell, yet ran away and into legend. Advertising hoardings were ripped free and torched, taking chunks out of the fence.<br />…<br />&quot;Firemen and police eventually broke up the party. When they returned the next day, Cumberland Oval was a smouldering ruin, the grandstand a charred carcass.&quot;</p><p>More here: <a href="https://www.nine.com.au/sport/nrl/parramatta-eels-bankwest-stadium-cumberland-oval-fire-peter-sterling-20190422-p5hy90.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nine.com.au/sport/nrl/parramat</span><span class="invisible">ta-eels-bankwest-stadium-cumberland-oval-fire-peter-sterling-20190422-p5hy90.html</span></a></p><p>And that&#39;s why there&#39;s a statue of a bus in the main town square in Parramatta.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>history</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/sport" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sport</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NRL" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NRL</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/rugby" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>rugby</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Sydney" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Sydney</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WesternSydney" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WesternSydney</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NSW" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NSW</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Auspol</span></a></p>
