Australian aged care and homes of aged people

Comments on David Uren and Lauren Wilson “Assets-test reform for aged care”, 21/01/2011, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/assets-test-reform-for-aged-care/comments-fn59niix-1225991995093

It is funny nowadays that the Productivity Commission is used for any inquiry, irrespective whether it has the expertise or not.

What the hell why it should have been asked to inquire into aged care funding issues and whether aged people should sell their homes or not?

What the hell do they have anything to do with 'productivity'?

Is it a joke?

Further, Australia is used to have hundreds of pages reports. This report is reportedly more than 500 pages. The Henry review is few hundred pages.

Why so many hundred pages?

Why so complicated and complex reports?

Isn't it similar to our tax laws running thousands pages that very few people can comprehend?

PS: by the way I do not find the idea attractive of including own homes in means test for aged care and forcing older people to have to sell their homes.
