Four Corners The End of the Line
With more and more Australians living longer the task of finding quality care for people who can't look after themselves is getting tougher. The Federal Government says that Australia has a first rate system which looks after its most senior citizens, but is that really the case? Reporter Wendy Carlisle talks to four families about their struggle to find quality care for their loved ones.
Four Corners is Australia's premier television current affairs program. It has been part of the Australian story since August 1961, exposing scandals, triggering inquiries, firing debate, confronting taboos and interpreting fads, trends and sub-cultures. Its consistently high standards of journalism and film-making have earned international recognition and an array of Walkleys, Logies and other national awards.
