Retirement village residents are furious as leaked documents reveal a government plan to force operators to repay residents in just nine months—or 10% upfront within four weeks—with current residents left out entirely. Critics, including association VP Di Sinclair, call the exclusion “a disgrace,” arguing it ignores grieving families and fails to incentivize full repayment. The minister claims shorter timelines would bankrupt operators, forcing price hikes or closures—but Sinclair dismisses this as fear-mongering without evidence. She insists the policy, stalled for years, must be fixed fairly, not delayed further under the guise of caution.
