Dementia Action Week starts Monday 19 September – ‘A little support makes a big difference’
This year’s theme is ‘A little support makes a big difference’. Discrimination has a significant impact on people living with dementia, their families and carers, and a little support from the community and health care professionals can make a big difference.

Littleproud: Labor is taking credit for coalition-led initiatives
In a release, Leader of The Nationals and Member for Maranoa David Littleproud has stated he is is amused by the Labor Government’s attempt to take credit for vital digital connectivity projects under the Regional Connectivity Program (RCP) pioneered by the Coalition.
Mr Littleproud expressed his support for an investment by the Coalition government to inject $12,874,838 into 9 projects across Maranoa under the Australian Government’s Regional Connectivity Program to improve telecommunications services when it was announced last year.
Mr Littleproud said Labor’s attempt to take credit for the $541,000 contribution to the Roma Datacentre and Regional Fixed Wireless Internet project was amusing especially when they are casting doubt over delivery of Round 2 funding announced by the Coalition under this program.
“The fact Labor are keeping silent about whether they will commit to funding projects in Cunnamulla, Quilpie and Bollon which will improve mobile coverage and broadband services under Round 2 of the Regional Connectivity Program, but are taking credit for approved projects under the Coalition, is a joke,” he said.
“Labor need to be more transparent and stop leaving Maranoa communities in
the dark.”
