Ageism Policy: Statements (Resumed).

 

4:00 pm

Mary Henry (Independent)

No one wants to be sent on a cruise. We want to be allowed to do what we feel like doing and a great number of us have a huge contribution to make. Anyone running for election should be careful to be nice to older people because as Senator O'Rourke and others said, we are very good at voting. We usually continue to live in the same place which, with the electoral register in its current state, is a big help. We are also usually very good at getting involved in the process of keeping our democracy going. Again, I commend Senators White and O'Rourke on this debate.
