Raspy Crickets, if threatened, make a noise by rubbing their abdomens against their legs. Unfortunately many care recipients are unable to make a noise when they feel threatened; can't even complain.

In 1989 I made some noise on their behalf when Penguin (UK) published my novel. 'Buster's Fired a Wobbler - A week in a psychiatric hospital', which shone a light on the hidden lives of the seriously mentally ill, the demented, the institutionalised who were housed inside a type of mental hospital that's since become extinct. 30 years on, I still take some small comfort from knowing I played a part in helping to change the system forever. https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B07YLFSCGR

In the light of the appalling findings that brought about, or have been revealed by, our three current Australian Royal Commissions @RCMentalHealth @RoyalAged @DRC_AU , which can no doubt be replicated around the globe, maybe it's time you got out there and made some noise on behalf of the recipients of such sub-standard care, such open abuse, such blatant exploitation? I'm not asking you to rub your abdomen against your legs, not even to write a novel, but you could ask yourself, 'What can I do to make a positive difference?' Then you could do it.
