This morning on the show, Cogho & Ez had a chat about the alleged abuse surrounding aged care homes and what should be done to stop it.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced a royal commission on the weekend after what he called an "alarming and disturbing" spike in elder abuse and the horrifying standards in aged care facilities.
In light of all that's been happening, Cogho & Ez brought up the benefits of having cameras in aged care facilities.  
"We're seeing some awful footage of the way residents are being spoken to and handled," said Ez. 
Cogho offered up his camera expertise, suggesting a way family could monitor their loved ones in aged care. 
 
"What would happen is if you had a camera in an aged care facility for a specific room, you're the only one in the code who can link into it. That would suit a lot of people, I think."
What do you think? Should cameras be installed in aged care facilities?
