The family of Nancy Lennox spoke out after an ABC investigation revealed a five-year cover-up of her alleged sexual abuse by a worker in a Queensland government aged care home. Weeks after the story, staff called police alleging Mrs Lennox had also been abused by her husband and son — allegations the family says are false and are a reprisal for speaking out to the media. The federal government has introduced new whistleblower protections for aged care residents and their families who speak out about alleged mistreatment.
