Government tackling the problem of elder abuse

The federal government has pledged 15 million dollars to combat the problem of abuse of older people. The Attorney-General says he's appalled by reports of elder abuse, saying it's a human rights issue. And it appears to be a growing issue that manifests itself in many forms. Mary Ann- not her real name- says she's a victim of elder abuse.
