A former nurse at an Adelaide public hospital has been convicted over the illegal filming of a partially-clothed dementia patient who was in her care. Diosa Navarro Rankine, 50, pleaded guilty in the Adelaide Magistrates Court last week to the degrading and humiliating filming of an 85-year-old woman at Flinders Medical Centre (FMC) in February 2015. The court heard Rankine used her mobile phone to film a conversation with the woman who was in a distressed state, and later showed the footage to her partner and a friend. Her partner notified the hospital of the video when the relationship soured just over a year later. During sentencing on Monday, Magistrate Jayanthi McGrath said the woman was “extremely vulnerable” and the offending was a serious breach of trust.

The NSW RSL has been warned it will “find itself a thing of the past” if it does not respond to a powerful new inquiry into alleged embezzlement and fraud within the 100-year-old institution.

The inquiry will have royal commission-like “special powers” such as the ability to subpoena evidence and compel witnesses to give evidence. It will be headed by retired Supreme Court judge Patricia Bergin.
