The police officer who tasered a 95-year-old woman in a New South Wales aged care home has been suspended- with pay- during investigations.

Dementia patient and great-grandmother Clare NowlandÌýis now in end-of-life care after being tasered, allegedly when she didn't drop a steak knife.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds says the officer wasn't a rookie.

"12 years service, senior constable, 33 years old- but at this stage, he is not a serving officer."Ìý
