If you don't understand the term 'wrap around', Member for Lilley, it means that we provide services that will help people who have a need. If you don't understand that, you need to come and see me and I will explain it to you very, very simply. You didn't understand it when you were Treasurer. Had you done that, we wouldn't have the challenges for senior Australians that we have now.

But I'm not going to blame Labor, because we are taking steps to make sure that we put into place measured initiatives that will look after senior Australians. In those commitments to that $5 billion budget, if you look through each of the initiatives—that $1.6 million—it is about providing a range of services, a range of choice, and giving them comfort, knowing that we have a government who is prepared to look after them, provide them with a range of services and meet their needs, unlike the scaremongering you're doing, Member for Franklin.
